Less then 2 weeks to go!!!

So, I've been hoping that Kalena would make an early appearance, she still could but as the days pass and I still feel the same that I felt weeks ago, it just reinforces my thinking that she's gonna stay put till the last possible moment. It's almost like she knows how much more uncomfortable her life could be outside and so she's baskin in her warm cocoon. :) Great for me right? I'm still working full time, but my bosses told me anytime I wanna stop I can. But I was off yesterday and today and to tell you the truth, it was kinda boring being by myself... That's why I made BJ play hookey today... ;) hehe... Well, not really, but I didn't push him to go to work... Last week he almost caved and bought another kitten. I had to be the mean one and remind him that in a few weeks he'd have a baby and nothing, not even me(sigh), would take his attention away from her. But, still it was a cute kitty. Maybe after the baby is born, but I doubt it. Anywho, hope you all had a great Christmas... love you!!!

Kalena's Room

(Please be advised that sometimes this blog doesnt show in it's entirety. If you don't see the picture of a dresser with two pics of my mom above it, then click on the heading of the blog to open it up completely.-postmaster... hehe... that'd be me.)
So, I know it's not very artistic, but since we don't plan to be in this apartment forever, I didn't want to waste my time painting any murals or doing anything super cute that I'd have to 'erase' before we moved out. It's a simple room, but what I love best about it is everything inside it. I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and family cause the grand total I spent for the baby, so far, is... wait for it.... wait for it.... $85!!! Yup!!! How blessed am I! :) Everything else was a gift, hand me down, or I was given gift cards and cash. It's kinda daunting, getting ready for a baby when you don't have any money. The Lord and Mom and Dad are watching out for me. I've less then 5 weeks and since I've been given three different due dates, I'm hoping the baby comes on the soonest one, Jan. 2, which is not the current one, Jan. 11th. Annie says not to get my hopes up, but come on... 4.5 more weeks of this????!!!! Please, no! Ok, I still have some more straightening to do in the baby's room, so I better go... love to you all!




I hate this picture of me, but of course my mom looks great, luckily it's too small for you all to see just how bad(fat &white) I look here... haha. Since Kalena is Karen in Hawaiian, it only made sense to have some pictures up of mom...

I just took the car seat out of the box and 'assembled' it. My bassinet I got as a gift from my step sis Cyndi, which Manapua is climbing out of... and my crib.

My rad changing table that I got in combination with my crib(see above) for only $85!! You gotta love the classifieds! :)

These are just Kalena's nice clothes, 0-3 months only. Hanging to the left you can see some more, but those are all pj's and the rest are in her dresser. She's gonna love clothes, just like her Mama!

So, I found this dresser on the side of the road, but it was a pukey pink, so I made it this cute dresser you see here.

Wasn't my mom gorgeous? I hope Kalena inherits her genes... :)
