Don't you just hate it when the blogs you check out aren't updated!!!! It's sad, you just want MORE! Anything will do, just post something new! Unfortunately, I've become one of those people. It's getting harder and harder to blog. I've lost momentum. Rumors were getting to me a couple of weeks ago but that has passed. However, it's put me in a different mind set. I've been busting my butt working 2 jobs with all kinds of hours and I'm just TIRED. The longer the wait extends, the more money I have coming into my savings...yippee! This also means, maybe I can give up a night of working...yippee! So, I dropped one shift at my second job. I know that might not be a lot to some but it seems to be making a huge difference to me and it's only the 1st week!
I am also SHOPPED OUT! What? Can you believe it? Nesting must be over since I let the rumors get to me. Baby shopping is no longer exciting to me. Fun - yes (cause a girl always loves to shop) but not exciting like it has been! Plus due to the fact that I have had fantastic luck with yard sales (see Giorgia's Enchanted Garden) and friends giving me items...I don't need much. I have already had one friend tell me to stop buying so that people will be able to get me stuff at my shower! (awe, they want to throw me a shower!)
I'm the girl that's not getting married and isn't pregnant (physically) but LOVES to go to SHOWERS. It seems that I'm in the minority. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them. You would think that I was going home with all of the presents! lol. I can be such a dork! I am not a fan of the mingling part because I can be very shy. Ironically, I'm either SUPER SHY or SUPER NOT!! And it's not like I don't secretly like being the center of attention....I just don't want to be there alone! :)
Another thing I could work on is the nursery. Oops...can't, that was done when I submitted my dossier! But that's okay, it doesn't make me sad when I walk by it...just hopeful!!! It's too pretty of a room to ever make me feel sad.
So, I thought for a while that I would have nothing to keep me busy...WRONG. I have been working on creating our January DTC groups website

and our East Coat PandaFest gathering
...and I'm swamped. I LOVE doing this kind of stuff but tend to be too focused on it and let other things go. (Have to work on that). Now I have NO TIME to CLEAN my house before everyone gets here! AAAAAHHHHH! I wish that I could be as organized with my home chores as I am with my computer/work stuff. Life would be grand then. Ok, this is why I've been MIA for a bit. Hopefully October will be a better Blogger Month!!!

Stephe you are wonderful and we are a lot alike. Please do not stress over your house and it being clean. I will help you clean it on Thursday evening if you need help we can bond over Pledge and Windex :)

I hear ya! Now we are in for a long haul, gotta pace oneself. It is hard to keep going. Just know that everyday we are one step closer to our babies and you are not alone in your journey.
Keep smilin!
You've done a great job on our sites. Can't wait till next week. Hang in there. I don't believe for one moment you are all shopped out!!!
Stephe, please don't clean too much! We just want to sit and talk and have fun -- there will be no white glove test, don't worry! I want you to relax and have fun!
Oh that is so cool that you're having an east coast panda party. What a great idea, and wow you have done so much great work in preparation! You guys are going to have a wonderful time. Can't wait to read about it.
