Nesting…maybe
Things have been going really well for Kami and little Ian lately and we are getting very close to 30 weeks into this pregnancy. That means we are getting into crunch time as should probably start to prepare for actually bringing this little man home with us! While exciting it is hard to wrap my head around it.
Those of you that know me understand that I am a task person. If I see a task then I get consumed with it until it is completed. For some reason the past couple of days our home has been the target of my focus. Our attic space is really quite nice for storage and is relatively easy to get in and out of…if it is organized. Step 1…organize the attic. Check. I have everything in its place and even built shelving to make room for more stuff as with all attics, they tend to fill up. I felt like we couldn’t tackle Ian’s room without someplace for the current stuff in there to go. And the attic it is!
So with that tackled…I moved my focus on to Ian’s room. Anyone that has been to our house lately knows that Kami’s sewing room can be a bit of a train wreck (sorry dear, it can). This is the room we have decided to make Ian’s. Step 2…empty the boy’s room! Check. With a bit of a whirlwind my wife and I were able to not only empty the room, but do it in an organized manner with the important stuff still accessible! Next up paint.
It was a VERY productive couple of days to say the least. On another update we were also finally able to stomach the idea of registering for baby items. Kami’s best friend came up (she has a 1 year old) to help and did so more than she knows. Registering was one of the last things we did before we lost Lukas and I was dreading it. I still had a rough day but at least we got it done! In case you are curious…Buy Buy Baby and Target 
Thank you all for your continued thoughts, prayers and support!
Too Many Places to Be at Once
So far the hardest part of the big job change has been balancing training my replacement and dealing with new projects at my new company. They hired me because they are at a point where they need my help and I am excited to jump right in, but I have been working at my old company for a decade and there simply isn’t enough time to pass along that much experience and knowledge on to my replacement. I am trying my hardest to remember to tell her everything that I can possibly think of and get her as prepared as I can all while being pulled toward the new tasks waiting my arrival.
I am finding it hard to say no to either my history or my future…it is a tough balance that has frankly made me ready for things to just go one direction! I have loved my time at my old position and am excited about my new one, they are wearing me out in this week of limbo. By the way it is really hard to verbalize everything that you do on a daily basis…so much of it you just do because you know it needs to be done. Any tips on how to tell someone how to do that?
Of course I am used to balancing many projects and tasks and I am quite comfortable in handling deadlines for multiple clients and projects all at the same time. One thing I have never been able to master is physically being in multiple places at the same time. I am sure there is something from one of those Harry Potter books that could help but I have not been able to locate that at Target! If anyone knows where I can pick one of those up before tomorrow morning please let me know.
