I have offically started nesting...
Yes.. Nesting.

Now I am extremely exhausted ugh... I had my mom over to help clean my unfinished basement that became my junk storage area. I completely revamped my living room.. scrubbed my carpet like mad, cleaned the couches and chairs.

Next is my dining room and kitchen.. fridge needs cleaned out big time and I'm waiting for my dishwasher to finish up before I do that.

After that is done I'm moving upstairs and doing my dressers and my closet to make room for newborn clothes. Washing baby sheets, clothes and the car seat.

I still have at least 4 more weeks to go and I'm just going stir crazy.

I just got a call from my neighbor and shes bringing me over some bread pudding mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..........

I'M POOPED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! nap time after everything is done!

3. I'm only 32 weeks so I hope not!!
A little too early for even me.. Had my other two at 36 weeks and perfectly fine.

Hes been moving a lot less the past couple days so you just might be right!

2. Mmm, now, if I were your significant other
at about this time I'd find the paint rollers and run down to the paint store and get some fresh paint for you, hee hee.

5. Why make him paint when you can have the fun for yourself?

You are making me smile remembering what it was like for our 3 kids, all grown up now (well, almost, except for the youngest). I am also thinking of my daughter who is due in January and just moved to Alaska with a brand new house she'll be moving into on August 1st. It's her first and I wonder if my son in law is ready for the nuttiness that is to come.

8. I know so many people due in January! I loved being pregnant
through the winter months - my son was due feb 14, had him jan 18. Being pregnant in the summer is horrible!!! I'm sweating in places I never knew you COULD lol.

I hope she has a good uneventful pregnancy!! Is this going to be your first grandchild? Congrats :)

As far as the paint... eehh.. I'd actually have to leave the house because of the smell.. That is the only thing that makes me sick this time around.

6. My house was never cleaner

7. I nested with my other 2 but not this bad...
Neighbor = my grandmother :) Shes my cooking inspiration! Only if she'd share the apple strudel she made this morning I'd be in heaven!!!!

I'd be scrubbing my bird cage today too but since I've been pregnant I havent touched the cage because of potential harmful bacteria. I'll have hub do that too ! Hes being such a good hubby..
