Nesting

I've got some major nesting going on, at least I think that's what's going on.

I got on a kick this weekend to clean. Maybe it was because Kelsey was gone Friday and Saturday and I had nothing better to do. I started with laundry folding, then decided to tackle our bathroom which was absolutely disgusting. I've been meaning to scrub the tub, but it's way too hard to get on my hands and knees and do it. I just felt so much better -- more at ease -- when it was done.

Then I started on Luke's nursery and his clothes. He has A LOT of clothes! We bought some bins that will go in the storage unit. It's great because they are little and his things wont' get lost in the shuffle.

Here are the bins. They match the bedding (brown, green and blue). The brown ones have little monkey faces on them. So far I have onesies; sleepers; socks, hats and pants; receving blankets; and bibs & burp cloths. I have about 4-6 more bins, so I'll have plenty of room for other stuff.

How cute are all these socks?? They barely covered the bottom of this tiny laundry basket. LOVE IT!

I continued with my productivity by cleaning out underneath the guest bathroom sink and making room for his bath supplies and his tub, then making his own shelf in our hallway linen closet. This is where I have his little hooded towels, washcloths, crib sheets and blankets.

I have never been able to fold fitted sheets, and as I was folding his freshly cleaned stuff, I realized that was ALL the sheets he has!  So they look terrible. Mom has tried to teach me and I do ALRIGHT, but it still bugs me. I like having things really folded nicely.

I went in his room and tried to put things away as much as I could, but there is still so much to do with the nursery. We need to get the curtains hung, the furniture painted, toy box painted and covered (Kelsey is going to put padding on top and make it an extra seat) and also paint the little wooden LUKE letters that will go in his room. We also have some cute stick ons for the walls and some other artwork to hang. I know we still have two months, but that is going to go by so quickly.

I literally worked until my body just gave out, but it felt so good to be able to look at all those clothes and make some sense of it all. 

A couple friends had babies this weekend, and seeing their pictures makes me want to see him even more!
