The Pregnant Mind

I don't know why but my already obsessive planning personality goes into overdrive when I am pregnant. My mind can't stop thinking about the baby, what I need to get done, the diaper stash, the baby clothes, how Greyson is going to handle the new family member, etc., etc., etc. Don't even get me started on the lists upon lists that I have made and are nicely filed in my home management binder...UGH! I just made another list last night as I was waiting for DH to come home. Thirty one weeks preggo and I already have my "what to pack for the hospital" list. Yes, it is a full page long and I haven't even started on the list for "what to pack for the baby". Just to give you an idea this is a list of my lists so far...HA!

~A list of what to get done before baby arrives (washing baby clothes, cooking, cleaning etc.)
~What to purchase before baby arrives
~Things to collect from sister and sister-in law (boppy pillow, swing, etc.)
~What to cook and put in freezer before baby arrives
~What to pack for the hospital
~What to pack for baby for the hospital
~Cloth Diaper stash list

Yup! And I am definitely not even close to being done getting any of those lists finished nor am I done making lists! My hubby just smiles and nods as I talk his ear off telling him all of the wonderful lists I have compiled together. Yes, he thinks I am a little nutty but he lets my temporary insanity run its course with lots of hugs and an occasional, "I love you". :)

Long Absense

Wow! Has it really been that long since I have blogged? Whoa! Ok, so life in a nutshell...we had major computer problems and thanks to a good friend of ours he has built us a very nice computer that is working much, much better :) Thanks Lance! Also, the best news of the year for us is that we are expecting our 2nd bundle of joy in just a few short months. YEA! No we do not know weather it is a boy/girl. We LOVE to be surprised. It gives me something to look forward to besides the inevitable pain of child labor...ha ha. So April 3rd is the estimated due date. Hence no blogging while I had morning sickness..Yuck! Although, I really was not as sick as I had been with my previous pregnancy. Needless to say I have been hit hard by the nesting bug and have been scouring the Internet for baby diapers, clothes, furniture....anything really and I can't stop thinking BABY. Even though we don't need anything for this new little one its fun to window shop :) So far I have my cloth diaper stash ready for the little one and some of the newborn clothes washed. I have a list that I made about a mile long of things I still need to prep...Hee hee. I'll try to blog more about the end of the pregnancy as time allows.
