Are we Crazy?
I wonder that same question several times a day I think. Sometimes I think that we are more than crazy, just plain insane. I was just watching out our front window at the concrete spilling into the forms and can hear the nail guns shooting nails to hang the trusses on the garage. This morning I got everything submitted for entry to a Parade of Homes that will be in September. As if having a baby is not enough we have to add into the mix some remodeling, a parade of homes that needs decorating, a new garage, yard work and whatever other great and fabulous idea I have. Sometimes I think it would have been easier to just build a new house. And we will someday anyway. But whatever pain it causes, mostly mental, I am very grateful that we are capable of doing these things.
Since Reagan has been in a big bed I have decided that it is a similar transition to having a new baby. It takes a while for them to go to sleep and just when you yourself have drifted into sleep you hear crying or falling off the bed. You sleep for a few hours only to hear crying again, except this time it is 5:30 in the morning and she is awake for the day. So instead of pregnancy waking me up to go to the bathroom I can just rely on Reagan to adjust my sleeping schedule for a new baby. How delightful. This morning at 5:30 when she was sneaking into our bedroom, Brian went to pick her up and she started laughing thinking it was a game. She had her shoes on was ready to play. Yesterday is was 3:30 am that she had her shoes on. So Brian went to get in bed with her and I think he fell asleep but she didn't. So I think I need to pay a visit to the fabric store to make some blackout shades and something else for her toys and shoes maybe to go in outside of her room. What a goof!
Yesterday, Reagan was lovey dovey more than usual. Sometimes I whisper in her ear, I love Reagan and yesterday she was shoving her ear to my mouth and saying I love Reagy. That is what she calls herself. We are not sure where she got that from, but if she sees a picture of herself she points and says Reagy. At some time in the near future I will get some new pictures up of our house, my headboard that I made, and of course Reagan.

AGHHH!
You never ever in a million years think that your child could possibly be a brat. Well, I will be the first to admit it, Reagan is a brat tonight. Brian went to put her to bed and she of course was mad because he wouldn't lay by her for hours and then flipped out. She holds her breath when she gets mad and then of course tried to get up and walk and passed out and hit the wall. That made it even worse. So after 10 minutes of trying to get her calmed down I went to give her some medicine for her nose and it went down the wrong tube. Bawling and more bawling. Brian took her to go get her blanket and once again she went into all out hysteria because she thought he was going to put her to bed. I don't know what the big deal is but she doesn't like Brian to put her to bed. What a particular little brat. I don't know if it is an age thing, a too tired thing or what. I know that some of you are saying "that apple doesn't fall far from the tree" but I never got called Stormy or Ethel either. She is so particular right now. She doesn't like me to change her diaper or she won't eat very good for me but when Brian asks her to eat her food she does so willingly. Can't wait till I have one more to contend with.
On top of that, she takes like 2 hours to go to sleep at night and has been waking up at 5 am. I am not a morning person to begin with but 5 Am. The other night she woke up 3 different times and then was awake at 6:30 for the day. So we both were ornery and tired and we had to stay together all day. So I am not sure what to do with her. I think a lot of her problem is she is not getting enough sleep and because of that she is tired to really think straight. I am like that most days.
Now for the better stuff I guess. Our garage is partially framed up and trusses will be here on Monday. Yeah! We have carpet in our office downstairs and we hydroseeded our lawn. However, there is not enough pressure with our water to get our sprinklers working great so I have to hand water a little. It is a pain. I am not sure if the pump is down or what but it sure is annoying. So things are getting done. Sometimes it seems like a snails pace and other times it is a little faster. I will be glad when it is all done. Last week I was stressed because I felt like I had no control over any part of my life and this week I could care less. So I sit on my couch and think gosh I should do something. Gotta love being pregnant.
Good Things
1. Sanity, something I wish to have someday but probably never will
2. Progress
3. 9 1/2 weeks to go.
