I seriously don't know where to begin in posting about this weekend. It has been one of the craziest weekends we have had in a long time. Let me start by saying that my darling husband has been on vacation for 10 days which has been a blessing. It has been so good to have him home every morning for the past week or so. Logan has loved it. He is definetly "daddy's boy." Poor Dustin couldn't even go outside without Logan wanting to be right there with him. However, tomorrow Dustin goes back to work and Logan is stuck with me all day. I think he is in for a rude awakening.
My next hightlight of the weekend goes back eighteen months ago when I purchased a new comforter set. This comforter set did not at all match the paint in our bedroom. I have begged Dustin to repaint our bedroom. Dustin is usually easy going and doesn't fuss much, however, he refuses to paint. The last time we painted in our house, we seriously almost divorced! You all may think that is funny, but I am serious!! So, when we found out I was pregnant this time, I told Dustin that I wanted our room redone before this baby was born.
Well, we finally arranged to have someone come and paint our bedroom and bathroom for a small fee. I can't tell you how happy that made me. Then it happened. Our painter backed out on us. So, my precious husband decided he would make his very pregnant wife happy and paint the bedroom himself. Now, I realize how difficult this was for my husband to even suggest. I am forever grateful for his sacrifice, however, we didn't know the sacrifices we were going to make in order for him to complete this job. Let's just say that what we had hoped would take 2 days turned into a very long 4 days!! Which means that I haven't been able to get into our bedroom in 4 days. My clothes are in a basket in the dining room. I have been sleeping on a matress on the floor in Logan's room. We haven't been able to set much up for the pending arrival of our newest son. To say it has been crazy is an understatement. I must say now that it is all done, our room looks wonderful. Dustin did an excellent job. I have casually mentioned to him about repainting the kitchen and he quickly told me not to get any ideas.
Then there is the dresser for the boys room. It is so hard to find a good solid dresser for less than a ton of money. My in-laws had a 5-drawer wood dresser that they were going to throw out. They offered it to us and we took it. It was a bit beaten up so we decided to refinish it, which turned into repainting it. My poor father-in-law has spent the weekend putting on 4 coats of paint on the dresser. He offered to help out because Dustin was busy with our room. Thank you father-in-law!! Hopefully, we will move that into the boys room tomorrow and I can start putting clothes in it that are currently in bins and in a bassinet!
Lastly, I was able to have some "Stacey time" last night with some of my friends which was a lot of fun. We went to dinner and then to the mall. As I am closer and closer to delivering my second child, I am obviously getting bigger and bigger and more uncomfortable every day. So, we are at the mall last night and a feel a bit of a "gush." I thought I should get to the bathroom quickly. I did and all seemed fine then I started thinking, "what if that was my water starting to break?" It is still a bit early to go into labor but not so early that it couldn't happen. To make a long story short, we called my doctor and he sent us to the hospital to be checked. Of course by the time we called the doctor and went in, it was about midnight. We were there for about an hour or so before we were sent home. So, basically my water did not break, I just went pee in my pants!!
Well, that is enough about our crazy weekend. Hope everyone's weekend was as fun as ours!
