15-11-2008 - Just for me...

My mood while writing this blog: Confused

---

Like the title of this blog says... It's just for me. I need to write something to make myself feel better. This weekend was the weekend I had planned to start rearranging things and get everything ready for the baby since last weekend was my shower. Today I did just that. I rearranged the things I needed to and I washed all of her clothes. All I have yet to wash is the car seat covers and her bouncer cover which I will do over the next couple of weeks. I also want to get my hospital bag packed soon. I was really thrilled with what I got done today which was alot. Now getting online before I go to bed I see other peoples ideas for rooms and what they have done. It makes me feel so bad that I cannot give that to my lil girl right now. I envy those of you who have a whole room for your soon to be born babys and that you can decorate them the way you want them. I keep trying to tell myself that I could have nothing and my situation could be a lot worse. For those of you who don't know. My husband, son , and I are living at my moms. It was suppose to be to save to buy a house but right now with the holidays the Rv industry (my hubbys work) shuts down for 6 1/2 wks total for Nov. and Dec. and we are broke. Some things popped up now where I actually had to take money out of our savings and I hate that- we are suppose to be saving but at the same time we need a lil extra money to get by. I just started working part time again last week and it just ain't enough. Anyways, so I did a lot today and got just about everything I needed for my lil one. It just bothers me because we only have 2 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. My son and daughtar will have to share a room. Everything is so crammed! I keep telling myself that my son is ok with it- he is happy and my daughtar won't even realize anything. She has everything she needs- I don't need anymore stuff or I will have no place to put it. I look at other people rooms and these babies have soooo many extra clothes ect... I feel like I have enough of everything that she will need when she comes. They grow so fast that half of it will go to goodwill anyways by the time she is 3 months. I keep telling myself that as long as she is taken care of none of this matters and she will be! I will be so happy when the day comes that we can finally have our own house again. The kids can have their own rooms, I can decorate them the way they want them and everything won't be so crammed..... I'm sorry that I am just blabbing on but I have to to make myself feel better. I wish things could be different right now but at the same time I know it could be a lot worse. I'll end with that.

Dont worry...our little girl is going to have to share a bedroom with our 2 year old son. We live in a 2 bedroom trailer...I also hate the fact that I can't paint and decorate the room how I want to for a little girl....It has to stay off white with kind of ugly flower border. We are hoping to get a bigger place soon, but I just don't know with money...We are doing what we can, and luckily I don't really have to buy anything, except girls clothes. The crib is still up from our son...and the bedding is teddy bear so its neutral...I have been buying a lot from good will and so has my sister when she is there...there is nothing wrong with good will....The stuff is cheap and they grow out of it so quick, i can't see spending a lot on their clothes!!! Things will be ok...you are doing great for your kids!!

Aww don't worry about the room hun! Our little man will be sharing a room with our 11 year old daughter...We have a 3 bedroom house but my 13 year old son will be in the other bedroom. We put all of our little man's stuff at one end of the room, his crib and chest of drawers....The changing table/dresser is in our room as hubby wants baby in the room with us for a bit. Have you tried seeing if there is a local freecycle group in your area? You can go to www.freecycle.org
Everything on there is free....it is local people posting items they are giving away and you can post items you are looking for. They can also tell you if they have a loca virtual yardsale group.....they are both yahoo groups...I was worried about not having enough clothes but a lady had posted 2 huge trashbag full of 0-12 month clothes for 20 dollars! I went through and took out all the baby stuff and all of it was in awesome condition....The rest I put on freecycle....When we were pregnant last time I had received a bassinet on freecycle and after we lost the baby I put it back on freecycle....2 years later I requested one for a soldier of mine and wouldn't you know it, I got the original bassinet back.....You can get anything on freecycle.....
