Down but Not Out

Over the last 3 weeks I've suffered from my very first sinus infection.  It's been amazing.  My body is still trying to recover from me blowing my nose every 2.5 seconds.  I was convinced I was going to blow this baby out if I didn't get over it soon.  C kept asking me why I had to blow my nose so much and that it was annoying her.  I told her to get over it because I was more annoyed than her.

Week 2 was my worst week.  It was so bad, I had to retreat to my parent's house while Brent worked so they could entertain C and I slowly died on their couch.

And even though I felt like crap, I couldn't slow down.  I had several projects for Poppy Lane to get done for the holiday season.  I just HAD to make a baby book and it HAD to be done in like 2 days.  And I HAD to get things done in the nursery.  In hindsight I probably should have rested more but how was I supposed to rest with all those important projects that HAD TO BE DONE THIS VERY MOMENT?  I swear I'm my own worst enemy.

In other non-snot related news, Nov 14 was a HUGE day in our house.  C had successfully slept in her own bed all night for 10 nights straight.  Brent and I had finally had enough sleepless nights and the bed was getting too small for all 3 of us plus my large belly.  C had to go.  I told her that if she slept in her 10 nights, I would get her a surprise.  I was thinking something small but her daddy, being the giving man he is, told her she could have the poop-a-charm baby she has been begging for.  

One happy little girl!

She almost had to start over on night 9 but I reminded her of the poop-a-charm baby and she turned right around and went back to her bed.  She has been there ever since and everyone in the Miller house is happy.

This past weekend, we had a surprise visit from C's cousins.  They came in town for my baby sprinkle and C was thrilled!

She got to go swimming at their hotel and then had a sleepover.  She had a hard time accepting they had to go back home.  Brent and I just aren't as much fun as her cousins.

And speaking of baby sprinkle, my friends Jaclyn and Jennifer hosted the cutest little baby sprinkle for our little guy.  It was baseball themed which was fitting for us since my husband's life has always revolved around baseball.  I loved every little detail.

It was such a great day celebrating with close friends and family.  We were showered with lots of necessities and special little gifts and C even got several little 'congrats on being a big sister' gifts.  I thought it was so sweet of people to remember her.

We are in our final weeks of being a family of 3 and we couldn't be more excited to become a family of 4!  I think I'm more ready than anyone.  #sooverthispregnancy
