Because this dog is the biggest goon I know... I had to pick this picture.
I realize that I am 33 weeks along...but losing the USB cord doesn't help me upload pictures! I'll try to keep it in a safe place for next time. :)

2 months, wait what??
Things I need/want to get done before the baby is here:
Today I will mop the floor. I will also empty the hamper that is currently filled with the clothes I cannot wear now (out of sight out of mind thus far because I miss them, as shallow as that is).
My sister moved the dresser that was in there to our bedroom. Now there are four dressers in our room... it's getting comical up in there! I'm even hoping that Michael may have time clean out one or two of the "old" dressers so we can move those this weekend to our downstairs guest room. Rotating dressers just keeps the rooms taking turns with the humor. Someday maybe we'll have a normal amount of dressers per room?? What is the proper ratio for that anyway?
Rambling thoughts all day long about 30 topics a minute...exhausting!
- Frame around window in her room
- Buy replacement letters, paint them, hang them (boo failed attempt.. I need some motivation people)
- Make fitted sheet for crib (times two, I'm too adventurous for my own good sometimes)
- Get a rug
- Have a baby shower or two
- Find a place to put the toys she won't be old enough to use for a while

Lazy lazy
I have done nothing productive this weekend. Well that's not entirely true, but when you look at the long list of things/projects I have started and have not finished, what the heck was I thinking?? I need to get going on this stuff or I will be completely overwhelmed. I could use the excuse "waiting for Mike to get me..." or something along the lines of "don't have what I need so I'll have to wait until..." but either way, I could have found something that I could check off my internal "hurry up and get done" list.
On a fun note, we are babysitting Scooter and Chloe, my friends Katie and Jarrod's little dachshunds...
Cuties, huh? Katie and I went to high school together and managed to somehow stay connected and stay pretty strong friends all these years later (I sound like I'm 74, and I'm fine with that.)
This lady is awesome. She's lost a ton of weight by working with Weight Watchers and working out consistently and is the smallest she's ever been. Pretty much my hero! I told her that once the baby is here, she needs to be my personal trainer/motivator. She said she's ok with that so I'm going to hold her to it!
Anyways, they got to go to Arizona while we stayed in the chilly rain here, and we are in charge of these pups for the next couple of days. Favorite part of today so far: we had a rodeo on the tv, and every time the bull was let out, Scooter absolutely freaked out barking and jumping all fierce. This made Chloe freak out, and Buckley, being his normal adorable self, ran to the door to see what all the barking was about (up the stairs and another room away from where Scooter was barking). He has no idea what is going on most of the time. I think they are a little high energy for my large, slow dog.
My only fear is running over the little shadow that is always behind me.Chloe is the sweetest girl but seriously she's tiny and I might step on her. I make no promises.
K here is a pic of Katie: She's the best... Happy Sunday night you all!

Bassinet dilemma
I cannot figure out if we need a bassinet or not.
When looking for a bassinet, I've noticed that a decent one costs anywhere from $80-$200. I cannot justify spending that much money on something that will only be used for 2 months...
But then I think of how often I'll have to wake up to feed her, and how convenient it will be to just role over and pick her up. On the other hand, her bedroom is literally 10 steps away. It wouldn't be much different than me getting up to go to the bathroom every couple of hours like I have been doing already.

I found one that I like:
Its from Ebay and its actually quite cheap ($45 with shipping). So what do you think? Do I need it? I know its cute and would definitely look great in our room, but can I get by without it? Is this something I will not regret skipping if we don't get one? So many questions...
My friend Jen pointed out that it won't rock. So there is another question. Is it important that it rocks? Will Josie really notice the difference if she never experiences a "rocking bed" to begin with?
Lets hear some feedback please. I'm feeling lost here!
