Nostalgia

I have been up since 1am because baby D is giving Mommy some indigestion, and feels its time to play.  Then, at 3:45am Kyle came in because he has peed the bed.  So after changing him, and changing his sheets.  Getting it all in the wash, folding a load of laundry you would think I would go back to bed.  But my bed is full and I can't seem to sleep so I am hanging out in my living room sitting on the floor flipping through the channels.

We purchased new couches for our living room and they will be here tomorrow. It may be a contributing factor to my insomnia.  I am so excited! The furniture is so comfortable! Unfortunately our color options were somewhat limited so I am anxious to see how they are going to look in the room. I am praying I love them!  Because its not a color I would normally go for, and they are ours for a while =)

As I am sitting in my empty living room I can't help but remember when we first bought this home.  I sat in this very room, on the floor after a full day of scrubbing and cleaning, and family helping us paint rooms.  I sat in this house all by myself covering the shelves in the bathroom with contact paper, anxious for the next morning when our couches would arrive.  I really just wanted to spend the night, but promised Jason I wouldn't as he wanted to spend our first night in our new home together.  I went to my mothers late and after trying to sleep for a few hours I folded some laundry, loaded up my car and headed back here.  Unfortunately I got pulled over along the way, but got off with just a warning =)  It was a good thing I came here early because the furniture came at 7am!

Regardless I am sitting in this couchless room again, looking around me now at how much our home has grown, changed, and filled with love.  I have pictures of my children on the wall, and have a third baby kicking away letting me know he will be here soon enough.  There are kids toys where there was once open space, and new scratches in the floors that reflect the life that is being lived in this home.  We have come so far, and grown so much.  I am so blessed.  I never would have guessed 6 years ago that this home would be as amazing to me as it is in this moment. Or that 1+1 would =5.
