Nesting...Chamblee Style

I've often heard that a pregnant woman begins to "nest" about a week or so before she goes into labor. When you have two parents-to-be who are as organized & plan-oriented as J & I are, this period of nesting extends significantly. As you've seen in recent blogs, we've had quite a few home improvement projects in the works lately. This, along with his infamous lists & spreadsheets, is how I think nesting translates for J. Whatever the cause, I am certainly grateful. Our house has never looked so great! He even came up with a new project last night that he's taking on. I promise I didn't suggest it! I'll have pics of that soon.

We have also learned that, when you're expecting babies, you get excited about things you might not have thought were that cool before. Case in point: check out our newest purchase, an extra freezer for the laundry room. My goal over the next few weeks is to stock it with casseroles, spaghetti sauce, etc. so that I'll have plenty on hand for a while.

This one isn't a purchase of ours, but I'm definitely excited about it. J's parents told us they would buy us a chair for the nursery as our baby gift, & I love what we ended up with. Both the chair & ottoman glide & are so comfy. Thanks Gary & Karen!

The nursery has lots of fun new things in it lately, & we're slowly getting everything in place. This picture was taken on Father's Day, which was right after my shower, so everything was still everywhere.

Here is a closer shot of the bedding, for those who wanted to see it. I don't have Jake's bumper yet, but you get the idea from Mallory's.

And, of course, there's always something fun to put together, like our double stroller, which was a gift from my parents. J drove it around the living room to demonstrate his craftsmanship for me when he got done. He now has a pack & play & two bouncy seats waiting on him & will soon have a joggging stroller as well. No rest for the weary!

Okay, I'm sure you're tired of reading by now, so last picture. Here's me at 29 weeks. I had an appointment with my OB today, & we're all doing great. The next sonogram will be on July 10th.
