Tuesday brain dump.

1.       We found out the sexes of the babes yesterday.  We are waiting to do a mini “reveal” at Collins’ second birthday party (she’s not old enough to feel like the attention is being taken away).  No less than 8 of my friends have called or texted promising that they can keep a secret, ha!  I was a NERVOUS wreck, I know, I know…that’s totally ridiculous. God decided the sexes of these babies a long time ago and there was NOTHING I could do about it, but STILL.  I didn’t sleepSunday night.  As much as I love being able to find out early-ish….I’m 16 weeks today/tomorrow I am still a nervous wreck until we go back for our 20 week ultrasound and they REALLY check the babes out. 

2.       It’s snowing here, again.  WHAT the WHAT?!?  No one is nearly as excited this time.  Because duh, we are ready for spring.

3.       Birthday party planning is in FULL SWING.  We are having her party this Sunday at the house.  Nothing outrageous, but I still LOVE planning and party prep.   I simply cannot believe my baby is going to be TWO. 

4.       I HATE buying maternity clothes.  UGH.  I haven’t yet, but I know I’m going to have to.  All of my hardcore maternity clothes from Collins are sweaters/pants.  Well, this go round I’ll be HUGE in April/May/June/hopefully not too much of JulyJ  So… what does that mean?  I’ll have to buy spring/summer maternity!  UGH!  I plan to go to Old Navy/Loft/Gap and stock up on dresses.  Comfy and lightweight for our hot summers.  I may have to dress a tad more casual at the office this summer, oh well. 

5.       We are in the middle of a garage renovation.  When we had a big freeze a month or so ago a pipe busted in our garage.  The ceiling fell through.  Fun times.  We are using this opportunity to epoxy/paint the garage floor and walls.  Mikey’s thrilled about it……..BUT it will look SO much better and maybe make us keep the garage NEAT and ORGANIZED.

6.       There are SO many shows on TV that we just can’t watch them all.  We are obsessed with: Scandal, The Blacklist, Nashville, I watch Grey’s and Parenthood.  But, I finally got Downton Seasons 1 and 2 and knocked them out in no time at all.  Season 3 is awaiting my pick up at the library and I have season 4 saved on the TV at home.  I wish I had time to watch more shows, but I am glad I started that one.  We also rented the Butler Saturday night and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I love movies that are little history lessons as well. 

7.       We now have both cribs set up on the nursery and are working on getting all of the old furniture out of there.  I’m pretty sure I know the set up I will go with, now to pick colors, fabrics, etc.  LOVE designing a room!!!  It’s more than a little surreal to walk in there and see TWO cribs though.  When will that ever sink in?

8.       I’ve had a head cold off and on for the past two weeks, I just can’t shake it. I’ll feel GREAT for a couple of days and then BAM, feel bad again.  UGH.  So over it.

9.       I need some new books to read.  Nothing has grabbed my attention lately. 

10.   Lastly, we had ANOTHER low key weekend at home.  We worked on the garage, I deep cleaned the upstairs and we attended Collins’ bestie’s birthday party.
