February So Far

Up until last Thursday I was so proud of myself for not having gotten sick yet, but then I finally did.  I felt awful on Thursday but couldn't take the day off because I was helping one of our newer employees with something that was due that day.  I probably could have just done that in the morning and taken the rest of the day, but I didn't. Then Friday I felt crappy again but for sure couldn't take that day off (I worked from home both days, though, so not infecting anyone else) because I was covering for someone on PTO.  Sigh.  By the time the weekend rolled around I was feeling a little bit better but still grateful to have those couple days to rest up.

Earlier in the week, before I got sick, I went to a Barre class with Olivia.  That was fun but really hard!  Well, for me anyway, as I'm not used to doing anything like that.  I walk a lot, and I'll do the occasional push-up or a few weights, but that's about it.  But I'm trying to change that.  We let Kayley have a gym membership instead of me for a while now, because I could never figure out when I'd go anyway, but now she has a membership at a different, cheaper gym so the plan is for me to take over her membership (I no longer need to cook dinner every night so I can actually find time to go).  Normally things like that aren't transferrable but Paul assures me this one is in this case, so we'll see.

This week my women's Bible study started back up and we're studying Isaiah.  I'm excited about that because it's such an important book and I really want to learn more about the Old Testament in general.


I'm so excited for the Olympics!  I'll be watching the opening ceremonies tonight.

Transfer Anniversary

Today is the 5-year anniversary of my embryo transfer!  5 years ago today I became pregnant with my girls (I wrote about it in more detail a few years ago).  It was a Saturday that year, also. Olivia and Kayley at 3 days post conception (wish I knew which one was which): And Olivia and Kayley 5 years later: That photo is actually a few weeks old.  I tried to take one for today and this is what I ended up with: {Sigh}

The Girls' Room

So it's kids' rooms this week at Kelly's Korner Home Tours.  Unfortunately, we haven't finished the girls' room make-over.  We recently transitioned from toddler beds to twins.  I would have loved to get bunk beds to save space, but the twin beds were given to us by friends of Paul's parents so we're making do.  They were wood-colored (oak, maybe?) so we painted them white.  It was challenging to figure out how to arrange their furniture because of the alcove/nook thingie on one side.  I couldn't do the obvious two beds perpedicular to the wall with a nightstand in between configuration, so I had to compromise. There are lots of finishing touches still to be done.  We need to replace their dresser, get a nightstand, put up a shelf (ledge) or two and some wall art, and curtains.  We're also going to paint.  I've had my heart set on purple for a long time, which is why I chose this bedding with some purple but not too much, but now...
