Nesting?

It's hard to tell when "nesting" really kicks in for me. I feel like I'm in a continual state of it. However, I think the past two weeks might prove as a case that the nesting has truly kicked in. Here are the signs:

Sign #1: I'm doing a "Seven Challenge" in which I'm giving away seven things a day for 30 days. Sounds crazy but I'm excited about it. We have so much stuff we don't need or use and I like the idea of giving it to someone who could use it.

Sign #2: I'm itching to have enough time to transform these clip on earrings (that were once my grandmas) into hair clips. I think Anthro might pick up my finished product if they turn out like I want to.



 

Sign Three: I reupholstered these stools. The picture below is the BEFORE picture. You'll have to follow along on Thriving Home to see the finished product in the next week or two.



Sign #4: Speaking of Thriving Home, I revamped our side bar on it and got three posts written yesterday. Yes, nesting can manifest in the form of blogging.

Sign #5: I've got Baby 2.0's crib set up with sheets and all. Ya ya, I know I'm still 3 months away from my due date but I am also well aware that my body won't want to do much but sit those last 6 weeks. Adelyn loves to be in his crib and bounce around.



Sign #6: I transformed a dresser into a changing table. Again, check out Thriving Home this coming Wednesday to get the full story. It's orange and I'm trying to like it. Heaven knows I'm not painting it again any time soon!



Sign #7: I've started working on some boy decor for the nursery. It's still in the works but the project has begun!



 

Sign #8: I've already organized a group of pregnant mamas to do a freezer meal exchange in mid-March. I have 5 friends who are all due within 6 weeks of each other so we figured we could each make 5 of the same meal and then exchange them all. I'm excited to get my freezer stocked with meals. I don't want to neglect the health of this little gal when Baby 2.0 comes along!



 

OK, so I think it's obvious. I'm officially nesting and not just in normal go-go-go mode.

I'm growing more and more excited about Baby 2.0. We think we have a name but I'm not 100% committed so we aren't going too public with it quite yet. If you ask me though, I'll probably tell you.

This boy is more of a kicker than Adelyn was. I remember having days where I'd get worried that Adelyn hadn't moved much. I have yet to have one day of wondering if this boy is ok in there. He, like his older sister, seem to have an affinity for my right rib cage. He also is wreaking havoc on Mama's lower back.

I shouldn't complain though. So far this pregnancy has been uneventful and a bit forgettable- which is a good thing! I love all the kicks and movement and I love looking at little boy stuff.

I'm a little worried about how Adelyn is going to handle the new addition. She grows pretty jealous when I hold another baby. Heck, she even gets jealous when I'm hugging or snuggling with Austin. I fully anticipate a few tough weeks as we adjust. Hopefully she'll embrace the role of an older sister love up on little brother.

Well, Baby 2.0 is telling me it's that time of night... time for ice cream that is.
