Nesting Mode
Hello all :)
Well here I am at 29 weeks and counting. The other night I finally broke down and stripped the closet of all clothes that no longer fit my expanding form, replacing them with my "preggo" attire. I'm blessed with some friends who passed on some fashionable hand-me-downs, so I can't complain. Maternity clothes have definitely come a long way.
The other night I gave Peter a laugh though...silly me thought that my two piece swimsuit from the summer would still fit this new body (I can hear all your laughs even now :) ). I need it for this couples' retreat we're attending next weekend cuz the place has a pool.
In my mind I remembered the tank top as stretchy enough to pull it off, but when I slipped it over my head it weren't goin past my protruding belly button! I pranced into the next room with belly hanging out, and hubby was less than sympathetic, roaring with laughter :(
A small price to pay for the wonderful life inside me (aww....)
And God cares about the little things like my vanity because a few days later he led me to a great little suit at a local second hand maternity/baby store. yay! I can swim in style after all.
So back to the title of this entry, my brain is in full nesting mode these days. I lay in bed chuckling to myself the other night with baby when I realized the hours my thoughts have been racing over what kind of shelving should go in the baby closet to maximize the space...like that's going to be very important to the little one :)
Does he know what a compulsive freak his mummy is? Poor little guy :)
Soon we'll be painting and moving in all the great furniture we got from Peter's sister now that she's done having babies.
Well, we're off to visit future Grampy and Grammy Cook.
Love to all of you who read! XOXO
