Progress Complete!

Well, MUCH progress has been made over the last week!! Nick is FINALLY getting caught up at work and has been home in the evenings MUCH earlier, thus enabling me to accomplish more!

Saturday Nick and I went to Joplin and registered at BabiesRUs and brought home ALL kinds of goodies! We have a crib, a changing table, a pack-n-play, a swing, a stroller, and a car seat. I think those are the essentials we need to bring Kole home!

This is the print Nick chose (he did a great job)!

(I wanted to do Kole's room in lime green and brown--I didn't win that battle, but I can live with blue and brown (it is more "cowboy" anyways!))

Kole's room got cleaned out on Sunday after church, and our bedroom is also complete with its new additions! On Tuesday I had another doctor's appointment, and all is well! After the appointment we went home and got ready to paint. With the help of my loving in-laws (who hate to paint) it is complete two days later! I will pull the tape off tonight and finish any touch-ups that need to be done (I will try to post pictures of at least the finished paint job)!

Saturday we have family pictures for the Harris side of things and I think that Nick and I, with maybe the help of an eager Aunt Hannah are going to try to move the crib and changing table in his room and start assembly (that should be entertaining to say the least).

An awesome amount of progress has been made, and many thanks to all of you who helped!! We will see what this weekend has in store.....

May 1, 2009

Well at my doctor's appointment on Friday we found out that Kole is growing like a little weed!

They moved my due date from May 11 to May 1. This is not a bad thing, because it gets him out of finals week, but it is bad because Nick's mom and dad are going to be on a cruise, and if they move it up any more, the maybe gone still. Right now there are only 8 days from their arrival back on land to Kole's due date.

I am excited to say that everything looked good, and he weighed approximately 1.3 pounds! His pictures are WAY better than they were last month! I think I am having a 3-D sonogram done sometime in the next couple of months (thanks to Kim--its my Birthday present) and I am REALLY excited to see his pictures then!

January 6th is my next appointment and although I hope he keeps growing, I don't really want them to move my due date anymore!!

Well I hope everyone had a good Christmas, because we sure did (I will try to post some pictures at some point), and I hope everyone has a safe and happy New year!

Hopefully there will be some excitement this week! :)

Gift Exchange Number One...

Today at work was our Christmas gift exchange! It was so much fun, the guys are such dorks, and the things they come up to exchange for our $10.00 limit make me laugh. It is just another Monday, but our gift exchange and pizza was a nice light touch to a short week!

I have decided what I am going to do for the Harris gift exchange for the "male" gift, for our $10.00 limit as well, even though Nick thinks its lame.... :)

Ok, well I better get back to work for now...

This is it folks....its almost here...............

No Were Near the End......

Ok, well I didn't get HALF of what I wanted to get done last week done. That makes me sad. Now I have a head cold and sore throat that I think are trying to become a sinus infection, so at night when I get home, I feel like doing nothing. To top that off, once I go to bed, I can't sleep!! The past couple of weeks, I can go to bed just fine, and be REALLY tired, but about 2:30, I'm up! That's it, the good night's sleep is over. At that point, my nose starts running again and the coughing gets worse, you know, just about anything to keep me up.

Well here is to this week...sleet, snow, and all.....maybe something will get done.........

Half Way...

This week is half way over, but my progress is FAR less than half way done.....

Maybe I can make up so time after I get finals off of my mind, or maybe my good intentions were just TOO GOOD...

We will soon see....

Good Intentions...

So its Monday, every one's favorite day of the week, and I have decided that not only am I going to try to have ALL of my Christmas done, including wrapping, but I am going to clean my house this week (or at least by Sunday)!!

First off I am going to FINISH shopping, yes I said FINISH, providing I can find everything that I still have on my list, and get it wrapped and under the tree!

Next I am going to get the John Deere Room (our guest room) ready for the hunters this weekend. (This room is full of Christmas presents and left over decorations, so hopefully it will clean up fast and easy, once I get all of that stuff off the bed and under the tree where it goes!)

Third, I am going to clean out my closet, since MANY of my clothes are too small now, and probably won't fit ever again anyways. I am going to get our bedroom cleaned out and organized for the addition of our computer and filing system (I guess you can call it that). The computer is now in what will be the baby's room, so it has to find a new home. I think the only Internet "jack" (I guess that is what it is called) is in that room, so the computer needs to be moved and re-set up where it will probably be for MANY years. The hurry on this is that Craw Kan needs to come out and get our Internet ready for when school starts again next month.

Next on my list is that room. Right now we refer to it as the "office," not that much "work" other than homework goes on in there, but still. It is filled with Nick's hunting stuff, complete with a gun safe in the closet and a dresser full of shotgun shells and camo clothing. On the other side of the room is the computer and filing system. What a job this will be!!

So, after the John Deere room is ready, and Christmas is over with (for now), I will get our room ready and start getting ready for the newest addition of our family!!

Let's just hope that this week goes as planned, my intentions stay good, and I stay on task!! Wish me luck!!! :)

What is Society Thinking?!?!

I just can't keep this to myself......

I can't believe that these people are for real....but for all of you who like to have a nice steak now and then or even a hamburger from your local McDonalds, this article might interest you, as well as those of you who make your money off of cattle (or hogs for that matter)........

What an article to top off my Friday.......
