Pay Day!

I'm so grateful to have a husband that works so hard to provide for our family...and I'm grateful for on-line shopping! Since we set the date for Baby, I've been feeling a little "nesty." But after the last hour of shopping from the convenience of my comfy chair I feel like in 5-7 business days we'll be on the verge of having what we need. We picked up the mini crib & mattress last weekend (its not put together yet, but I'll post a picture when we're all set, its super cute). Sheets and bedding are on the way. The car seat is now on the way (we had to get a new one in order to fit 3 across the back seat). And while I was researching, I came across a great Old navy promo code, so now the "big kids" are getting St. Patrick's day t-shirts (don't tell, its a surprise), a surprise for Jeremy, and flip flops all around. With less than 5 weeks to go, I think we're on our way to being prepared. I feel the overwhelming need to throw away everything we haven't used this week, but I'm trying to go with what we haven't used in the past year. It makes Jeremy crazy when I start throwing stuff out, but I figure this is the last time I have a valid hormone-crazed excuse. Plus 5 people in 900 square feet is going to require some sacrifice. I wish I could just take everything outside and only move in what I think we need...but that's a little too crazy, even for nesting. Its kind of too bad that the clean-mode doesn't kick in sooner, and last longer.

I can't believe you have less than 5 weeks left. I know it probably doesn't seem like it to you being the one pregnant and all, but I feel like that due date came up fast! Good for you for having a shopping spree. You deserve it! Good luck with all your preparations.

I can't wait to meet this new little guy! I know how you feel. Every time I watch an episode of 'Hoarders' I have to throw something out. Sometimes I feel like we have too much 'stuff' in our little house.

I get rid of stuff all the time. If you don't you end up on a TLC show (With everything on your lawn). Maybe you could just host your own episode and make Jeremy be the family!

When I 'downsized' from a 3000 sq ft house to a very small apartment, I got rid of literally a ton on stuff. Luckily your mother was 'in charge' and things went that I probably would have hung on to and probably would have to sleep in the car because this place would be crammed to the ceiling! Sometimes you just gotta be ruthless!
