Where do I fit in?

Babies are truely a miracle! And it's a good thing too cause with everything else that is going on right now this poor baby has been put on . . . well is it rude to say "the back burner". It is a good thing that it is so protected and safe on the inside at this point!!
Michael and I had started a remodel project on our house literally 1-2 weeks before dad had his siezures and it has been crazy around here! We are in the middle of having a room expanded, garage added on, deck put on the back and front porch extended. . . . we literally have not had a roof over our bathroom, office, or half of the living room for a week now. And did it mention it has been raining buckets! Nothing like feeling like you are "Oregon" camping in your own house!
Michael has been working around the clock between his real job and the house and I can't believe still has enough energy to come in at the end of the day and help clean up after dinner and put the kids to bed. It was our initial goal to have this project (at least the guestroom/office and downstairs bath) near completion before the baby came, but obvious things have altered our plan a bit.
There is just so much going on around here that I can't hardly even get myself to think about what the baby needs, or how I would like to decorate the nursery, or even to pick a baby name. . . Yep we have NO BABY NAME!!! The weirdest part is I am not stressed about it. I know as long as I can feed this baby and it has diapers and a place to sleep it will be just fine even with everything that is going on around us. It will be loved and cared for and what ever else we may think we need is just extra. Well, accept the name part! So we have just 2 weeks from today to D-Day, my highest hopes are to at least have a name picked out by then.

Ok, maybe I do look a little stressed. . . .
