The room is getting somewhere. We have almost two walls all wallpapered and ready for the border. Just two more walls to go. I wanted to do more tonight, but my mom was exhausted and rightfully so. Tomorrow afternoon we're going to finish it, I hope! I'd love to have the walls and ceiling completely done by this weekend so after that we can work on transitioning Alayna to a toddler bed and putting the crib up for Olivia. We also need all new furniture in her room. After the girls' room is done we have to re-carpet the entire living room and front hallway/stairs as well as get new furniture for the living room. The rug my grandmother had up here is over 40 years old and the ugliest green color you could ever imagine. I don't want my daughters walking around on a rug like that. It's not even soft anymore. :( The furniture we had to throw out because it was so old and we can't get our furniture upstairs because I am allergic to the cat hair that's on it. So we have to get a new couch and keep the cat off of it. How? I don't know. All we need is a sofa because we're keeping the piano. We're keeping the piano against my better judgement, but my mom says that pianos cost so much now a days that if Alayna or Olivia wanted to learn how to play the piano, we'd be shelling out a crazy amount of money for that. She's probably right. I just wish we had somewhere else to put it other than right in the middle of the very small living room. :(
We also need a new dining room table and I need to get this huge furniture out of my room because it overpowers the size of it. It fit better in my old bedroom downstairs, but this room is a little smaller because the shape is different. I really had more room downstairs and I hate this room. lol Why did I want to live up here so badly? I guess because it was just easier for my grandmother since she's bedridden and has to get to the doctors every other week. *sigh*
T his all has to be done before October 20th. LOL! My mom wants to have people over after my baby shower, which I don't think is possible at the rate we're going. I doubt we'll be done with the whole house by then. I moved up here last year and I still am living out of boxes. It's actually very terrible.
Tomorrow morning is my 3D ultrasound. I'm very excited and thankful that I got this as a gift, because I couldn't afford it on my own. I'm trying to save my money for things I need for the girls', and I wouldn't do this if I wasn't given it as a gift. :) I'm so hyped to see the basic idea of what Olivia is going to look like. Alayna's 3D ultrasound was amazing when I went two years ago. This time, I'm going to a different place with much better equiptment, hopefully Olivia is in the right position so we can get good pictures! Alayna is very excited about going tomorrow and seeing her baby sister.
Ugh. So much has to be done in this next week. Alayna's 2nd birthday party is on Saturdaty the 6th, and I have so much to do yet! I have to put the goodie bags together, get the final count of how many kids are going and how many adults are going I still have to go birthday shopping for her and I'm going to start my Christmas shopping soon. Who knows when Olivia will be born since she's due on Christmas, so Iw ant to have Alayna's presents bought and wrapped by mid November. Or maybe even before. I want to be prepared for the worst case scenario! Alayna was 5 weeks early, so I have to take into consideration that I am at risk for another early baby. So far, besides my failed Glucose Tolerance Test, everything is going well and I don't forsee any problems.
I really should get to sleep since I have to be up early to take my car into the shop. My mom swears that my breaks are bad, even though I know they aren't. I just got new breaks in JUNE. They can't be bad yet. She's so paranoid, but I'm taking my car in to make her happy. lol
