Home Stretch

With less than two months until the babies come, our house has become a busy place. My craft room is being turned into a nursery and we got some closets and nooks redone to make room for two new bodies. There is clutter everywhere that is slowly finding it's way into new homes. I am washing all the baby clothes and getting them put into drawers and making a list of all the essentials we still need. One plus of this pregnancy is that I have been buying clothes at the thrift stores since finding out the genders and it's amazing how much we already have (esp. for baby boy). I have picked up a ton of name brand and near new baby clothes for often less than a dollar. I definitely recommend this over shopping for brand new outfits.

I am still stricken by how calm this whole pregnancy has gone and feel grateful that we decided to "have just one more." I definitely feel more at ease in this skin even though I am more prone to being tired. The roundness of my body doesn't feel as imposing (well, except at bedtime) and I feel healthier than I ever did with Mia. It also helps that Mark has become the uber-husband and dad---never complaining when I need to rest or go to bed just after Mia. He has taken our news with uncharacteristic calm.

We are getting so excited to meet these new little ones and though I know it will be crazy insane around here, I am comforted by the calming way we have let them grow.
