Happy 5 months Mosey!

I can't believe Moses is turning 5 months tomorrow. I am dying to get an update on him. I want to know if he can roll over, or sit up, or if he has any teeth..... our caseworker should be getting back from Ethiopia sometime soon..... I hope this update is detailed!

In other news, Mike and I spent the weekend working... I painted the bathroom, and we together built the crib. This was an interesting experience. My husband is a journeymen and likes to treat me like his apprentice. Let's just say it can get interesting!!! Anyways, I will post pictures of the room soon. It doesn't look like much right now because they messed up the order and the mattress never came or the dresser. But I do love the crib and seeing it in his room feels much more real.

Even though we got a few big projects done this weekend I still feel stressed. It seems like the moment I check one thing off my to-do list I think of another five. I'm thinking that I may need to take a personal day from work to get things done. We still need to finish the closet organizer, paint the base boards, build the dresser, wash the clothes, talk to a travel agent, etc. etc. One thing that does feel good when you are insanely busy, is ordering things online. I HATE shopping so ordering in things that I need and picking it up at the post office is so satisfying. Last week I picked up some more stuff for our cloth diaper stash, an ergo carrier, and I just ordered a stroller thanks to my dad!

I keep telling myself that all Mosey really needs is us and formula and he will be just fine. But I would really like our house to at least look clean and be child-safe. In other words, we still have a lot of work to do.

By the way, does anyone know when I am supposed to apply for parental leave? I have issues with government websites and I can't seem to find this out.
