Progress

So....Today is Friday the 11th, and still things are not in order. However I am thrilled to report that PROGRESS IS BEING MADE! The crib and bassinet were put together on Wednesday, and today clothes have been washed and folded!This may seem like nothing to some, but I feel like a great deal has been accomplished.I've started to assemble the organizing cart, but seem to have misplaced the screwdriver :-/.Nonetheless, I feel confident that by Wednesday (that's when Dad comes back)everything will be in place.I'm still waiting on the "burst" of energy to kick in, because more often than not I find myself sleeping, sleeping, and more sleeping.Although that could be because I'm awakened every morning at about 4:30..that's when Miss Lailah gets the wiggles--til about 7am!!! I guess that's God's way of getting me ready for those middle of the night feedings. I don't want to sit for too long, there's more to be done in the room. And once night falls, which is in about 2 hours...I'll be done for the day!So here are some photos of the progress...

Yes, some progress has been made. Is the crib in the living room or Lailah's room.

The world will wind you up into a tight little ball if you let it. Don't let it.
Relax and enjoy the ever-changing flow of being alive. There's no point in working yourself into a frenzy about anything.

The more uptight you are, the more mistakes you make. Relax, stop taking everything so seriously, and you'll find that you're vastly more effective.

Put a big, authentic and friendly smile on your face. Put some delightful positive thoughts in your mind.

The worst that could happen will almost certainly not happen. And even if it does, you'll find a way to handle it.

Live with passion and purpose while letting go of the tension and anxiety. Relax and enjoy every moment as it comes, and you'll be giving the world your very best.

Love YA.

Well, the crib was assembled in the living room, but it is now in her room.

I knew that........

PROGRESS -- A movement toward a goal or to a further or higher stage. Advancement in general.
Growth or development; continuous improvement. Forward or onward movement!

Keep moving forward.......
