Let the Nesting Begin!

Well, I had pictures for this post, but my camera, camera cord, and computer are not cooperating with me and I don't have enough patience to figure it out today. Things have been busy around our house. Jason, Andrew, and I have been on a cleaning frenzy! Last weekend we cleaned out the garage, moved all the furniture out of the baby's room, moved the mattress to our upstairs guest room, and got out all of Andrew's baby stuff. Andrew was so interested in all that was going on. He points to things and says "bobby" that's how he pronounces baby. It's really funny! He also is pointing to my tummy and saying "bobby"....the only problem is he says that about his tummy and Jason's tummy! I just hope he doesn't start saying that to everyone! This weekend, since it's a long weekend, I have big expectations for us! We're going to get three closets cleaned out, the upstairs guest room fixed up again, and get the entire house cleaned up. Who knows what else we may do! Jason loves to have a project so all this "nesting" is right up his alley and Andrew loves to help clean and mess with everything we get out, so it's a win-win for all of us!

On another note, I found out from a friend that the Rhea Lana's consignment sale lets pregnant women come in a day early to shop. I thought this sounded like a great idea! I didn't find out until about 6:00 when I could go, so I printed my coupon, bathed the boy, loaded the stroller, grabbed Jason and we headed to the Hammon's Center. The line was sooo long. Little did I know, the pregnant women didn't have to wait in the line. Once I got to the ticket lady she said "Oh, you didn't have to wait in that line. You could have just come on in." I'm thinking, why say this in front of my impatient husband? We got in there and it was like an explosion of baby clothes! I barely made it through one section of clothes. I just stuck to the 0-6 mos. section. I ended up with several footed sleepers and a couple of cute outfits. (I had pictures, but my computer is being uncooperative). I also bought a couple of headbands and bows (these were not used bows or headbands, because I'm kind of particular about that..you know, headlice..) The 40 minute wait to checkout was the worst part, but it was worth it. I have decided that I am going to consign Andrew's stuff next time they are in town and probably baby girl's stuff too. I've heard people make really good money doing this with their clothes. They also take toys, strollers, pack and plays, etc. I think it's really easy to do. I'm going to check the website and see what I can find out about doing it.

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday and I have gained 11 pounds this month. I couldn't believe it either! I knew I had gained weight, but I wasn't sure how much. What's funny is I am already bigger then I was with Andrew! Her heartbeat sounds great and you could really hear her move. My DR said that she sounded very active. I don't know how I feel about that! I already have one very active child. I was hoping she'd be the calm one! He said that I was measuring small this month (a 24 instead of 28), but he says it's not anything to worry about. So I'm not worrying about it. Her heartbeat is strong and she's moving all the time, so I'm happy. We are going to have an ultrasound in two weeks. He said they usually do it at 32 weeks, but considering that I had Andrew at 32 weeks he wants to go ahead and do it early. I feel great and have a good amount of energy. With Andrew I barely had enough energy to get through work. This time I am enjoying being back at work and I can actually keep up with things at home! It still doesn't make me want any more kids after this, though!

I'll try to post some pictures once the computer decides to cooperate with me!
