Hope you all had a fabulous Memorial Day Weekend. Ours was great. We went to Moms on Saturday for a little BBQ in the cold with everybody. It was good. On Sunday we headed south to the state below us to see family, visit graves, and more to go shopping. Me more than Brian. We stayed at the condo and it was so weird not to have Ginny there. The cemetaries were great. Mary told us some funny stories about everyone. On Sunday, we had dinner with Mary and Bob. It was great to see them as we don't get to very often. Monday I did a little bit of shopping and had a nap. It was rainy and very overcast but at least it was not snowing.
Today, I am just trying to catch up with laundry, house cleaning, and whatever I catch up on. It seems like I have been on the computer all day accounting to not much of anything getting done. I do have my list though. Tomorrow I am going to pick up a changing table and hopefully this week can get the baby's room kind of set up. Today is the day too, where I feel we have way to many projects going on and NOTHING is getting done. Everything is in disorder and I don't like it. I think it mostly pregnant Brooke talking but maybe not. We made a headboard for our bed on Saturday. It is cool and I like it. A 2 year project in the making that really took about 2 hours. Sometimes I have the best intentions. So instead of updating my blog I probably should get to the rest of the intentions for today and see if they actually get done.
Great Things
1. Intentions
2. Mini vacations
3. Only 11 weeks left to go YEAH!!

We did it
Reagan did it. She slept in her own bed and all night long and she didn't even fall off. After much banging on the door, Brian went in and consoled her and she was out. We will see what naps brings and what tonight brings.

Its gonna be a long night
Tonight is the first night with the bed for Reagan. I keep telling myself that I am ready but tonight I as put her to bed and she bawls and keeps knocking on the door I am not so sure. I don't know who change is harder for, the child or the mom. She is still in her bedroom lying in front of the door I am pretty sure just whimpering like a little puppy every now and then. At some point I will probably get sick of it and go in the time is getting sooner because currently she has something and is banging it on the door. She doesn't exactly know what is going on. She knows or at least she tells me there is a baby inside me but I don't think she really knows what that means. We will find out in still too many weeks. Change is inevitable though each of us deals with it everyday.
I am just getting larger and larger. I cannot bend down without thinking that I am going to die or my legs are going to fall off from lack of circulation. I planted my garden and halfway through I kept thinking "what am I thinking?" My hands and feet are starting to swell and it has just started to get hot. .
We just upgraded I guess anyway to a van. I know I thought I would never do it but gas prices are high and I am too practical to pay for a SUV. Really it is because I am cheap. I think we will like it. The space and everything about it. Hopefully we will drive it for years, ions I mean.
I am about to my breaking point. I think she has the garbage can and who knows what else, but she is not sounding tired at all in there.
We are building a new garage right now. What a mess. Our house is a disaster everywhere. We are working on the yard. Well, let me just put it this way...what aren't we working on? It will be great when it is all done but in the process it is a little scary.
Great Things
1. Peace and quiet, Not right now but sometimes
2. Gardens
3. A husband who supports me and doesn't seem to even mind the nagging.

May Day
So its May 1st and it snowed last night. I wish we had normal weather so I could get my garden in and the rest. I need to move somewhere warmer. I hate this yuck of weather. I am sure that T's garden is halfway planted and everything is blooming well come visit.
We celebrated Reagan's birthday on Friday night with Grandma's and Grandpa's. She loved the cake and presents and having everyone there. She got puzzles, clothes, a sand bucket, and a bike. She loves them all. She loves to be outside and could be all day just wandering around but it has been cold. On Saturday, we took her out while we worked, mostly Brian worked and she chased killdeers all around the yard. She had such a great time. We are all really looking forward to summer since spring is not here.
As always, we are in the middle of remodeling. We are finishing a bedroom downstairs for the office and finishing the hallway and tearing down a garage and building a 2 car garage with access to the house and maybe a bonus room above it. It will be so nice. When that is all done we will finish the other bedroom downstairs and the bathroom. Hopefully we will also add siding and a new roof this summer and make our yard look better. What a work in progress.
Good thing's
1. A Husband who is extra handy
2. Garden Centers
3. Looking Forward to warm weather
