Its The Little Things That Matter
Despite my preggo discomfort, which every
women who goes through the miracle of pregnancy experiences, things are not as
horrible as I would make them out to be. It really IS the little things
that count. For one, my hubby is here to take a few of the every day
burdens off of my shoulders, which I did not have last time around. And in
spite of his SNORING TO WAKE THE DEAD, I am very VERY appreciative of him and I
love him dearly. I have actually been able to take care of a few things
that bring me one step closer to being ready for Baby Bakri (as yet to be named)
#2. As mentioned in a previous post, the bookshelves that needed to be
switched out, have been. Now we just need to put together the new
bookshelf and get it loaded with our "publicly presentable"
library. I have also managed to procure a few small, but important items
such as pads to wear for that post partum Niagra Falls. If you don't know
what I am talking about, you don't WANT to know. I also picked up a
package of newborn diapers and OH MY GOD THEY ARE FREAKING TINY!! I
honestly don't remember them being this small, nor Travis being so tiny.
When you are still schlepping around your bundle of joy to be in utero, they
feel like they are the single most enormous creature on the planet. But
then when they get here, they really and truly are so small and tiny.
*sigh* OK,
and I have done a little bit more Christmas shopping. Tarik really wants
one of those silver Longhorn logos that goes on your car, so I picked up one of
those for him, and one for me of course. My side of the family has been
taken care of insofar as Christmas prezzies go, and today I also took care of
Nina and Liam, and Kathy. Still need to get birthday prezzies for Nina and
Tarik, both of whom are Christmas Eve babies. Tarik's sister is taken care
of as well. I finally took Trav to see Santa and while he was happy to see
Santa and knew who he was, he just couldn't eke out even a grin for his pic with
the old guy. Its OK. Those are going into frames for family. I
WAS going to take him for a professional portrait, but those would not be ready
in time to for Christmas, so I am going to take it myself and then get 8" x
10" prints made. It'll be MUCH cheaper to do this way, and I am not a
bad photographer by any stretch of the imagination. Plus, if I am the one
taking the photo, he will be more likely to smile. We STILL need to get
more stuff out of the bedroom that will be Travis' though, and it is still
causing me more than a few ounces of trepidation, but, we will manage. Oh,
I am apparently NOT allowed to have this baby anytime this week because Tarik
has to move all of the KBR execs into their new offices, meaning, he is the one
setting up all of their new computers and whatnot. Song
