since i don’t have time to write anything deep…

I’m stuck at home today, since Ellie’s new bed will be delivered sometime between 12:01am and 11:59pm. Actually, they were a tad more specific than that, but I am still not leaving just in case! I can’t wait to get it all set up – I’ll post pictures soon! And of all my other nesting-type projects since I also finished our bathroom and bedroom this week. I’ll have to do a big photo shoot… Naturally, I probably don’t have any “before” pictures, since I never think that far ahead, but I’ll look and see what I can find!

We’ve been getting ready for Ellie’s birthday party, which we will be hosting at our house on Saturday afternoon. My mom is arriving today and my sisters tomorrow, so we’ll have a full house this weekend. The kids are super, dooper excited and have big plans for the 48 hours their aunties will be here. I hope they weren’t planning on sleeping at all.

Husband arrives home on Friday.  Yay!! This was his last trip for awhile. He’s been gone a LOT these past two months and we are so excited that he will be home for awhile. We certainly missed him being around! Of course, I’ll have to start cooking again. I am trying to plan the menu for this weekend and I’m stuck on “frozen pizza” and “chicken nuggets” and other daddy’s gone meals. Might need to lay on the couch and watch a little Food Network to get inspired. Hard work, but somebody has to do it
Speaking of the Husband, he just got a Blackberry from work. I am totally not jealous. (which is totally not true) Not only is it now super easy to get in touch with him, but it is just so fun to play with!! I want one!!! Only in pink!

New pregnancy craving: soda. Not from a can or bottle. Fountain soda. In a paper cup with ice and a straw, like from McDonalds. Heaven. I wish I had some right now.
I’m totally over the whole ice cream craving, although I still can inhale Chex Mix like you would not believe and could eat Mexican food every single meal, every single day. I’m amazed that I’ve only gained 27 pounds so far. Because, seriously, if you added up  the weight of the bags of Chex Mix alone, I’m sure they weighed at least twice that.
