Thank you, all, for your love and care on yesterday’s post. Its been a frustratingly long road of pain. Along the road of sore muscles and restriction of movement came weight loss, night sweats, and swollen hands and feet. I’ve felt very concerned and overdone. And clearly, a handful of you carry concern for me as well ❤️ So thank you.
We were gifted a meal yesterday for supper, which was SO nice. Yesterday was actually a really difficult day for me. I sat stagnant while Brady did everything. I felt like SUCH a lazy butt. He sorted and worked on laundry. He did dishes and fed the kids. He refereed between the kids and looked after Wavy, who is adorable and also has zero awareness for staying out of the way. He brought ALL of the toys downstairs and ditched the baby gate! That has been a long time coming! FREEDOM!!!
Then, because we were overachievers, we decided yesterday would be the day to switch the bedrooms around! FINALLY! (Oh ya, spoiler alert. The basement is basically done… I should post about that someday.)
It turned out that choice was exciting, but also a bit of a lofty goal with only one parent who could actually use their hands. Brady worked HARD, and managed to get beds all where they belonged. Clothes didn’t all move. Dressers didn’t all move. It wasn’t glamorous. But everyone slept in a different room last night with a different roommate!! I’ll show you when its all a bit more organized 🙂
The last bed, however, was Waverly’s crib. That girl is still in a playpen. Which is fine, but we’d love to get her out of our room! This is easily the longest we’ve ever had a baby in our room, and while she is such an adorable, user-friendly little roomie, the girls gotta go 🤷♀️ We bought a super cute crib on Facebook Marketplace and are finally assembling it, and of course, we didn’t have all the bolts. Today, however, Brady was able to track down what we needed locally! Thank you, again, Landry. Seriously, that guy bails us out time and time again!! But hopefully before the end of the day, her crib will be fully assembled and ready for its new occupant and maaaaaybe, for the first time in 18 months, NO BABY will sleep in our room!!
Which is nice, and also sad. I thought for sure we’d have another baby in our room by now, or a long long time ago. Weird. Aaaaanyway…
The afternoon will be spent napping, getting some details organized in the one room that does not currently contain a napper, and some lego and painting on the side. Once bedrooms are done, maybe we’ll start talking about taking down Christmas. I’ll miss the tree, but I’ll welcome the space. Our house is truly starting to come together ❤️ and for that, I am SO grateful!
