To Peek or Not To Peek, That is the Question

Let me start off by telling you something that annoys me terribly.  I cannot tell you how many times I have had this conversation with people:

Them: "when are you due?"

Me: "The beginning of July."

Them: "Do you know what you're having?"

Me: "Nope."

Them: "Are you going to find out?"

Me:  "Are you stupid?  I have gone this long without finding out and I have just about six weeks left.  Why in the world would I find out now?"

Actually that last part only happens in my head, but I wish I could say it out loud!

Anytime someone finds out I don't know I get one of two reactions.  It's either, "Oh, I couldn't do that.  I have to know."  Or "Good for you!"  I have been pleasantly surprised at how many think it's great.  

So today I decided to check out the clothing situation in case we have a boy.  There are 12 bins of clothing out in storage and just 1 of them is marked "Baby Boy."  It's  a small collection (about half of a storage bin) of clothing and receiving blankets I collected when I was pregnant with Kimber, just in case.  

I realized it's a sad collection of pajamas that are too big and that I don't even have something I can bring a boy home from the hospital in.  When I get to the Valley I'll buy an outfit or two just to get us home.  I figure that after that I won't be leaving the house much for a while so there is plenty of time for Internet shopping.

I also pulled out the bin of girl's newborn clothing and let the girls pick out an outfit we could bring a sister home in.  Since it will be July and they were both born in the winter, I didn't have lots to choose from but they settled for a little onesie with a ladybug on it.

Addie wants a brother more than anything and Kimber wants a little sister.  Jared and I both agree that we don't care either way.  And that's the truth.  Jared thinks he has an idea of what it is, but just in case he's wrong, I'm going to keep that to myself.  As for me, I can honestly say that I will be surprised either way.  I have no premonition or feeling about one or the other.  Happy and healthy, that's all I'm asking for.

Saw this video this morning



And thought of this photo of my sweet Grandma.

Finished!

I actually finished the table on Saturday, but I have been without my computer since right after my last post.  We got some nasty malware that literally took over my entire computer.  It was vicious.  But, after much stress and many headaches I (no thanks to HP or Microsoft.  I swear my next computer is going to be a Mac!  No joke!) I did a complete recovery on my computer and we're back in business.

So, back to the table.  I went red!  (Please pardon the dust.

And just to tease you, I worked this little number over today.  A little something I bought at a garage sale a while back.  Once I get it hung and find the right knick-knacks, I'll show you the finished product.

I've got the itch!

Since the weather is warming up, I have been dying to get outside and do a project.  I keep thinking that the wind will stop for a day or two so that I can get outside and do something and today it finally did! 

We got new furniture this week so I decided that my coffee table was the perfect project. My plan is to give it to a friend of mine but if it doesn't end up the way I want, then no worries!  I can junk it!


Before Jared took off the top layer for me and I ran the sander over it, it was pitted and let's just say well used. 

Currently it looks like this-

 If the weather stays nice over the next few days it will be complete!  And this will be one happy girl.
