Things are finally starting to feel normal. We received our household goods about 3 weeks ago, and went right to work unpacking and decorating. Somehow with my big belly, I managed to persuade Ben to paint the girls' rooms! Natalie's room is painted light pink, and is accented with blues and pinks and butterflies. She now has a big girl's room! Avree's walls are covered in yellow. She has one large window with a pink, purple, and green curtain. Her bedding includes all of these colors, and the overall theme is princess. When Natalie was born, I tried to stay away from pink and princess, but I have caved in.
We have purchased some things to help make us more comfortable. Among them are: lots of curtains, an A/C unit, an area rug, a nice glider for the sleepless nights ahead, and a new living room set. As soon as I get the energy to get up and do something, I will post pics!!
Now that things are out of the box, put away, and hung on the walls, it actually feels like home. Natalie has even managed to get on some sort of schedule :) The potty training thing, however, is not progressing as we would have hoped :( Oh well, she will get there eventually!
Block leave is coming up, and we hope to sneak away for a few mini trips. Avree is very active and growing faster than I am, and she is measuring right on time. Natalie had always measured 1-2 weeks ahead. Remembering how chunky Natalie was, I told Ben, "wouldn't it be weird if we had a small baby?" The thought makes me laugh. Just 7 more weeks until we find out!
Take care & God bless!
