Here it is, Friday night, Spencer is working at the new house and I am alone with my thoughts 
I am so excited because I just got an email that my FREE Christmas Cards have shipped! I hope that I can get them addressed and mailed out as soon as they arrive in my mailbox! One more thing off my list!
As of Wednesday morning I still had stocking stuffers to buy and a few gifts to decide on. While the boys were at school on Thursday I ran around town like a crazy lady and got all my shopping done. Then while they were napping I placed one last on-line order and I got an email that it has shipped already too! I couldn’t help but laugh while I wrapped gifts because we have officially entered the land of wrapping odd shaped children’s boxes and it is not always easy to make it look good!
While the boys slept and I wrapped gifts I had the chance to talk on the phone to my friend, Erin, who is due with #2, a little boy, the day before Zachary is due! We got to talk and catch up without the interruption of kids and it was so nice! We talked about labor, hospital attire, nurseries and much more! I have another friend, Mandy, that is due just a few weeks after me with her #2, a girl, and it has been so much fun to experience pregnancy with friends. Especially when we are all due so close together! (I borrowed this picture from Mandy ….Audrey and Zachary, friends before they were born!)
Every night before bed I make a “if I’m still pregnant tomorrow to-do list.” On that list today was to make curtains for the nursery. I made “mistreatments” that were so easy and I love them. They aren’t 100% completed yet, but I’ll share a sneak peak. If you are wondering what a mistreatment is go here to find out, basically all you need is some heat’n'bond and a glue gun and you are in business!
I started thinking about what I want the big boys to wear to the hospital when Zachary comes (go ahead and laugh at me, but it’s something I think about!) I had wanted to get them matching “big brother” shirts but they are hard to find in Joshua’s size. Then I remembered that I started on these shirts *cough cough* last year, but was never quite happy with the way they were turning out. Well fortunately for me I think the boys can still wear them this year and I think it will be cute and festive! All that is missing is their little mouths 
I might still change my mind, but if you are someone who might be bringing Andrew and Joshua to the hospital to meet their baby brother, I will make sure to have them done and ready for them
When I get to this point in pregnancy I get excited thinking about wearing normal clothes again. I look forward to wearing pants that don’t have elastic and wearing tops that I haven’t seen since last year. But I did make a very exciting purchase last week that I can wear even before baby arrives! If you know me in real life I can guarantee you are going to get sick of seeing me in these boots this winter! They are perfect because they aren’t too tall, you can wear your pants tucked in them or outside them…they truly are the perfect boot I got them here, they don’t have them online but you can find them in the store. They are on sale this weekend for $28.99, go get a pair
I am so excited and thankful because my Grandpa is coming tomorrow! I called him today and asked if he would be willing to come work at the house for a few days, he said yes, so we bought him a ticket and he’ll be here tomorrow afternoon! My Grandpa is such a hard worker, can do or fix anything and likes to stay busy. Spencer and his dad have been getting a lot done in the evenings, but there is just still quite a bit to do. I know that my Grandpa will be a HUGE help and between him working for 3 days and Spencer and his dad helping when they can that we might actually get to move in next weekend! The end is in sight and I am so ready to be there!
Here’s a teaser for you….there is much, much more to come!
Well that’s all the randomness I can think of for now. I hope everyone has a great weekend!
