Preggers

I've been struggling with writing postings as of late. Mainly because I don't really know what direction to take my blog in. Truth be told, I am me. I write about my life and what is going on in it at the moment. And well, right now, it's me being preggers.
I kind of want to take some time and let you know some of my truths that maybe no one will tell you or maybe you won't ever feel. (especially if you are man, you will definitely never feel these things lol) 
Being preggers is hard work. No joke. We all know how our body changes, sure of course, but how about the ups, downs, pains, aches, and weird things that go on? It's kind of a roller coaster ride.
The first few weeks, I felt fine. Then "morning sickness" kicks in. This term must have been made up from a man, because it's certainly not just for the mornings!  Then there was low progesterone levels that were treated with meds, these were up messy and just added to my nausea. Do the best you can to not to get a cold while preggers, because that "common cold" turns into hell on wheels. You can literally take nothing. So if you get a cough, ha ha on you. Cough it out and suffer. After all of this I started feel good got the amazing "glow" everyone told me all about. But sadly, that only lasted for so long too ! Because come that sneaky third trimester watch out ! Aches, pains, and emotions that you never thought you'd feel, are felt.
But guess what ? Through all of these aches, pains and complaints, the mind blowing process of creating a little human makes you so overwhelmed with an amazing emotion. There have been times I have sat and said to Mr. B, "Can you believe you and I created him?, can you believe he has our blood running through his veins?" I already love him so much that I can not wait to meet him. I can only imagine seeing him for the first time and how I will fill with so much more love. In just a few more weeks our lil B will make his first appearance. Life is going to be nothing short of amazing !

Some plans come undone...

This seems to be the theme of our lives lately but it also fit in to the semi decorating reno I wanted to do in our downstairs bathroom/laundry room. And see that was the question, is it a bathroom or is it a laundry room or heck, is it both? I decided to embrace it and decorate around it being a laundry room. I planned on painting the walls gray and one day I will get around to it. But for now I just used the decorations I had come up with to change it up a bit. Here is the before. And the after... We removed the verticals and hung a valance that we had, we had changed the light fixture months ago to make it flow better with the one above the sink. We also changed the hardware on all the cabinets to silver instead of bronze. We also added a shelf to go above the washer and dryer. This way all the soap, fabric softener and bounce sheets had a new home. I then added decorations that went with the theme of a laundry room. Believe it or not this old washboard was in our shed. Looks like ...

Stressed blessed

Strange title right? Let me explain. Over the weekend we put our a/c on in our bedroom and it smelled disgusting. We call for service, being the planner I am, we of course have a service contract... So they come to service it and they tell me it needs to be taken out of the wall for two week to be cleaned etc. etc..... LONG story short we need a new a/c, this one is shy of three years old and the old service contract I paid in full for, is now gone with the unit. New a/c = new service contract =  more $ spent.... So this stressed me out. We also have a lot of things happening in the next few months. We have three monumental birthdays coming up for loved ones, a bridal shower to celebrate, a baby being born, a wedding, our son's dedication, Father's day, Memorial day and house guests coming to stay with us ... all which we need $ to purchase gifts, outfits or items for... So this stressed me out. Then, I sat back and thought about it. I realized ...
