Cruising Along

We are 21 1/2 weeks which means we are more than halfway to meeting our newest little one! Our home has been going through some minor changes the past three Sundays. It all started with...the play room! I cleaned the carpet in the play room and reorganized, which is a mess again but oh well. Then the next Sunday I moved to... baby clothes. People all say,"Oh you'll have everything you need because you already have a girl and a boy." This is only partly true because of the seasons. Makena was born during the hottest part of the year while Brody was born at the end of our spring. This baby will be born when winter is in full swing. Ok, so he/she won't need a snowsuit but... there are still things that will have to be purchased. So, I went through bins and bins and bins of baby/toddler clothes and kept only my favorites that would fall into the correct season. Basically, I have four bins: two baby/toddler girl and two baby/toddler boy. Yea! That took forever! Then we spent another Sunday going through the kids bookshelves. I had to separate books that the baby may like, pull out books that have been destroyed, and also...I can't believe this one...some to donate!! (I can get rid of stuff super fast but books are very HARD for me to part with!!) I still feel like we have a lot of stuff but we can't get rid of anything else because it is all in use or will be used within the next two years. We also have a bed coming soon so we are actually adding to our house. I am still searching for coordinating bedding for the older two and trying to decide what to paint our room and the baby's room. We are cruising along.
