Today was Violet and my baby shower. I slept SO well last night which resulted in me having a hard time peeling myself from the sheets early this morning. I haven't slept well in a few weeks and just didn't want it to end. But I did it. I got up, ate some breakfast and got ready for the day. I even had lunch half way ready for Cristian by the time he came home for his lunch break.
I was kind of anxious about the shower. I'm not really into being the center of attention for anything (I struggled with this at my bridal shower to) but things went better than expected and we recieved some really adorable things. The food was delicious and the turn out was decent. It was nice to see everyone and to talk with someone (Maria) about the upcoming weeks ahead of me. 3 1/2 weeks to go, which really means she could come anytime. The sooner, the better is what I'm feeling. So ready to get some of this weight off my frame and get to know my little girl. I'm so curious about what she'll look like and what her personality will be like. I almost have everything in place- need to go and pick up the crib and maybe stock up on a few things. I can take getting a nursing gown off my list since mum bought me one (really nice of her) and I got a gift card to Motherhood which is probably going to go towards a nursing bra :D
Cristian got to miss out on all the fun today because of work-really wish he could have been here with me, he would have LOVED it. But he'll see all those things later tonight.
Watching Maria run around with her babies today made me so excited.
Oh, and some other good news. I think I've finally convinced Cristian that coming up with some kind of budget system is a good idea. I'm not sure why he's so repelled by the idea of managing money (especially since he's the only one working right now) but... we're gonna have to get him over that if we're ever going to achieve any kind of financial security or zero debt. I'm going to try a few things and we'll see how each system turns out. It's gonna be trial and error for awhile.
This next month we'll be able to check off 2 more things that have been keeping us tight in the money area. To have to shop debt paid off, and not have to worry about this other thing with Cristian it will be some extra money to work with. And it will (personally) be a huge lift off my shoulders.
We don't know how much things are going to cost for Violet. Big changes coming up and I'd like us to be as secure as we can be for our current situation.
The shower wore me out and Cristian gets off at 630-better get a quick nap in.
