Nesting!!
So, it would appear that I've begun nesting. This afternoon I scrubbed the kitchen sink, cleaned off the counters (which had become quite cluttered lately), cleaned off the bakers rack, swept the kitchen floor, cleaned off the top of the dog's cage (which, again, had become really cluttered lately), and dusted the tv.
I then crashed on the couch and took a nap.
Now I'm up again, and I think I'm going to work on my computer desk, and the piles of books that are just lying around the living room. I still have a pile of Christmas books out!
I can only work in spurts, but I am determined to get this house in order before baby comes!
And speaking of baby, all is going very well. I go to the doctor this week for my 34 week check-up. We're getting close!!! The past two weekends were devoted to switching the kids rooms and getting them painted. The twins had the bigger room, but since they now have bunk-beds, they don't need as much space. So, they swapped with Sarah. Since her room was painted in "girly" colors, we had to repaint. Now the twins room is painted blue with red trim (both of their favorite colors), and Sarah's is light pink with dark pink trim. I lovingly call it the Pepto-Pink
room.
I took before pictures, but I haven't done the after ones yet because Sarah's closet door needs to be put up, and there are piles of books all over, and boxes all around, and the closets still need to be switched over. I'm hoping that we get that stuff done this weekend. Then we'll be getting a second dresser for baby Regina, and I can start getting her stuff set up. So maybe I'll have some bedroom pictures after this weekend. I think the rooms came out great. Rob and his father did an excellent job with the painting, and of course I have to give props to my Mother-in-law, because she spent several days cleaning the kids rooms to get them ready to be painted and switched.
Ok, I'm off to continue my nesting, before I get too tired to do any more cleaning!
