Well this pregnancy is moving along very fast...and the end of the year is almost here! So much has been happening in the Steele household over the past couple of months and it just keeps getting crazier. I am finally sailing into the 2nd trimester and i thought the 1st trimester bumps were over with and then the vomiting has struck me all over again....and worse than ever before. I am miserable and wore out.
We are in the process of rearranging the whole house to get ready for the new baby and it is a lot of work. We are getting bunk beds this week for Grant's room and so the baby bed will be moving back into our room until the baby arrives. I am a little apprehensive about him having a big boy bed where he can move around at night but he is such a good sleeper i am really hoping this works out to our advantage.
We should find out Monday the sex of the baby and i can't be more happy about it. So many people say why don't you surprise yourself but i just can't do it...i am a planner and love to shop. I want everything ready when the baby gets here, no surprises! So we have all the baby gear taking up a huge area of our room which also had to be rearranged to make room for the nursery in the front area of our room.
In addition, with Christmas right around the corner we just got all 5 boxes of Christmas gear out and set up in the living room. In doing that i had to move a HUGE amount of the kids toys out of the living room/playroom to make room for our massive tree and i still am not sure i have taken enough stuff out...but i have no room for anything else anywhere else. With the new bunk beds going in Grants room i barely shoved and rearranged to fit all the extra toys in his room. This should be very interesting with Christmas toys on the horizon.
I am freaking out just a little bit. I feel like the house is in a frenzy and all 1/2 completed and i feel so tired and sick that i just want to lay on the couch and do nothing for awhile. Unfortunately that isn't possible....but i am very happy and thankful for the chance to have all this chaos....yeah i know i don't sound like it...but you are where i can vent and release all this pent up blahhhhhhhhhhh!
I am excited for the Holidays and the big changes coming into our household. I am so Thankful for a God who takes care of my family and friends and provides so much for us. I am thankful for being sick and God trying to show me that life is not a box of chocolates 24-7 but we still need to be gracious and thankful even when it is the hardest thing. I plan on celebrating this Thanksgiving giving thanks for all my blessings and i hope you do the same.
I'll finish the post of with some recent pictures of some of the adorable kids i've had a pleasure of photographing this month!
I'll try to add some pics of my own kiddos soon and my photoshoot for my friend Missy's 2 week old little baby boy Gavin i'm taking this week. Happy Holidays!!!
