Weekly Wishes #12

Filed Under: Family Tagged With: Weekly Wishes

Well we found out some news last week that will be making my weekly wishes change over all. See the photo below…

2014-03-22_0001

Now that I won’t be trying to lose weight, I will be trying to not gain too much this pregnancy. This pregnancy was not planned at all. I wanted to lose quite a bit of weight before getting pregnant.

Last Week’s Wishes

  1. Make it to the gym twice if I am feeling up to it. Did not happen at all. I hope that when I am not so tired I can get back to the gym. Even though I will be going at a much slower pace.
  2. Finish blog posts that are due, and get them scheduled. I did finish a few blog posts. YAY! 
  3. Fill out and return some paperwork that needs to be done to get help for Carsyns’ expenses. Nope. Need to do this!
  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. I did get some of this done but I still have quite a bit left to do.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Really focus on my nutrition. I want to be healthy for my baby, and myself.
  2. That we have a good first appointment with my OB. Excited to see this little bean via ultrasound.
  3. Fill out and return some paperwork that needs to be done to get help for Carsyns’ expenses. Repeat from last week.
  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.

What are your goals for this week?

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. 🙌🏼
