Quick Quotes

Josie to me in bed the other night:
"Awww mommy. You are so cute. You are my best friend. I'm going to keep you forever."

Josie to Louie and I the other night over dinner:
"I can't eat anymore of my dinner. My tummy is all full. I think I need some more of that Halloween candy."
Me: "If your belly is all full and you can't fit in anymore dinner, then you can't fit in any candy either."
Josie (looking at her belly): "Actually, my belly is loose. Can I have some candy now?"
(And do you think we could actually tell her no?!)

Josie, still insisting that the baby will be fine sleeping in her bed despite the fact that we told her babies wake up very often to get milk in the middle of the night:
"I have plenty of milk in my boo-boos mom so Roly Poly will be just fine!"

Ch-ch-ch-ch changes

Big changes are coming to the Schneider house. I think I'm starting to get used to the idea that I'm actually having a baby. (Just yesterday a woman asked me when my baby was due & my first thought was - "Oh, you can tell I'm pregnant? This early?" And then I remembered I was 25 weeks.)

In typical Schneider-family fashion, we've taken on way too much at once. So, we have a house full of painters, a piece of furniture being built for the entry, our dining room table on Craigslist, oh and and we're actively hunting for a full dining room set to replace said table since we're hosting Thanksgiving next week.

Add to that the big deadline I have for tomorrow at work, the fact that Josie and I are still coughing two weeks after initially getting sick, oh - and bedrest - and needless to say, things are bananas around here. Oddly enough, it's an exciting and not stressful kind of bananas so we're holding up just fine.

Goodness gracious - I forgot to mention we're having some trees removed this weekend.

I will definitely post before & after pics of the paint job. So far, it's an unbelievably improvement!!!!!
