Nesting Made Me Do It

Nesting has begun! I went to Greenville last weekend for a birthday party for Lilly's BFF. I made a pit stop at our house to get all of Lilly's baby stuff from the attic  (car seat, bath tub, rock-n-play, etc). It felt really good to have that stuff with me, but when I got home to Sanford I could not unpack any of it because I didn't know where to put any of it! So it's still in the back of my car... But at least it's here. 

I went through Lilly's baby clothes and washed/organized and then I realized I had nowhere to put them... so we went to walmart yesterday and got one of those 3-drawer plastic bins. Now Madelyn's clothes are nicely folded and put away (and they smell sooooo babylicious!!!). Now I just need to get the pack-n-play cleaned and set up and then I might be ready to get the other stuff out from the back of my car. I've been getting very fixated on certain things lately and if I don't get it done then I feel stressed out. I've been struggling with the fact that I'm not able to decorate a nursery for this baby. In reality, I know that Madelyn will never remember that she didn't have a nursery and that it's not a big deal... But part of me still wants to do all of that fun baby stuff. It will just have to wait until we have our own place! All a baby really needs is love, and she will have plenty of that! 

Other than my crazy nesting mood, everything else is going good. Lilly had a wonderful birthday party and Easter. She has grown so much this past year. She is very much into doing everything on her on (getting dressed, putting shoes on, going potty, getting in her car seat). This is SO helpful to me right now. The only thing she does not like doing is sleeping by herself. That will be fun once the baby is here! She talks about how Maddie Lou is her best friend and it just melts my heart. 

I passed my 3 hour glucose test (hallelujah) and the midwife said there was no reason why I wouldn't make it to full term. My anxiety from all of that has pretty much gone away. Madelyn is a very active baby and I love feeling her move. I survived a field trip last week to the life and science museum but boy was I exhausted after that. 8:00 is my bedtime and it's hard to function the next day if I go to bed any later. I really miss coffee (caffeine makes me feel funny), turkey sandwiches, and sushi. I really love milk, cereal, and potatoes. I find myself drinking milk out of the carton at 3 am. I could easily eat 2 or 3 bowls of cereal a day. I go to the doctor on Wednesday and I'm 100% sure that I've passed my max weight that I gained with Lilly but I could literally care less about that. I'm still in the healthy range of weight gain even though my feet are screaming at me by the end of the day. Pregnancy has been a lot harder this time around but I am so excited to meet this little girl. 8 1/2 weeks to go! Unless she comes two weeks early like her sister did.. Then it's more like 6 1/2 weeks left... uh oh... I see another day of organizing in my future! :)
