Busy Busy Busy!

So, I have been working hard to get ready for this baby. I think my nesting instinct is the worst with this pregnancy. My Mom has been in town for a couple of weeks and has been working at her house, and my house helping me get projects done.

Sarah and her threw me a "sprinkle", where the idea is to just get together and have fun. The gifts should be along the lines of diapers, wipes, soaps and lotions. Well, it was a total surprise and the gifts the baby and I received were above and beyond! I am very thankful for it all.

Together, my mom and I have cleaned the attic, scrubbed the kitchen down including cleaning out the cupboards and moving all the large appliances, shampooed my living room carpet and furniture, did lots of baby laundry, hung new shower curtains, and lots more random cleaning.

Nate has defrosted our deep freezer, painted our kitchen table and chairs, and has been doing lots of man tasks that I have been thinking up. :)

Trent has been helping me with Brooke, getting me drinks, snacks, pillows, carrying laundry up and down the stairs, and small cleaning jobs.

Brooke has loved looking at all the cute baby stuff I have been washing up. She has been arranging and rearranging the nursery. Oh, and she even tested a diaper out on one of her baby's so we know it will work for her little brother.

I am very lucky to have all the help that I have had this whole pregnancy. I have been feeling good and energetic during the day, but by 4pm I am very tired and grouchy and I have very little patience. So Nate gets to come home to that almost every evening.

Today marks 14 days until delivery!!!!!! (If not sooner, but I hope not)

We are getting new carpet in the baby's room, our room and the stairs hopefully next week. When that comes, and we get the nursery back together I will be ready for little Jack to get here.

Ok, well that is the update for now. I will post pictures of the little projects I have been working on later.
