Well it's finally 2013 - the year of our new baby's arrival! Can't believe it's here already. We spent New Years Eve at Ben's grandpa's house like usually then headed to our friends house to watch the ball drop. I couldn't believe Tricia actually stayed up. She was slightly cranky but did really good overall! Hoping this is a really good year :)
As far as the new baby goes, we are totally not prepared at all. No name chosen. Room hasn't even been started! I feel so far behind but with Ben working out of town a lot and me being 8 months pregnant I can't do a whole lot. There's still things that need to be cleared out of that room before we can even begin to put the baby's stuff in there. I did have a baby sprinkle today that was thrown by my sister and mom. It was at Spaghetti Warehouse and it was a really good time. There were only about 15 people total because of people who couldn't make it but that's ok. I think we got a lot of the little stuff (and diapers/wipes!) that we need for the new little one. I have a few things to return that will help with credit towards the stuff I have to get. The biggest thing is ordering the crib this week so we can have that. I also need to figure out what we are going to do about a dresser - whether we move the changing table from Tricia's room to the new baby's and get her a new dresser or maybe buy another one for the new baby. Don't exactly know yet but we will figure that out here soon. Just so much going on I feel like there's not enough time left to get everything done.
Work has been completely crazy which probably hasn't helped the whole not preparing for #2 thing. With my boss being out due to her husband, my work load is just insane right now. She should be back in a few weeks now but things have been so insane I feel like I don't have a minute to breathe. And by the time I get home at night and do dinner I am exhausted and ready for bed.
