Random Life Update

Whew! What a week (and weekend) it’s been.  This blog has been suffering a little bit but I think of you guys a lot. Here’s the lowdown on life lately:

1. Work has been crazy busy. Between busting my tail in the office and trying to get ready for a baby, I’ve pretty much had time to eat and sleep and do little else. But life doesn’t stop just because work is busy!

2. Speaking of getting ready for the baby, we finally, finally started to prep the space for the nursery. It’s involved lots of furniture moving and rearranging of bedrooms, but we’re almost done and should be ready to paint and get some baby furniture in here in the next couple weeks. 

3. Jason’s Meme had major heart surgery earlier this week. We spent two days in Charlotte this past week to visit her after her surgery. She’s on the up and up, but her recovery is not without its challenges. Prayers during the coming weeks are welcome. Meme is such a special woman in many people’s lives and is one of, if not THE most honest, loving, and genuine person I know. I’m always telling Jason, I'm so lucky I married into Meme.

4. On the weekends, we’ve been balancing our free time with prepping for baby and shopping for new stuff for Early Bird. We took a bit of a hiatus over the holidays because traveling and Christmas festivities left little time for snagging new goods, but we’ve got some new-to-you stuff added to the site and I should have some more up later this week or weekend. Thank you all SO much for your support over the past couple of months. This little hobby of ours wouldn’t be possible without you.

5. I’m sure there is more that I’m forgetting. I tend to do that a lot these days. I thought pregnancy brain was some sort of fake excuse concocted by I don’t even know, but it’s real, I tell ya. I find myself walking into rooms and forgetting why I’m there, not being able to find things that are right in front of me, opening the fridge and completely forgetting what I was going to get (um… milk for the cereal), and if I don’t write something down, you can forget about it ever happening.

So, that’s about it until I remember what else it was I wanted to tell you.

Have a great week, trillas!
