Hummers are back

I finally feel like spring is in the air. The hummingbirds are back and my plants are coming back to life. One chicken got out of the coup today and was just giddy while tearing up the grass. It seems like I haven't had time to relax since getting back from my last work trip. Greyson and I purchased cribs and bedding last week at babies'r'us. That is quite the place, but it really is nice to have such selection all in one place. And they give 10% off for twin purchases. Mom and Dad let us borrow their truck for 2 weeks so we are taking full advantage. After putting one crib together it became obvious that the new nursery just isn't big enough for two cribs and a queen size bed, or the rocking chair or dresser. So I found a sturdy bunkbed set with almost new mattresses on craigs list for $350 that I will be picking up tonight. Hopefully that will free up a bit of room to get the other crib put together. We decided to move that queen bed out into the room above the game room so if people visit and don't mind not having a bathroom at night they can sleep out there in peace and quiet.

What else... I am getting bigger. I swear I can tell on a daily basis that I am larger. I already am having back pain at night that keeps me from sleeping well. I might try more walking to see if that will help. Mother bought me some nice maternity shorts and capris but it is a tad too cold for those yet. So I am basically wearing the same 4 pair of pants over and over, but that makes it pretty easy to decide what to wear. I just have to keep on top of the laundry.

Take care everyone.
