New purchases for the house

Monday was also an exciting day for us. I took Isaac out by myself for the first time--it really was a great feat for me. I had a doctor's appointment to make sure my incision was healing well, and I took Isaac with me. His sleep schedule was pretty off, and then when he did wake up, eat and go back to sleep, it left little time for me to get ready. I still had to get the diaper bag ready and load up the car and load Isaac up in his car seat, needless to say, I was planning on rescheduling my doctor's appointment. But, I figured I could make it if I just hurried. (My mom went to lunch with her mom, I wasn't ready so I didn't go with them...I was planning on meeting up with them, but my mom thought she was taking me to the doctor...miscommunication obviously took place. She was worried about me driving and carrying the car seat too soon that I would hurt myself or cause the recovery to slow down.) Anyway, we made it to the doctor just fine, a little late, but in time. I didn't even think about how driving would affect my incision--I just took pain medicine as a precaution and was fine--come to find out you shouldn't take pain medicine and drive at the same time...oops! I didn't notice any difference though.



After the doctor appointment, which Isaac continue to sleep through, I ran some errands with my mom. Yes, my mom is still here and I love it. I am actually not looking forward to having her leave this Thursday. She has been such a huge help and it has been so fun to have her here. I am not looking forward to how quiet my days will be knowing she is not here anymore. But we ran to one of my favorite stores--Bed, Bath and Beyond--and got some great rugs for our house! This is something Taylor and I have been wanting to get for quite some time, so this was a very exciting buy for us!!





And, we got one for under the kitchen table too.

Now, this doesn't have anything to do with the area rugs, but it is definitely one of my favorite things about our house! My sister in law Heather gave this to me as a gift for graduation...it's a quote that we picked and were able to customize according to our space needs. Once we had it custom made it was mailed to us and then we put it on the wall...it's basically a sticker. I just love how it turned out and how it looks. It is absolutely perfect!! It says, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15." Thanks again Heather! :-)

Hummm...I think the saddest day of my post-partuming was when my mother left. I cried and cried...and just held Quintin in my arms wondering what I was going to do without my mother. If you need someone to talk to Thursday just give me a call!

Your house is so cute! Good luck when your mom leaves--I'm sure it will be an adjustment, but I'm sure you will do great.

So what are the odds of getting you out to Maryland to decorate for me? Cause I'm going to need all the help I can get.
