Spring has sprung!

It's been a pretty laid back week- just staying around the house. Wish I could say that I've been super productive but I haven't. Nesting hormones have slackened off considerably. Either that or my overwhelming tiredness is getting the best of me. I'm good for a few frenzied hours a day. Tuesday I cleaned the house, washed and vaccumed out the van, pulled out both of Bri's car seats, washed the fabric covers, and the plastic frames. Such a disgusting assortment of old french fries and candies make their way under the cushions! UGH! Dr's appt. Wed. Just a normal checkup (Yeah!) Figured that he would want to do an internal- but he didn't mention it. Hate these weekly appointments. Only 34 days to go! Elton swears I won't make it that far, and Janet told me today that she thought the baby had dropped. We'll just have to wait and see I guess. I packed my hospital bag this week. Better safe than sorry I guess. One more thing checked off my list! Today we FINALLY put the border up in Brianna's room, it looks really good. Will try to post some pics tomorrow. She's quite proud of her big girl room and requested that I photograph it! ;0) She is too cute! We also put up the border I salvaged from disassembling the family room. We put it in the hallway and the one wall in our room that doesn't have pine paneling. I really love the border, and it seemed like a shame just to waste it. Dad and Chris are fishing at the beach, C. called tonight and said that they had caught some sharks, skates, and mullet. Fishing must be pretty good to keep his interest this long. Hopefully tomorrow we can tackle the mouldings in the downstairs guest bathroom. Trying to get everything right before the baby shower- running out of time- its next Sat. Doris is in the hospital- not really sure why. Guess she either took too many sleeping pills or had a bad reaction to them (new prescription) she's been kind of out of it ever since we got home from VA. The girls and I went to go visit her Sunday, Elton and Chris were working on Dad and Janet's bathroom remodel project. She seemed o.k. just kind of lethargic. Apparently the sleeping pills have affected her kidneys, but the Dr. seems to think the situation will right itself. She told Elton on the phone today to buy a baby shower present and take the money out of her bank account, she didn't think she would be able to make it to the shower. I wonder if she realizes that its 8 days away, E. seemed to think she understood that. Very odd behavior... I was supposed to take her to a baby shower in Goldsboro this weekend- perhaps she had it mixed up with that... Katherine has been quite the social butterfly this past week- spent 2 nights at Brianna McLawhorns, then a night at Graison's, then Graison spent the night with us, then she spent the night at Micahlynn's, now Micahlynn is spending the night with us. She loves it though, and Brianna loves it when sissy has friends over, but I know K. has to be exhausted- she hasn't had a decent nights sleep in almost a week! Oh well, it is Spring Break! Speaking of spring, we had a beautiful day today. Such a nice change after all the rain and clouds we've been having for the past two weeks. Sunny, 70's, not a cloud in the sky. We had one of the prettiest skies I've ever seen- a brilliant shade of blue. We spent quite a bit of time sitting out on the deck enjoying the weather. Brianna LOVES to play outside, so she was in 7th heaven. Dogwoods are blooming, so are the azaleas, and wisteria. The pecan trees in the backyard began showing some green today. They are always so slow to leaf, and they're one of my favorite trees. I just wish they would produce more- had a great harvest 3 years ago, but the last 2 years have been pathetic. So much for the one good year, one bad year saying...
