Still nuts on nesting (and the 'net)

Well, my prego insomnia seems to be back in full force, along with a few other symptoms that I was hoping to avoid this go around (acid reflux, digestive issues, among others). Pregnancy provides a great end, but the means to get there is not always lovely for this mama. Not any real cravings here lately, except a renewed interest in chocolate at night. Bill's toffee/choc chip brownies with vanilla bean ice cream were delish (helped with the sting of the Colts loss just a bit). Yes, the belly touching has increased as my lil "basketball" has popped out. No strangers making contact, yet.

Much to Bill's delight, my late night web shopping and house organizing schemes have not abated. The less energy that I have and inability to physically contribute to moving stuff, the more work that I have dreamed up for him to accomplish! Mind you, we have been here almost 5 years. With this baby and imminent mortgage refinancing, we have committed to at least another 2 years, so, all of my long-delayed house decorating or rearranging ideas need to be instituted right about N O W.

I promise real pics one day of the new bathroom flooring and furniture...til then, here you go:

Final rocking chair selection

A mega Ikea trip with my gal pals Heather and Wendy yielded a record setting invoice and about 140 lbs of furniture in the neighbor's borrowed truck (thanks doctors). A few goodies include a new crib for #2 and bookshelf, amongst many other items. Aunt K10 even sent a shopping list from TN. Bill hates the Swedes after putting together one of the items and even offered to build it instead of the torture of Ikea assembly. He is a good man.

I have also reorganized my closet and the pantry, organized bushels of clothes/furniture/housewares for donation, and started to tackled the office/nursery #2 closet. We have been converting CDs into iTunes library over the past few weeks. Lots of new but old to us music being played, with C having a new found love of the Beatles.

Oh, and sweet but so tempting Etsy. I have bought a few prints, like this one for the office/nursery Keep Calm in Orange and this little one for me, hanging point unknown, reminder to be grateful.

Again, I promise real pictures at some point of our house as my wild ideas come to fruition and assembly.

Good night? Erin
