The Nursery

You can check out the finished nursery here. I'm so glad to have this space finished for Little Miss. I love it and I think she is going to as well! Hope you do too!

December Wrap Up

I really did mean to keep up with the blog over the holidays. Honestly. I did. Because it would make what I am about to do so much easier. But then again, if we kept up with everything on a daily basis, all our chores would be easier. You know, if you clean up while you are cooking, there isn't so much after dinner to clean up. And if you put away your toy when you are done playing with it, you don't have an entire playroom to pick up before bed.

December was busy. VERY busy. And I went from being 34 weeks pregnant to 38 weeks pregnant with baby #3. I also learned that week 39 won't be coming. Because that baby #3 is coming Wednesday. One day before I hit 39 weeks.

Finding and decorating a tree. Hitting Hallmark, so the boys can pick out their ornament. Wrapping up those festivities by searching for "the pickle".

Putting together the train (and changing the batteries on day 2!!)

Throwing up some lights outside, so we can say we "decorated"

The boys and I spent lots of time in the kitchen

We got ready for Christmas break with a school performance by Q (where he actually performed!)

Chad and I spent too much lots of time trying our hardest to be creative and find spots for "Elfie"

With some help from a favorite elf in Florida

Doing Christmas Crafts
Gingerbread House:

Including some time at Build A Bear to make a gift for our new baby sister!

Passing out in random places and random times

Annual trip to Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens

Riding the train with Santa (and Papa Joe, Grandma, etc etc)

Chaos of White House Family Christmas

And then it was Christmas Day!!!

The aftermath

And that my friends, was our December. January doesn't show any signs of slowing down. So you might want to brace yourselves and prepare to wait for a January update as well. Maybe even a new blog name, since we will have added some new XX chromosomes?!

30 Weeks

I am 30 weeks today! Ten more to go and this sweet baby girl will be here and safely in our arms! But first there are many things to get done. Her room would be one (oh and getting B out of her crib, is kind of big too) and then we have to get a car or we can't bring her home from the hospital! Today, I am not feeling good, so I am trying my hardest to keep my feet up, or at least, stay off of them.


We spent Monday night in Raleigh so we could meet the movers at the storage unit bright and early on Tuesday morning. Thankfully Ms. Ashley stepped in and watched the boys!! LIFE.SAVER!!!
They arrived yesterday in their big huge truck (that was full, gulp)and went to work immediately. I was pretty prepared:

We did a walk thru first and these signs were everywhere! I stood at the back of the truck and directed, in case something didn't have a sign.

This is what my house now looks like....in EVERY room:

Yes, it's a little overwhelming, slowly but surely we are washing dishes and laundry and getting it put away and assembled!!

However, the boys room was left pretty much unscathed. A few boxes, mostly clothes to try on and see what will work for this winter!

I did get their new nautical flags up today! The room is far from finished, we are just taking it one day at a time! Check them out here!
