So, let the nesting begin. I moved the girls into their shared room last weekend, and I thought it would take weeks before the process was complete enough to start preparing for Lizza, who is due in 6 weeks. BUT, the move went great, and I am some how bit with the productive bug and eager to get the nursery back in order.
I started, like all successful redecorating projects, with a trip to Ikea. My friend Megan came with me, and we had a great time. Quinn got to play in the Playland, and Kenna was an angel in the stroller that I packed with blankets and soft things from home. I am surprised she kept her eyes open.
My goal was to find some bins or boxes to fit under the girls beds in their bedroom to increase the storage space for close and shoes and things. Success. Found cute pink bins for under Kenna's crib and an ugly, but perfect, "Under the bed" box for Quinn. I got home and within an hour I have moved every item of Kenna's clothes into Quinn's room, and everything now has a place to go.
If I were not so complete exhausted I would start go through the baby clothes and getting the nursery all ready, but it will have to wait for a few hours. Here is my before Lizza comes to "due" list:
Move the mattress up in the crib to the newborn level
Print pictures to update the walls in the nursery and the girls' room
Hang pictures
Clean out baby drawers and fill with stuff I will actually use
Dust and clean the baby furniture and under the crib
Buy a small shelf to hang right near my glider to use for my water and book and phone when I am nursing this round
Move the iPod dock to Quinn and Kenna's room and find an Ipod old enough to use with it
Get rid of a lot of baby toys that Quinn OR Kenna never used
Get rid of a lot of baby clothes that Quinn OR Kenna never used
Get the mobile out and ready
Find the changing table mobile that both girls have LOVED
Find a way to put a chair or seat in the nursery so people will hang out with me while I nurse
Decide how I feel about use sleep positioners or sound machines with this baby

Good luck with the baby to come! It sounds sick, but I almost envy you because you soon will be in layber. I`ve given birth to two beautiful children. A girl 5 years ago, 3,4 kg and a boy 8 motnhs ago, 4,8 kg. And I`ve never been so in touch with myself! It was amazing!
Sorry about the long comment, probably terribly spelt. My point was that I like your blog :p
