It's just a little too early for anyone to be awake at this hour. I guess my body is preparing me for those late night/early morning calls from a newborn. We, in the Mangum household, are awaiting the arrival of this little one within the next month. We're all a little anxious, but very excited nonetheless. I can honestly say that not finding out the sex of Baby Mangum hasn't been nearly as difficult as I first thought. We're excited to dress things up a little more upon baby's arrival to match its' gender, but I think we're just excited to have a healthy baby join our family more than anything.

We've been BUSY! Maybe too busy at times. I think we're ready for this baby, but then again we still have a lot to do. The project list keeps growing rather than shrinking. I still have a good bit of energy so we're hoping to tackle a majority of the little things within the next couple of weeks.

On the forefront:

  • Pull up carpet in Dakota's room/install new flooring
  • Brent to finish his summer semester at LSU
  • Brent begins teaching/work again at Catholic High on MONDAY (8/3)
  • Put together baby crib (Yes, I know we still haven't done this.)
  • Buy a new washer (our 13-month old GE washer has a faulty motor and the warranty just expired)
  • Host a party for a friend getting married in 1-week
  • Still need a vacuum because ours broke and I'm tired of sweeping
  • Pressure wash house
  • Paint porch area
  • Dakota enters KINDERGARTEN
  • Go into LABOR!
  • LSU FOOTBALL BEGINS!!!!

I know I forgot several things, but you should get the point.

I may try and go back to sleep now. Thanks blogspot for allowing me to bother you at such an unreasonable hour. Night Night!

I was up every night from 3am to 5:30 when I was pregnant. What is it with 3am? I hope making that to do list helped lift it from your mind and you were able to go back to sleep peacefully.

I was up a lot too during both of my pregnancies. I was a lot like you, my mind would race with the things I needed to do. LOL It must be those crazy hormones. =c) I am so excited to hear that you guys didn't find out the gender! I did that with Kaia, and it was so much more fun! Honestly, the day of delivery was soooo exciting because everyone was wondering who was in there. I am happy for you guys and hope that all goes well. In the mean time, take care and try to get some sleep! =c)
