Eviction Notice

Miss Harper has been served an eviction notice! Unless she vacates the premises on her own volition, she will be forced to "relocate" on Tuesday, March 3rd via induced labor.

February 27th was the official due date, which has now come and gone. Looks like Harper is already taking after her mommy by prefering a "fashionably late" arrival!

At least its only a few more days until we meet our sweet girl... hooray! We can't wait!

Nesting

It's been so great to have had the last month off to get the nursery ready, the house organized, and just generally caught up on projects that we've been putting off forever. Lately, my nesting instincts have kicked into HIGH GEAR! Here is a sampling of some of the random and crazy projects I have tackled lately:

1) Cleaned out 2 closets and given away tons of clothes. What a great feeling!

2) Re-Organized my pantry.

3) Redone the shelf paper in my kitchen cabinets. No idea why I felt the need to do this... just something that "had" to be done.

4) Polished every piece of silver in my china cabinet.

5) Cleaned out at least 5 drawers throughout our house. I've lost count.

6) Touched up paint in just about every room of our house.

7) Washed every article of clothing, bedding, and accessories in Harper's room. I think I've folded and re-folded it all like a zillion times.

8) Deep cleaned every corner of our house multiple times... everything from baseboards to drapes.

Whew! I'm exhausted just thinking about all this work!

For his part, Joel has been involved in many of these projects (although has been wise to just mostly stay out of my way). He's been the quite trooper in not only tolerating my irrational instincts, but has patiently helped with whatever I've needed done. Since I'm technically not supposed to paint while pregnant, he's been our master painter. He did Harper's room and bathroom all by himself, and it looks AWESOME!

Our pretty pale blue guest room is now fully pink-tified for our baby girl, thanks to Joel's great painting skills!
