Nesting!

My pregnant nesting instinct has come to an all-time high. It's so weird... and Craig doesn't believe that I can't really control it and that it is all pregnancy induced, but really I can't and it is! :) (Craig also didn't believe that food cravings were real when I was pregnant with Ella, but gave in in the end). I have been feeling the pressure to get the baby's room ready.

So I bought that boy bedding that I posted about a week ago... and Craig told me the other day that it didn't seem very boyish. So I went to target, bought some frames from the dollar spot (pack of three), filled them with boy scrapbooking paper (airplanes, hot air balloons, etc), and hung them on the wall - the total for the project was just a few dollars. I think it looks nice, and helps boy it up a little.


I also finally decided to paint our dark wooden changing table to match the rest of the furniture in the room. I wish I would have take a "before" picture, because it really was struggling - so painting it made a huge difference. Don't worry, I did the painting outside on our back patio (the day before the snow!) so I had plenty of fresh air. I also added some great World Market baskets to the bottom of the changing table so that we actually have a place to put things for the baby!

I have also been cleaning non-stop (including sweeping multiple times a day, straightening up constantly, making the bed as soon as I wake in the morning, deep cleaning the bathrooms more than usual...) and cooking like a crazy woman. It's really a good thing - but just so weird how I feel like I cannot sit and relax until everything is complete! This really never happened to me when I was pregnant with Ella.
