Getting there fast!

I can not believe I have let another month slip by w/o an update!  Lately, it has been so crazy in my life.....just the beginning, right?  We finally finished painting the baby's room...oh, and his name is Holden Vincent Reardon.  Kirk just made up his mind this past week on his name - what a stubborn a_ _!!!  LOL!  Bed is in just have to pick it up and assemble it.  Bedding is in and I had a lady come by this past week to give me an estimate on curtains.  My sweet mother-in-law wanted to pay for them for us so since I know nothing about curtains, I asked a friend's mother who has a shop to come over.  I have two windows in the baby's room and all I wanted were two panels for each window, chocolate brown in color.  Nothing elaborate just a nice fabric, rod and rings.  Well, got the quote in yesterday and it was $859!!!!!  I was taken back a little but told her I would get back w/ her.  So I called several friends (one of which is very well off but does her own decorating) and she said "Shannon, even the richest of the rich would think that quote was high"  so I felt better about it and my friend even said tell her no way and I will help you do the curtains.  We still have so much to do and we still need to order a dresser and a glider of some sort.  I'm actually thinking about getting a rocking chair at Cracker Barrel and getting some nice pattern to go in the seat.  That would be more cost efficent for me right now.  But I do love the gliders w/ the ottomans:) Holden is a very active boy and I'm hoping this is not an indication of what is to come..hehe!  I'm getting bigger and bigger each day and try not to dwell on it much anymore.  I know me and know that once the baby comes, I will start a work-out routine and oh, how I can't wait to start running again.  I even registered for one of those Jeep brand runners - I love it!!!  You can hook up your ipod and the baby can listen too while you run - neat-o!!! This weekend I had my church shower and next week we have a shower at my in-law's church and then the next week is the shower my friends are throwing for me.  So I have a lot to do to get the room ready for the shower gifts.  We are truly blessed w/ friends and family - everyone knows how much we have longed for this child and people are being so generous!!!  God is so good and so are you, my DS friends.  Thank you for your unconditional support and love - it means so much to know you care as I care and love each of you and still pray for miracles to come in your lives.  I wish EVERYONE of you will experience God's gift of love. Bless you all!
