Weekly Wishes #13

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Weekly Wishes

20140328_162133

Well I didn’t get the best news last week. Wasn’t terrible news though. When they did the ultrasound it was showing a 5-6 week womb instead of the 7-8 weeks I thought I should be.  Had some blood drawn on Friday to check my HCG levels and getting ready to have it checked again to make sure they doubled. I am praying that I am just not as far along as I thought.

Last Week’s Wishes

  1. Really focus on my nutrition. I want to be healthy for my baby, and myself. I was starving all week long, but I tried to make better choices. Ate a lot of fruits and veggies.
  2. That we have a good first appointment with my OB. Excited to see this little bean via ultrasound. Talked about this a little up top. We didn’t see a baby but we did see a sac and yolk. 
  3. Fill out and return some paperwork that needs to be done to get help for Carsyns’ expenses. Repeat from last week. Didn’t happen…
  4. Do the 40 bags in 40 days. Plus finish things around the house. We are going to go ahead and list our house with a realtor. Repeat from last week. Didn’t happen…

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. That my HCG levels have doubled and that we will see this little bean via ultrasound this week.
  2. Fill out and return some paperwork that needs to be done to get help for Carsyns’ expenses. Repeat from last week.
  3. Do the 40 bags in 40 days. Plus finish things around the house. We are going to go ahead and list our house with a realtor. Repeat from last week.

    I love that you are doing the 40 bags in 40 days! I came across it after I had already done most of the purging I wanted to do but I love the idea of it!

      Yes same thing happened to me. I think that is why I haven't been doing that good with it.

Plus, he researched for hours how to do ceramic coating so now the paint is protected and it should be easier to keep clean. The photo does not do it justice. It’s super slick and shiny.

I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant r I'm still in awe of how far my library and plant room have come. Every time I step inside, I feel so happy to see my shelves filling up and my collections growing. 🙌🏼

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
