One of my new Favorites from Her

Florence and the Machine "Falling" by TheRealPiper101.

And I really like how the artist of this youtube video made this.... not your average mash up of artist pictures...

Hope you enjoy.

It also makes me want to run out and dye my hair red - grow another 6 inches and wear many many more ruffles.  Alas I am short with mousey brown/blond hair with a huge belly.  Maybe my in my next life I can be tall and at least be able to carry a tune.

As for today's plan/project.... IKEA.  For many of you this would be an exciting trip - but for me and my husband it tends to be a chore.  Not because it isn't full of fabulous inspiration - but they have this fabulous kid section that is hard to pull Emily away from... our strategy usually includes bribery in the form of Swedish Fish.

Then, to tire out the kid we might hit up a park on the way back and then to Menards to pick up some pipping - as in plumbers real metal pipping... and a few drop cloths... for a project I have in mind that might have something to do with the nursery.

Yeah, I think I have put that off for enough time now... we are now down to under 5 weeks... and no one seems to think I will make it in to July...

Oh, and of course my doctor is out of town from June 27th- July 5th... Found that out yesterday.  Fabulous.  Not that I am really worried about it - they really only show up for the last 5 minutes to catch the baby - but it did throw me off a little bit yesterday.  I think I might have even sulked a little bit.

I am not one of those girls who have a "birth plan" that is planned by the minute.  Mine kind of goes like this:

1.  Make sure husband is awake and can get to the hospital.
2.  Get to the ER.
3.  Find a bed.
4. Get drugs.
5. Hope the kid shows up and go with the flow.

In all honesty - it is not like I am in charge of my body, no I think this plays out the other way, it tells me what it wants to do or what it can't do.  And to be honest - I think being open to what ever can or will happen will help me avoid any disappointment.

Someday I will have to share the excitement/ridiculousness of Emily's arrival... but I am thinking you are a bit tired of the baby talk for now :)
Peace.
