Operation Nesting In Full Effect

This weekend was all about helping mama quench the urge to nest. Kent and I went to Ikea which has only been open for a month here. A few more fun decorations, a few million people, and a sweaty about to faint pregnant woman later we put this up. I like it so much I want one in our bedroom. We also got a coffee table with round corners instead of sharp metal ones. And duh duh du duh, paint for the kitchen! Do you know how hard it is to match to forest green counter tiles and ugly wood cabinetry? In the end we went with Washingtonian blue which believe it or not works with the green (I mean I liked forest green as much as the next person in 1992 but for kitchen counters?) I think we'll end up painting the cabinets off white. So yay progress! Too bad it's still 100 degrees here every damn day. We (and when I say we I mean Kent) can't paint until we can open some windows to ventilate and we can't open some windows until it's cool enough that I'm not in danger of getting into the refrigerator and closing myself inside of it.

This morning I got up early to go into work for a staff meeting at 9:30. When no one else was there at 9:45 I opened the calendar to find that the meeting is tomorrow at 9:30. This wouldn't be so bad if last week I hadn't driven the hour to work for a meeting at 8:30 leaving at 9 when no one was there and there was no meeting on the calendar. That day when I got home they were looking for me because the meeting was, in fact, scheduled for that morning at 9:30.

Things that I miss about not being pregnant:
Sleeping on my stomach
Drinking a beer/wine
Being able to say "whatever's fastest" when a hostess asks smoking or non
Riding a bike
Any food I might have read that I should avoid like soft cheeses
Sleeping well at night
Being able to paint the kitchen if I want to
All caffeine all the time
No one asking me "are you sure you can do that?"
Not overheating when the air is set on 75
Not peeing 5 times an hour
Taking a bath
Breathing easily at all times
Getting comfortable easily
My smaller bra size
