I can't wait until we have our own space. It's been so long since we've had somewhere we could actually call our own. Not that I mind being here at my Mum's but sometimes I miss having a closet to hang my clothes in & a bed to curl up on.I miss being able to do laundry on my own time & the privacy of doors. I'd give anything to have that again.
Hopefully Shaun can get this job situated so that we can start saving for an apartment. We've been living off of other people for too long. It's time we started taking care of ourselves. If we can get a place, we can finally start our lives together. Thankfully, with Delynn giving us all this furniture we won't have to get much together to make our space feel like a home. I'm honestly more excited to move than I've ever been, because I know that everything will be hanging for the best & our baby will be coming home to a real home. Something Shaun & I haven't had in a long time.

A Break
It would be so much easier if I had somebody hired to cater to my every need. Then I could relax all day with Shaun & my only worry would be keeping myself & the baby healthy. If I could live like that, I'd become incredibly lazy. In fact, with as restless as I've been the past few weeks, I don't think I could handle that. I like being progressive. I like getting things done & having a good reason to be proud of my achievements. I couldn't enjoy that if I were to sit on my arse all day.
Speaking of being progressive, I have actually gotten some laundry done today. Not only that, but I helped Shaun with the kitchen & I tidied both the living room & the library. A feat I usually wouldn't have the energy for. Despite the depression, the past couple days I've had a lot more motivation to get things done. It's probably due to the fact that we have wasted too much time. We'll be on the brink of homelessness again if we don't start working harder. Shaun absolutely has to find work, or by the time Mum has to move, we'll be out on the streets again unless by some miracle they can afford a slightly bigger house to accommodate us.
I don't know how on earth we're going to manage. All I know is that as long as we have each other, we'll be okay. We always are in the end. Wish us luck!

My Sister's Incredible Bedroom
Gifts from Grandma
These onesies are just so cute! Mum took me out yesterday after orientation for my GED to get something for the little Gremlin. Now we just have to pray that we're right about the gender, considering we don't find out until next week!
The doctor's appointment on Tuesday went well. We got to listen to the baby's heartbeat again, which is getting more distinct every time. I've been feeling him/or her move so much more lately too! It's getting stronger every day & half the time it's hard to concentrate with all that movement going on in there. I can't imagine what it'll be like once the baby is bigger!
Well, it's only one week until we find out if we're having an Ivy or a Liam. I know what we're hoping for, but either way... it's our baby & boy or girl, it'll get just as much love :D
