6 weeks and counting

With a little less than 6 weeks until our little man is officially due my husband has been "nesting" so that means that I have started as well.  We moved Steve's office to the basement, shampooed carpet, painted, picked up new furniture, set up Ava's big girl room and started to get the baby room ready, too. I didn't know how Ava would take her furniture being moved out of her room to the baby room.  Once she saw her big girl bed she was thrilled and immediately climbed up on it.  She was more than happy to give her crib to her baby brother and didn't look back once.  See that big smile above?

Now on to a little complaining...I'm ready for this little one to come any day.  I know that sounds early but he is a big boy, and I'm already tired of being kicked in the ribs.  With Ava I was a week late and never uncomfortable.  I know that sounds unbelievable but I enjoyed being pregnant and never had aches or pains to complain of.  This child on the other hand is causing a lot of sleepless and restless nights.  I have a hard time standing for long periods of time, too.  Did I mention that he's just a big kiddo?  You know you're in trouble when your doctor jokingly says we should name him Bubba.  I'm hoping that for my sake and my husband's, he does decide to come a little early because I don't know how much more *ahem* griping my husband can listen to ;o)  

Spookin' Up the House

Me and my mini-me have been cutting, gluing, glittering and baking up a storm for our annual soup party coming up this weekend.  The house is starting to look spooky and smell really yummy.  We're looking forward to all the soups, friends and fun this Saturday.  Happy Fall!

Time for a Little Decorating

I have seriously neglected Ava's room as far as decorating goes.  I put it off because I didn't want her room to be too baby or too grown up.  I knew what I wanted in my head but hadn't found it in the stores yet.  For now, there are 2 pictures on the wall and that's about it.  I don't even really like the pictures that much but I didn't want the walls to be completely bare.  I have a plan to add some white cubes to the wall for her to store some of her smaller things and want to hang a couple more pictures too.  I found this artist and think her drawings are so sweet.  I love them all and think they would look great framed in her room.  Now I just have to decide which ones to get.  I'll make sure to take some before and after pictures of her room as I start to decorate.  Let the decorating begin!!
