Well, on top of being 26 weeks pregnant today I also have developed the dreadful stomach virus that is going around NWA. Josh had it last week and now I have it this week. I feel terrible. I just wish the virus would end like RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!
Anyways....this Saturday my mom and I (and hopefull my sister, Julie) will be heading down to Ft. Smith to the A to Z store. We are going to try and find an unfinished dresser for the nursery along with checking out their flooring options. Josh and his dad are going to be ripping up the carpets in our house so we can put down wood laminate floors in the living room, hallway, and nursery. This will be done by the middle of August.
That's all for now!

Frazzled because time is running out!
Well, this is going to be a picture free post because my computer at home is not hooked up. We have moved it out of the nursery and into the living room, but haven't plugged it back in yet. I'm hoping I can get it figured out tonight.
On to the frazzled part of today's blog:
I have realized over the weekend that I don't have very much time left before Piper is born. It is the middle of July with October just around the corner. October sounds so far away but it's not. Am I really ready to become a mom? I don't really know for sure about that one. I'm the type of person who gets excited after the event has already happened. Am I a bad mother-to-be for not necessarily being overjoyed and filled with so much excitement that I'm actually pregnant? You tell me. I am 24 weeks and 6 days into this pregnancy and it just feels as if I've always been pregnant and that Piper has always been a part of me. I'm curious if any of you out there felt similar when you were pregnant.
Anyways, there is so much to be done at my house to get it ready because we also want to sell it. We still have to tear up all of the carpets to install new wood laminate floors in the living room, hallway, and nursery along with new carpet in the guest room and master bedroom. I have to paint 4 rooms along with their baseboards still. I need to get a new dinette set and fix our front porch. We have to put in a few new pieces of siding on the house along with a new window and back door. We have to repaint and resurface the garage floor (if you know my husband then you understand....he's a mechanic by trade and hobby). Plus, we also have to fix the backyard...I have two dogs that each weigh over 100lbs. They like to dig.....ALOT!!!
This week I am putting on a pom squad dance camp for the Lincoln Jr. High squad. This will be interesting. I have had alot of fun making up the dances because they are so different, here are the songs: Thriller by MJ, Candy Man by Christina Aguilera, Shawty Get Loose by Lil Mamma, She's Country by Jason Aldean, and 409 by the Beach Boys. I hope the girls really like the dances along with their coach of course. In August I get to do another camp for the Sr. High squad....they are wanting jazz so that will be fun.
Okay, I swear this is almost over....on to a little bit of pregnancy news.
I have gained a total of 5 pounds. My doctor says that's really good and that I should only gain about another 15lbs or so if I keep doing what I'm doing. All Piper is doing these days is practicing her kicks and punches. Over the weekend we went to a motocross race to watch Josh, Caleb, and Asa race. Piper loved it the most when Josh was racing. She got really active and flipped twice while he was racing. Anytime we talk about dirtbikes she gets active.....this should be a good sign that she'll want to race when she's 4. She is also a total daddy's girl already. If I think about Josh or even just mention his name she gets jumpy. If Josh is around and she can hear him she gets even more jumpy. The best is when he talks just to her....her movements are so strong that everyone is visible from the outside. I know that he is already her slave for life.
Well....that's all for now. I get to go home and mow the lawn and water my plants after work......oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention this. I get to be a stay-at-home-mom with Piper. YEAH ME!!!!!
