Finding time to grocery shop, sleep, work, put baby things together. Sleep, eat, spend time with my husband and friends. I lose over 2 hours each day driving and at least 2 more at work just trying to get organized.
I intended to get so much done yesterday between work and home and ended up feeling like crap and crashing into a Benadryl-induced coma for about an hour and a half. I went in circles for 3 hours trying to find the answer to a question at work that I am still pondering. I needed to get some baby laundry done, I halfway put together the pack 'n play. I still need to get some baskets for the nursery and organize things and decide what we still need to buy. We need to make room in the kitchen for bottles. We have baby stuff everywhere and just not enough room. I am overwhelmed and yet so unscathed by that fact that its not done.
Time. I just need a little more time. Time to get work done, home done and baby-prep done. Time to cook and clean our home, time to prepare our pups. Time to shop. Time to sleep and sleep well.
In other news, I had a wonderful baby shower over the weekend. Baby Evie is so loved and so blessed to have so many people who care for her. And I am so grateful to my wonderful friends both home and away who came to celebrate her impending arrival. I will post some more pics but here are just a few.
Oh time, that sneaky four letter word! We all need more time and it's infuriating that when we need more time it flies by quicker than planned. It will all get done, Mama. :)!
ReplyDeleteBaby Evie is so very loved! I had so much fun this weekend just hanging with you. WIsh we didn't live so far away, being together is just the best!
You'll be as prepared as you can be--and then you'll figure out the rest!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had a great baby shower. SO MUCH to be thankful for!!! :)
Time is definitely something that seems to disappear more and more quickly as the weeks go by. Don't worry too much, sweet girl. As long as you have diapers and a place for baby Evie to sleep (oh, and some breastmilk or formula, lol!) she will be just fine. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. I am trying to give myself grace as Vivi's due date looms ever closer. Her nursery may not be completely done by the time she arrives, but I am strangely ok with that. We have what she needs most and that's what is important. The rest is just me being an OCD perfectionist.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures from your shower are precious! The hostess did SUCH a great job!!! Love the colors:) And you looked gorgeous, sweet friend!:)
Youre such a beauty and the shower looked perfect!!!! :) I also feel you on the time thing. I don't have a commute (thank goodness) but I work late almost every night - usually until 630ish. Not by choice - but that's how my work schedule is. I usually dont go into the office until 930, but quite honestly, I dont have a lot of motivation to do some things in the morning time so then I just end up without enough time in the evenings!
ReplyDeleteYour shower looks absolutely perfect! And seriously, let me know if you figure out how to squeeze a little more time out of each day! I have a feeling this is only going to get worse....
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blog for almost a year but have never commented. Just want to say that you look gorgeous pregnant......it's been clear through your posts that you don't feel it; however, I'd never know based on the pics!
ReplyDeleteTime. Sigh.... You look great chica and so happy you had a wonderful shower! The time is almost here!
