Procrastination

It's the last day of the month and I haven't blogged twice yet. I can relate this to visiting teaching. It seems like the end of the month always comes so quickly, and I am scrambling. (Which is why the 3 people I visit got something dropped off at their houses yesterday.)

I have often heard others refer to "nesting" while pregnant. I think this is starting to happen to me. Lately, I have been really into getting our house spic and span and ready. I feel EXTREMELY busy, but I think that is related to the fact that I just got back from an 8 day vacation to Spokane and our laundry/bills/chores are never-ending.

The first thing we recently did to our house is add curtains to our living room. Wow, if I had known what a difference this would make, I would have done it months ago. We put sheers up almost immediately, but now with curtains on-top of that it feels so homey and we actually have privacy. I don't see when someone is walking by on the trail outside. I have tried taking pictures, but most look tacky and cheap. In person, you'll see that they actually look quite elegant. (Well, as elegant as Walmart can get.)

While I was away on a girls' weekend, I left Andrew a long list of various paint jobs to do throughout the house. He spent several hours and applied numerous coats of paint, but we still have quite a ways to go. I'm thinking we'll do some painting this weekend... (He doesn't know that yet :)) 

Lately people have been asking me a lot how the nursery is coming and what furniture and baby accessories I have. This question has actually been a bit stressful to me because until this past week, we really had nothing. While in Spokane, my sister-n-laws threw me a surprise baby shower. I got SO many adorable little baby boy clothes and it made me so excited! At the shower, we made some onesies. Check them out below:

I thought of a great answer to "how is the nursery coming?" Black Friday deals! We decided to wait and see if any of the items we wanted went on sale and sure enough, our carseat and stroller did. We purchased them and got over $100 off. The carseat and stroller arrived yesterday and I was giddy and made us open them immediately. In fact, the stroller and carseat are still out in our living room cluttering up the space, but I love to look at them and imagine a little (let's be real.. big) baby boy in them. (I think my neat freak self will come out later this evening and put them away.)

I know we still have plenty of time to finish getting everything ready, but I can hardly wait! I wish we could fast forward time, but I'm sure it will be here soon enough. Here's to blogging before December 31st next month!
