Normal Life

It was a quiet week last week. 

The Lulu's enjoyed a morning coffee shop stop. She is one of his favorite friends. Every day he asks to play with her, Aunt Lisa, or Grandma. 

The boys have spent a lot of time wrestling and playing piggybacks. It seems they are just sick of every toy in the house. 

Yesterday Logan, Augustine and a friend of ours did an IKEA run for me. We got the changing table built today and it doesn't fit as well as I thought it would, but it will work. Plus, it matches the boys furniture in their room so I'm still happy about that. 

I finally got to meet this Little Miss! She was born in the thick of our winter sicknesses that wouldn't end, so we stayed away until now. She is so sweet and she makes me more excited to meet the Little Mister in my belly. I'm more sick of having gestational diabetes than I am of being pregnant. It's by no means the worst thing that could happen to a pregnant Momma, but it is a constant annoyance. I miss the days I can eat one donut hole without my body completely freaking out. Six more weeks to go...

Baby Prep

Nesting is one of my favorite things to do! It's basically a bunch of organizing and rearranging of our home, which I love. Plus, with the added feeling of spring on the horizon, it's especially satisfying. It also helps that we don't need a million little things this time around...just a few big things. 

Logan and Augustine will do an IKEA run for me soon so we have a changing table, a more organized bathroom, and a few other things. 

I've got the car seats in the car fitting three across!!! All you parents out there know what an accomplishment this is after hours of research and dimensions and installing with an 8 month pregnant belly in the way. 

Isn't it beautiful?! Plus, I'm a total organizational nerd because I got all the same brand car seats in grays/blacks so they would match. 

I finally tracked down my newborn clothes, and they are washed and ready. Along with burp cloths, cloth wipes, Boppy pillow covers, blankets, and car seat cover. 

We are going to try out the Fisher Price Sleep N Play, so that is ready. I dug out the Boba for baby wearing, the baby bath tub, changing table pad/covers, ordered a bundle of Honest Diapers, and picked fabric (well, my mom found it and it's super cute!) for a new crib sheet set. 

Paperwork is turned in, doula is hired, placenta encapsulation is planned, the boys G&G B&B is booked, babymoon is scheduled, and newborn photo shoot is scheduled. 

I'm actually feeling ready to meet this little guy!

This N' That

A cardboard box and toilet paper kept Lewis building for quite a while. I'm not sure what the game was, but he liked it. My toilet paper doesn't quite spin right on the holder, but it's worth a happy 3 year old. 

Augustine made banana bread during quiet time this week. He only needed help reaching the ingredients and pouring it in the pan. It was so moist and delicious! He did a great job!
