Mid-February already, and who’s excited for March?!
Not to wish the time away, but spring is just so close and I can nearly feel those warmer days ahead. Ironically, it’s been almost constantly snowing here, which actually feels appropriate as our house has battled yet another round of being sick this past week. Gah! Luckily we’re all on the up and up, just in time for the weekend.
I know I’ve said this before, but I’m feeling so anxious lately with all the baby prep! It feels like there’s a million things to do, and not enough time to do it all, so as the weeks continue on I’ve been increasingly in productivity overdrive mode. (Which makes times like this past week, when we were all sick, particularly difficult!)
This weekend’s projects include painting the baby’s dresser and finishing his nursery! I really want to head into the last few weeks with all those little details completed so we can focus on soaking in and enjoying our last bit of time as a family of 4. That feels SURREAL to say, by the way.
