Nesting, is that what they call it?

Ok, so I am officially to the nesting stage. Every morning I wake up, and the first thing on my mind is; what should I organize, rearrange, set up, take down, move to the garage, bring in from the garage, paint, wash, or add to Brady's list. Brady has been just awesome helping me with funny things that I've been wanting done before this baby comes.


We painted our office wall. I know it's a little bit different, but I love it. I leave the door open just so every time I walk by the room I can see it. Brady found the idea on-line so we thought we'd try it out. I feel like it makes the room bigger.


Put up shelves in the garage. We made a trip to the Home Depot the other day with the intentions of purchasing some shelving for the garage. We get there and my brilliant husband starts doing the math and I see the little wheels in his head start turning and this my friends is what he built by the end of the day!!! They are fabulouse, less than half the price and way better than I had pictured. Once again Brady, you've amazed me.



We bought a vehicle, sold it, and bought another one. (We're crazy we know that) I really missed our Explorer when we sold it and got the hummer. And in my state getting in the thing was pretty entertaining along with the fact that it didn't have children locks on the doors. We kinda missed that minor (important) detail. So now we have a Jeep Commander and have absolutely loved it so far. I love driving it, it feels good!! Unlike the Hummer, a little too beefy.


Set up the baby's corner in Alyvia's room. After much deliberation we decided to set the crib up in Alyvia's room, and turn the other room into a play room. So far Alyvia's almost too excited to have the baby in her room. He'll be in our room for the first little while in a bassinet, but then he's all Alyvia's. Hope she's ready to change and feed him in the middle of the night. I'm grateful we picked prett versital colors for Alyvia's room that can be for either gender. That always helps. I officially feel like if we have this baby tommorrow we'll be set.

Oh, another bit of fun news. Our little boy will have three boy cousins born all this year. We think that's pretty exciting and can't wait to see what kind of mischief they'll find themselves in over the years. It's defenitely a year for boys in our family!!

I really like your office wall. It's very contemporary. I can't believe (actually I can) that Brady built those shelves! Those are awesome! Let me know if Alyvia learns how to feed and change a baby in the middle of the night. If she does, I want to teach Kayla too! ;)

I love your office wall, it looks great! Doesn't it feel so good to get those projects out of the way. I can't believe you are so close to welcoming that little guy into you're family, so excited for you!
