Decisions

I'm a planner. I expect things to happen. I anticipate them. I plan for them. What gets really annoying with pregnancy, is that you have to wait. Specifically, waiting to find out what you're having. Now, this hasn't really bothered me much lately, but it's sort of becoming inconvenient in my mind. Like right now. Cooper's birthday is in just a few weeks, and Carter and I both are sort of at a loss as to what we should get him. The kid loves cars. Cars Cars Cars. We went to Toys R Us the other day to browse around and see if anything jumped out to him. Cars. Even battery operated, big ones. Well, those would be fun and all, but we don't have space for that kind of stuff. Garage would be necessary. Anyway, so after that trip I'm frustrated. Carter says a few days ago, "We should get him a Cars bed." You know what kind I'm talking about, those wooden ones in the shape of a car. The kid would love it. Now, I don't particularly think he's ready to be out of a crib, but I guess we wouldn't know until we tried. But, I know that I'd be the one dealing with the knocking on the door and crying to come out. Not ready for that right now. So that's issue number one. Issue number two is where I'm mostly bothered. Baby number 3 will be whatever sex it's going to be. Changes to rooms will need to be made. If it's a boy do I want to buy bunk beds right now and just keep one up for Cooper as a twin bed? If it's a girl, I think we'd probably definitely buy bunk beds. Savannah seems to like those, and although the baby wouldn't use it for quite some time, I'd rather have them now. Thinking ahead. Planning. So, do you see where I'm frustrated? Either way, boy or girl, it doesn't matter to me. I just want to have a plan of how we're going to re-organize this house to fit a 5th person. Even if somehow we finished our basement before the baby came, I couldn't stick any of them down there.

On another note, Carter and I both are really excited that Larissa is having a baby like 3 weeks after us. Give or take. That is SO close together! I can't help but think it would be so fun if they were the same sex, but then it could be cool to have one of each too. I guess we just have to wait and see.
