The *Waiting* Game

I am no good at waiting.

I am a planner, a list-maker, an organizer, a non-procrastinator, a do-er-right-away-er.

Waiting is soooo hard for me.

These past summer has been a real exercise in waiting and boy--is Jesus workin' on me cause I feel like I've had to wait for everything lately =)

And although I don't like waiting much, I think it's really good for me, in general.

The longer I have to wait for something, the more I appreciate it and that's a good thing.

We've been waiting on bunch of *big* things lately (I don't even have time to go into the nine million little things we're *waiting* on--eh):

Baby Wonderful!!!

Being pregnant is the best exercise in waiting EVER! And puhlease, don't let anyone fool you--it's not just 9 months of waiting, it's 10, people!! 40 weeks--YOU do the math =)

I've been *waiting* to buy baby accessories (ok, not waiting to buy the clothes but a girl can only wait on so many things =) and just finally made my first baby gear purchase!!!

I present to you the bouncer!!!

Isn't it super cute?

Our old one was pretty much devastated by Amelie and Maeve's frequent use and when I found this cute (cheap!!!) one at Target I had to invest.
It even features my baby boy room theme: Owls!!

Speaking of owls and baby boy room themes, here are my inspiration pages that I ripped out of a few baby magazines as I exercise my patience in *waiting* to see if we even end up with a baby boy room at all!!

I'm planning on painting a similar tree/owl mural on baby boy's wall.

You know, as long as this pregnant lady's strength endures!!

We still need a crib and dresser for him but most everything else is squared away

(thanks to the stock pile of baby gear left over from the Maevenator!)

And I love these owl pillows and the cards--

I'm planning on creating some owl wall art that looks something like these Etsy Cards I found:

We have the inspection on *our* house next week and I'm praying (maybe I should start fasting too, oh boy) that everything comes together so I can start working on things for a move!

It would be totally amazing to have a nursery for our little one--I can't even express how much this whole house thing means to me. God has certainly blessed us where we are and I am thankful to be here but having a yard and an extra bedroom would def. fill my cup to MORE than overflowing!

So anyways, that's my story.

I'm waiting....and that's ok....for now =)
