Someone Needs an Intervention...ME!

Why cant I leave well enough alone? Seriously...I may have a problem, a redecorating problem. Well not just redecorating, repainting as well. Since we have moved in almost three years ago the kitchen and the master bedroom have been the same color. For those that know me, know that it is a long time for me to go without doing something different. Why cant I be happy with the way it is? Trust me, if I knew the answer to that question this entire house would be so much better!

So now it is time to redecorate and hunt down the perfect color for the master bedroom...mwahahahaaaa!

But seriously...I have a problem ;)

Shock and Awe

So after a long hiatus, I am back. I have been pretty busy this past month. I have learned that adding another child on top of two is definitely something to get used to. But I must say this time around the calmness that I feel is surreal. I guess since I have done it twice already, it just came naturally.

When I first found out that I was pregnant, shock and terror filled my body. When you and your husband have come to the conclusion that two was plenty and having another baby was the last thing on then agenda, having two little pink lines show up was terrifying. I wasn't ready to start all over. Emma was just getting to the stage where her independence was growing and having to start from the beginning was something I just didn't even want to think about.

All of those thoughts ran through my mind within seconds of seeing the infamous two lines but as my belly grew, the love for my baby grew as well. It definitely took some time for me to get used to the fact that not only was I pregnant but in a few short months I was going to go from two babies to three...yikes!

It seemed like those nine months went by in a flash and now as I stare down at my new baby I am totally and completely in love and thank God every moment for bringing her to us. She is a dream and now I couldn't even think about what our lives would be without her.

Our family is now complete :)
