The April Post

Its 3AM on a Sunday morning and due to a doctor prescribed combo of meds for my upper respiratory inflammation, I am wide awake. I would complain but it really is working for the congestion and I only have a few more days of taking them. I didn't realize I was feeling so bad until the meds reminded me what actually feeling good was like. Oxygen is a lovely thing. I highly recommend it!

I got a treadmill this month. Been a little sick to utilize it yet as much as I would like but I have managed to get in a couple of days. And David, who really wasn't enthusiastic about getting a treadmill (he wanted a stationary bike), seems to like using it. Its a gym quality piece that I got for a steal from a friend who just wanted to get it out of her house. She had weight loss surgery and has lost a ton of weight but does all her exercises at the gym now and didn't need a home treadmill. Lucky for me.

I spent lots of this last week getting my sisters house in order for the new baby (to arrive at any time now). 9 months of pregnancy and between her and her boyfriend, they never even managed to get the baby's room cleared out. It was an office that had been beaten into submission with a baseball bat. Literally. Between the drywall work and that fact that it was painted dark navy, it took some elbow grease to get it ready for a little girl. After my sister called in a panic that they were going to induce last friday (which didn't happen) and she didn't have anything ready, I knew it was time for a big sister to the rescue moment. I quizzed my sister about her ideas for the room and then I went shopping. My mom and I basically took over her house. I actually told her boyfriend that they'd had 9 months to get it together their way but now it was our turn to do it our way. Believe me, they needed the help. So we turned that dark office into a light lavender baby's room with a Disney Princess theme which was what my sisters vision had been. It was so beautiful that my sister actually cried. Making a pregnant woman cry never felt so good.
