Anouk<\/a>, which is done, and of the new project I’ve started. That would be something to blog about. One thing I have to say about being home is that I really have been getting lots of stuff done. It’s just that there’s only so much TV watching and book-on-tape listening that I can stand in one day, and that threshold seems to get shorter every day. I’m starting to worry that I’ll go nuts doing the stay-at-home-mom thing, but then I remind myself that at least I’ll have the baby to talk to and play with. The dogs are really mostly into sleeping all day. Plus, if I talk to them too much, I’m worried that they’ll start talking back. And if I could actually do some chores, like laundry or vacuuming, that would be something, too. (Amazing how much I hated doing those things before, and now I’m really wishing I could do them!) Oh, and I’ll be able to leave the house, too! Just in time to start working on Christmas shopping…<\/p>\nThe nursery is getting there. I finally decided to go ahead and stick with the lavender and green, and now “all” that’s left is to do the trim and closet doors in white. (Two windows and two door frames, plus all the baseboard, is still a lot!) Denis will also get to play with his electrical engineering degree by wiring a ceiling light\/fan into the room. We have no ceiling lights in any of the bedrooms, so this is not a small task.<\/p>\n
Oh, and after my doctor’s appointment yesterday we stopped at Starbucks. Did you know that they have a pumpkin spice latté? I didn’t until yesterday! Actually, it’s probably a good thing that I’m stuck home – there are way too many “seasonal treats” that I’d get a lot more often if I wasn’t… Between the pumpkin ice cream at Papa Jack’s and the caramel apple cider and pumpkin spice lattés at Starbucks, I’d be in big trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
My life seems so boring right now. Tomorrow will be officially 4 weeks home on bedrest. It really doesn’t make for interesting blog material… Of course, I could make an effort to actually take pictures of Anouk, which is done,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-general"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/100\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
