nesting.

nesting has taken a different shape this time around. since i was working full-time up until 2 weeks before owen was born, i was in a panic to get everything ready just in case he came early. i spent the first few days off scrubbing every surface of the house and doing more laundry than i'd ever done in my life. and then, when everything was baby-worthy, and he did not come early, i sat around bored out of my mind.
this go around, i have had NO desire to clean. maybe it's because i have a toddler and the second after i clean it will just be messy again. or maybe it's because i live in an OLD house and can't really tell a difference when the house is clean because it's just that dang old. or maybe it's because i hate cleaning anyways and cleaning when 8 1/2 months pregnant sounds worse than being hung upside down by my toenails when 8 1/2 months pregnant.

this time nesting has been much more enjoyable.

take a gander:


the goods: 1 yummy minky/flannel blanket, 2 receiving blankets, 4 burp cloths, 1 beanie, 2 pairs of booties, 1 onesie.


so, i may have gone a little overboard to make sure this little guy has some home-made goodies from his mama. i think it may be that i feel a little bad that he will live his entire life in hand-me-downs and although owen has his fair share of hand-me-downs from his cousins (thanks miq!) he at least had a shower and got some new things that were all his own. so, i figured i would have to put my creativity to use for #2 and hope he doesn't notice the spit-up stains on all his onesies.
anything else i should add to the stash?
