1 room down

and 3 to go. Well almost.

I was pooped yesterday. We were out all day long getting stuff for the kids and baby.

We went to Ikea for the first time to get Jared and Dylan bunk beds. Let me tell you walking in that place was a nightmare for a first timer. I was so overwhelmed. We got lost at least 5 times trying to find things. The place had some nice stuff, but with me being 100 months preggers it was no fun. I told dh would be going back in a couple months.

Then we went to Walmart and got our misc baby stuff that we still needed. My cart had stuff falling out it was so full.

By the time we got home I was covered in sweat and had to take a quick shower. We then cleaned and decluttered Jared's room so we could put up the bunks beds and move Dylan in. That was a task.

Then we went to Caitlin's room and cleaned that up. We still have some stuff to do in there, but not to much. Then we can put up the changing table and crib.

I still need to get clothes put in the right rooms, but I really don't feel like doing it yet.

~ I have to get my stuff out Jared and Dylan's room and then put it on my bed so I can empty Jared's chest that is now in my room. Then put my clothes away.

~Then put Jared's clothes in his new dresser.

~Get Jared's clothes out of his drawers in his old bed that is now Caitlin's bed and put them away. Then get Dylan's out of the chest he and Caitlin shared and put in the dresser in his new room.

~Then get all Caitlin's clothes out of the chest and put them in drawers under her bed.

~Then get Brayden's clothes washed and put away in Caitlin's and Dylan's old chest.

See that just really seems like a lot of work.

I will post some pictures once I get things done. We still have to get some paint fixed in the boys room. Then it will be picture ready.

Jamie--just reading all of that made me tired! ugh.

Me too! We cleaned our house, top to bottom this weekend, to get ready for our shower yesterday. I had to take breaks so often, it was really discouraging. Luckily DH was on a roll (he is nesting WAY more than I am) and didn't seem to mind me being pretty sucky. But now that the house is clean, it should be much easier for me to keep it clean throughout the week.

Jamie, you need a "me" day today! I hope you can at least get a nap in.

Oh I missed my naps all weekend. So yes I will be napping today. NO MATTER WHAT!!!!

Jamie...sounds to me like you are in super nesting mode!

You've been busy!

I spent 4 hours yesterday cleaning out the closet in Hannah & Connor's room. I got 3 large bags together for the garage sale, and then chose a lot of other things to go down to the basement for now. We will be making a play area down there this summer. Then I spent a lot of time reorganizing their closet and room. I am so sore today, couldn't sleep well last night at it hurt so bad to roll over in bed. In a few minutes, I have to go and repeat myself in Kaitlyn & Lauren's room. Oh joy...

Well I GOT NOTHING DONE. After my nap I got up and took a shower because I was feeling blah and now it is even worse. I am having dh pick up Wendy's for the kids because I just have not been able to do anything.

Don't feel guilty! You are building a baby right now and that alone is exhausting! Not to mention taking care of all of your other kids! Indulge in some yummy Wendy's and maybe you will feel a little better.
