Busy Bee or Lazy, HOT, Pregnant Mama?

So, it seems like I can't decide if I have been a busy bee or a tired, no energy lasting, HOT as a forest fire pregnant mother! By the end of the day, well really by 4 p.m., I am DRAINED!!!! You would think that I have been super busy getting our new house decorated, but it seems to be coming together slowly. I am not quite sure if it feels like this because I have more rooms to decorate or just because I am plum tired. But either way, I have been spending most of my time doing house stuff!!!

Justin has been in Austin the past 2 weeks doing duty at the Capitol and let me tell you I never realized just how much I depend on him during the day and night. It has been hard to get in a routine without him here and the first couple of nights were rough. Especially getting up by myself all night long to put Kinsey back to sleep! He is usually the one who gets up with her and brings her to me and I have really missed his help. He is such a great dad and sometimes he doesn't give himself enough credit, but without him letting me take a breather every now and then I couldn't be the mom that I need to be! I will be so glad when he gets home tomorrow night, but the excitement will be short lived as he leaves again on Wednesday for a much needed hunting trip in Canada for five days. Things will be chaotic again without him but I know how much he loves his duck hunting and well, he is really good at it!

Once he gets back, we have my high school reunion to attend and I can't wait! It will be great to see some of my friends from high school and hopefully find new ways to keep in touch! I just wish I wasn't the size of a beluga whale when I see everyone, but growing a small person inside of my tummy can do that to me! Now the challenge is to find shoes to wear with my dress that I still need to get hemmed! Man, the more I type about what is going on in my life, the more I realize that I am really fixing to be a busy mommy bee! And to think I only have roughly 70 days left before this little baby makes his entrance into this world! Wowzers....panic shall set in NOW!!! But I think I will take a new baby over being preggo in this heat anyday!!!!

 On a final note, Kinsey has been doing the funniest things lately. She answers every question in her sweet, tiny voice with a simple, "No!" I can ask, "Kinsey, do you want a little brother?" And She will say, "NO!" I can ask her "Kinsey, do you want to eat fruit loops or cheerios?" And She will say, "No!" Poor thing, she is a little confused with the meaning of the word, but it's still cute to me...right now! She has also started to help me feed the dogs every morning and night. The amazing thing to me is that she knows which bowl belongs to which dog! She gets her smarts from me!!! She is growing so fast and talking soooo much. We just love her to pieces and our love grows deeper each day we spend with her! I love being a MOM and even in the dog days of summer, preggo and well beyond my comfort level for weight, I have found that a sweet, innocent smile can take away all the worry and doubts in my mind. What a blessing children are to their parents.... I am pretty sure I need her more than she needs me:) I hope you all have a great weekend and a nice, long Labor day weekend with the one's you love! Until next time, the busy bee is buzzing off....PEACE, LOVE and the REESE'S!!!

Some of the decorating we have done in the living room...still more to do, but it's a start.

A little touch of baby kinsey in the Master Bedroom! love those black and white pics!!!!

My new rug from Pier One... doesn't have any purpose right now other than to lay on the floor!! It's in the breakfast room....but I do not have any furniture to put on it yet, so for now it's kinsey's play mat!!!
