So, I am WAY pregnant. I am on the final count down: just 11 days until my due date. I would post a picture, but I'm not really into that. :) Basically, I look like I swallowed a soccer ball, watermelon, or maybe even a beach ball--you get the idea. I have been in major "nesting" mode for the last few months and have thus become a terrible blogger. Sorry about that.
During the last month or so, I have had a blast painting my house! We finished the whole main level (family room, kitchen and bathroom) as well as the upstairs kids' bathroom. I LOVE the effect of color on the walls. It makes me happy. I also bought some bar stools on KSL and covered them with beautiful apolstery fabric and plastic (so the kids can't destroy them)--a very fun and rewarding project. We also recently did a $100 remodel to our bathroom. A new mirror, light fixture, hardware, paint, and a few decorations have made a HUGE difference. We also put hardware on the kitchen cabinets, ceiling fans in all the upstairs bedrooms, and organized our food storage. I love doing little home fix-it projects (or watching Ryan do them :) My current little project is making bedding for my new baby's crib. I admit that I am not much of a seamstress; but fortunately, my mom is. She's helping me finish a new bumper and crib skirt that matches Adelyn's throw pillows since they'll be sharing a room. Everything is just about ready for my new little one's arrival.
I have also been working more this summer since Ryan is not currently teaching. It has been pretty difficult (especially the 12 hour graveyard shifts). But after this week, I will be done with that. I am very much looking forward to life slowing down. I have absolutely nothing on my calendar or to-do list after this week (apart from adjusting to being a mother of three, of course) and it feels so refreshing. I am excited to just enjoy the all-too-fleeting weeks of my newborn's infancy. I cannot wait to finally meet my little princess. Anyway, until then...
