Vacation for Mami or Nesting Rampage

For the past ten days, we had a visitor in our house: Mema came to spend some time with us. It had been since Christmas and we missed her so much. The kids went wild on her and with her, and Mami went on vacation!

Well, not really! - Actually, I want on a nesting rampage......

I cleaned pretty much the entire house.
From laundry room (that badly needed it) to bathrooms and kids rooms. I scrubbed bathtubs and showers, floors and ovens, and almost took the refrigerator apart in order to clean it. I went through all the kids clothing and sorted the ones out that don't fit anymore. I do that randomly anyways, but this time, it included the sorting of summer and winter clothes. I threw away mountains of paper, packaging, old stuff that accumulates in one's house over the years. I guess, I was in serious nesting mode.....

Then Peanut needed to move out of her 'old' room - completely, so I did that. She moved into Coqui's room with all her clothes now - so that room seems to get smaller and smaller. They are sharing a dresser, they are sharing a closet, and they are sharing all their toys. I love it. Bed time has become so much easier - seriously, I wonder why I have not thought of this before.......

So the old room is now officially the baby's room. It's green, it's cozy, and I can't wait to spend a few sleepless nights in that rocking chair..... yeah! I pulled out the baby's bedding, the sleep positioner (remember that one?), all the receiving blankets and swaddles, the clothes diapers, and the snuggles.

The room is ready - all it needs is the baby!

And for those that have missed why I am on a nesting rampage, here is the link to the exciting announcement:
"Making a Baby in a different way". We are 29 weeks along....
