It is Friday and I could not be more ready for a relaxing weekend with my little family. Things are going well for us- just have many small action items that need to be taken care of around the house over the next few weeks before Adrians arrival. Here is a sampling from my to do list just to give you a glimpse into my life and the nesting that is already beginning:
1) Finish the letters for her name
2) Hang said letter
3) Buy baby/dog gate
4) Clean out wine glass storage in kitchen for baby bottles - never thought I would say that but luckily we have bar storage
5) Finish washing bottles and baby clothes
6) Organize storage areas in her bathroom, closet and kitchen
7) Put together toys and pack n play
8) Buy photo albums for newly developed 300 pics
9) Have car seat tested
10) File all outstanding paperwork
11) Finish writing thank you notes
12) Plan out and publish maternity leave action plan for team at work
13) Clean out guest closet and my closet
14) Xmas shopping!
There are many more items but I wont bore you with the details. It is crazy thinking about all the things you could do to prepare for something as big as a child in your house. In a way I am excited to get all these things crossed off my list. It may seem like I have a lot left to do but I have been told that I am actually ahead of the game at least in some areas- such as, already have interviewed and signed up with our pediatrician, all baby classes have been taken and we even have her baptism somewhat planned and officially on the books for the church - March 19th by the way!
We just recently were sent our proofs from our Family photos that were taken 2 weeks ago. We wanted to capture our life as it is now so that way we could share them with Adrian and other kids that may follow as well as get some good belly pictures for our memories. We both think they turned out amazing and are going to have a difficult time choosing the ones to have printed. It is somewhat overwhelming to look at myself X amount of pounds heavier in these but I know that she is so worth it. If anything I will have some before and after pictures once I shed all this weight! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend and Happy Birthday to my wonderful mother-in-law Joy! Wish we were there to celebrate with you today. Love you!
