Life is like an hourglass...Eventually everything hits the bottom and all you have to do is wait it out until someone comes along and turns it around...

Warning: Emotional pregnant lady explodes in 3...2...

I must say that for the majority of this pregnancy, the hormonal break-downs have been minimal. I feel as though my hormones, instead of making me cry and act a fool, have gone in the other direction. I find myself fall down laughing at least once a day! The smallest things just tickle that funny bone and once I start laughing, there is no turning back!

That being said, there has definitely been a lot going on lately and I am feeling quite overwhelmed. Our baby shower is quickly approaching and tons of preparations have been made. Decorations have been purchased, game gifts have been made, and people are little by little RSVPing. No matter how much we get done, though, there always seems to be 100 more things to do! It is never ending!!

We FINALLY purchased Baby's furniture! It wasn't easy, but I am so relieved! The crib, dresser, changer and mattress...Everything has been delivered and is just waiting to be assembled. We are also receiving other gifts from family who, unfortunately, won't be able to join us at the shower. The stroller and car seat have been two large purchases that we are extremely grateful for!

BIG NEWS! For the last month or so, we have been trying to buy a house. We put an offer in and it was accepted by the seller. That part was easy, but we had to get the property appraised and it took waayyyyy too long! It was supposed to be done in 10 business days, but wasn't completed for almost 15 (not including weekends). It felt like a lifetime to us! But after all that waiting, we got the news today that the appraisal went as it should have and that we are free to move forward with inspections and closing escrow! We should be able to move in by the end of the month! That means, by October we will have our own home again! The boy will have his own room, we will be able to paint and set up his furniture. This is a very exciting and hectic time for us! It seems like everything is happening all at once.

Not to mention, my birthday is tomorrow. 24 years OLD! I'm not ready and have serious anxiety about getting older. I haven't even given it much thought until today because I have been so preoccupied with baby stuff. I just feel like 24 has come too soon! Within just a few short months, I have turned another year older, we're buying a house, and having a baby!

When did I grow up?!
