Things that made me SMILE yesterday....

My sister-in-law did a post on things that made her smile one day, and I thought that I should try to come up with a list like that every day. So, each day I have tried to mentally compose a list of highlights from my day. Here is my list from yesterday, nothing too special, just time for a blog update :P

1. Tyson woke up happy! Most mornings over the past couple weeks, Tyce has been waking up sad, calling for someone to come to the top of the stairs and bring him down (we don't.. we make him walk down..aren't we sweet). Yesterday, though, he skipped into our room and said, "Good Morning! Where is Daddy?" Daddy was in the shower, so Tyson walked into the bathroom to greet his dad. Nice way to start off the day.
2. Got my house cleaned before noon! (okay, minus the vacuuming and floors)
3. I chatted with my sister and some friends and got caught up on the Good news in Jacksonville/Paige, AZ. It's always nice to have someone to talk to when you are cleaning.
4. Tyson kept finding me all morning to give me a hug and say that his hug "means I missed you."
5. Tyson went down quickly for his nap so I could clean the floors, and still have a little nap time myself.
6. I got a Friends & Family Discount email from Gap. I am glad they still remember me.
7. I bought our Seven Peaks passes for the summer... It's not the beach, but at least it's water.
8. I STARTED HAVING CONTRACTIONS!!! I was so happy.. Greg thought it not so exciting. (He is working alone until Thursday, and said it would be difficult to reschedule 150 patients. Of course he'd do it if he needed too... ) Now, I realize that this could mean labor is still weeks away, but I HONESTLY could not remember what contractions felt like until yesterday. I really never experienced them with Tyson, especially at home. I had them every hour or so from 6 until midnight. Then just one biggy (more painful than the rest) around 4:30 am. I told Greg and my mom that I would be re cleaning my house tomorrow and redoing the floors... just kidding. But I am ready. Come on Baby Girl!
9. Due to the time change, the day seem to FLY by.
10. Enjoyed my clean house.

So I Finally took pictures of the "project". It is still not done, and yes, I know it looks VERY blue, but imagine a honey colored dresser, train table and bookshelf in there instead of the white stuff. And a few pictures on the wall might help too.

HERE is the UNPROJECTED nursery.

G said (which is clearly true) that she won't be sleeping in there for a couple months,

so maybe it will get done before she moves in...One can only hope.

Yes, I know she is a girl, and typically girls are showered in pink, but I got a screamin deal on that periwinkle floral bedding...so hopefully she is not picky :)
