things are coming along

Bethany is napping & Cody is resting, and it's 57 and cloudy outside so I thought it would be a perfect time to make a hot pot of tea and write a post.

This is a long weekend for Cody,....he has today off. There are perks for being a gov. employee :)

We have really tacked the house hard the past 2 days and finally we are almost done. We now have a completely empty 3rd bedroom(previously a storeroom of sorts), an organized garage with a new (just delivered yesterday) chest freezer, which I'm totally excited to have btw, a room just for my exercise equipment, and a big pile of stuff to go to Goodwill. Hello tax write off!

A little later today we will be moving the toy box, train table, and big toys into the 3rd bedroom and it will officially be the play room until Lily is 6 months old, then we will rearrange once again and it will become the girls room. The kids bedroom will be getting a bookshelf, and a lg amount of misc boxes and bins will be making their way into our attic storage. We will also be making a trip to Goodwill providing it doesn't start raining again.

I feel like we are much closer to being ready for Lily to arrive and that's a very good thing since I'm scheduled to be induced on Nov 10th. I have washed all of her clothes, sheets, & blankets as well as the cloth liners from the car seat and swing. Now I just have to put it all away, or back together, whichever the case may be.

I've made a ton of sausage balls and a few loaves of banana (sooo goood!) bread for the freezer. And plan to stock up on more easy fix food items for after we come home from the hospital.

Garrett will be here in 19 days! Cody & I are soo excited to see him again! Bethany is still asking and/or talking about him every day she will be thrilled to see him too.

At what point do you say that your child is completely potty trained? I believe Bethany is. She hasn't had any type of an accident at all in well over a week, not even at night. I don't know what to do with the 40+ size 5 diapers we have left, she's not using them at all. It's going to be a looong time before Lily will be that big.

I still have to buy a diaper bag and size 1 diapers. I already bought newborn and size 2 diapers. Don't ask me why I did that, I really don't know. My hormones must be interfering with brain function :)
