"Thank you mama"

She must have said it 3 or 4 times. Slowly DH & I have been showing E the progress of her big girl room. On Saturday, DH put the last coat of pink on the window and installed the light fixture. Sunday we put up the curtains and set up the bed with bedding. When she came in, she was thrilled and wanted to sleep in there right away. But our little doll was abliging to let her cousin Ben sleep in it for the night. My aunt Sharon and cousin Ben, along with uncle Kelson came up for the night. There's still a bit to do on the room. DH thought the head board was lost but we found it yesterday...so he needs to paint both the head and foot boards (and a few other little things). I didn't put the flower wallies up yet, or the cute Dollarama pink princess mirror, and other nicnacs. Plus we have to load her toys, clothes, etc., in there. Eventually, we'll buy/paint baseboard trim too.

In other news, my pregnancy is moving right along. I'm in my 3rd trimester and baby & I are doing great. 2 1/2 months to go! I'm getting E more used to the idea of the baby. I asked if it was okay to put the crib in her "old" room, and she said yes. We bought a few big sister books which she really likes. Her behaviour has GREATLY improved since our visit to CB. I think she'll get along fine now. I'm more confirmed about sending her to daycare part-time during Mat leave. Not sure if we can afford it but we certainly can for Dec. It's so good for her. After getting back from CB, she was looking very forward to being there. I looked into 1 private sitter that I know from CB (living nearby me) but she'll be full up when I'm going back to work. She's looking around for me to see if she knows anyone who has openings. I'll have to see how things go before I can commit to sending both to daycare next year. If I could pay off my student loan, we could do it. Here's hoping.

Well, best be going. Hope all is well.
