One Step Forward... Ten Steps Back

Kay • SJM 7/8/18💙 Baby #2 11/3/20💛

I am 33 weeks and between trying to get stuff ready for the baby shower in 2 weeks and getting the nursery set up I feel like I’m running around like a crazy person! I was making a lot of progress with getting the before storage room cleared out to start turning it into the nursery, but then we had to make an unexpected 17 hour drive (34 hours there and back), 2 day long trip for my boyfriend’s work. Since it was such short notice I could not find any boarding places for my 2 large dogs that had openings available, so we had to leave them home and have a friend come over to take care of them. The only room that I cared least about them destroying (I still cared a lot, but we didn’t have many options since we had to leave that night) was the soon to be nursery since there was nothing in there. Well to say the least, the dogs destroyed the carpet, so all that progress I was making in there is now put on hold until we get new carpet. These past couple days have been torrential down pour and my mom’s basement flooded, which just so happens to be where I was storing all my baby stuff until I had room to bring it to my house. Well I still don’t have room at my house, but I have to bring it here anyways to save what wasn’t damaged. I don’t have much help because my boyfriend is an OTR truck driver and is gone for 2-3 weeks at a time and all my friends have day jobs and kids of their own to take care of, so I’m just trying to do everything by myself. I really hope this baby stays in there for as long as he can because I am not any where near ready for him to be here. IDK what I’m going to do if he decides to come early. Just wanted to say what was on my mind, needed to get it all out.
