35 Weeks and Counting...

Or maybe I should say, "34 Days Left" although that strikes a bit of fear in me. Overall, I feel good (other than the being completely exhausted by the end of each day). Our little guy is constantly moving around which is fun to feel and often gives me a needed reality check, as I have been feeling a bit consumed with all of the "to-do's" which continue to pile up each day. I am not sure if I should blame this is on "nesting" tendencies or perhaps my husband's love to always do things at the last minute. My guess is both.

We have been busy converting our office/den/catch-all room to baby boy's room (and yes, we still don't have a name. Hopefully we will do a bit better on this round and he won't need to wait until day 3 before a name is chosen although no promises!) Over the past month, we built a desk in the upstairs hallway, managed to clean out/box up the contents of the room, moved out all the furniture and started the process of putting up wainscoting.

As I usually do, I forgot to take the "before" pictures of the room but here are some current pictures of our work in progress:




In addition to preparing baby's room, we have been researching/touring preschools for Abi. It is hard to believe that we are already at this stage but she is very excited about the idea of going to school. Although I feel like I say this at every age, this is a really fun time as her imagination is starting to come to life. She is constantly making Josh and I laugh at the things she says and does.
Here is a recent picture of Abi pretending to be a robot. It is funny until she starts running into furniture -

The room looks awesome! And, please, if you need a day to get stuff done, please drop Abi off... the girls love to play with her and I know the feeling of needing/wanting to get everything done before the little one comes!
