Progress

Okay no, not that kinda progress but we're making progress on our addition. Originally, we had planned to build a 20X20 master bedroom onto the back of our house and put KK in our room. Well after getting quotes well over $35,000 for that we decided to enclose our covered patio/carport instead. Well it was kinda hard to find a contracting company that would do something so small without them trying to charge us for every.little.thing to make up for the small job.

Okay, so I was talking to my dad last night and he offered to come down here for a weekend and help Darren enclose it in themselves. My dad is so darn handy it's ridiculous. He built him and my stepmom's master bedroom and a cabana room at their house in one summer...by himself. I ran the idea by Darren and he's totally up for it!!! See, Darren isn't exactly a handy guy when it comes to building stuff. But with my dad's help and maybe even Darren's dad's help, it should be done in a weekend!!! We just gotta pick a few dates to run them by my dad and see when a good time for him to come would be. He's been working on their fishing camp in Montegut so hopefully he can tear himself away from that for one weekend to come do this for us.

And since I ordered KK's bedset Weds, it should be in soon. I'm going to try and talk Darren into letting me start taking Bailey's room apart so I can clean it really good and paint it the color I want to match the bedding. I think Bailey would be fine sleeping on the couch when they come stay until his room is built. I just REALLY REALLY REALLY wanna get started on the nursery because you never know when she is going to be ready to make her grand debut!!

Well today is my 35 week appointment. They're doing an NST scan. I can't believe how close it's getting for KK to finally be here!! I can't wait to meet our precious baby girl.

Darren made the comment last night that we need to get a bag packed for us and I was like OMG yeah that might be a good idea....it hit me last night that this could happen any time VERY soon. It's kinda overwhelming. I just hope that I can be a good mommy to this baby girl of ours.

I've waited 3 long years for this. I've had an empty spot in my heart since we lost Wyatt and even though I knew I was a mommy to an angel and a stepmom to two children...I never really felt like a mom. I've never had anyone call me mommy and I can't wait to hear those sweet words come out of our daughters mouth. I know I'll always have that spot in my heart for our son but hopefully his sister can help me heal a little bit better.
