Nesting

As the time draws closer I'm feeling the need to be more prepared for these new little ones. I'm feeling a bit of pressure this time mostly because there are TWO of them coming and not just one. It will be an adjustment for all of us. A couple of weeks ago I had Barry bring up the infant clothes from the crawl space and they've been sitting in Liza's room since then. I finally decided to go through them to see what I actually had and what I actually need! Man I need more clothes. Most of the clothes that would fit them are onesies and cute little summer dresses but it'll be December and those dresses will be impractical. I figure that I'll need a good amount of sleepers to get through the winter months and twice as many as normal.

I also need to get another box to put all of the clothes away that are piled in a corner of Liza's room. They've been sitting there for wayyyyy to long.

Food is another item on the docket. I would like to get at least three more meals in the freezer in the next two weeks. It's just a matter of finding the time and energy, which I lack most days, to get it done. Plus I'm supposed to be "off my feet" for a good portion of the day. Luckily football is over and Barry now has freedom from meetings on Saturdays that can be put to good use getting the house ready.

I'm also not confident on our choices for names. I've waffled too many times and Barry is finally telling me to just decide. He really could care less about what their names are, but I think that they need to have meaning and not be just a name. I'm open to suggestions!

Amanda and Brittney are beautiful names!!! :)

You and Barry are going to be great with the new additions!

And you are nowhere near as big as I was with A and B. I looked like a frickin' whale! You look amazing!

Good luck and keep posting!

Nesting I remember those days sometimes the list of things an seem overwhelming. hang in there.

FYI You are welcome to borrow all of my baby girls clothes. It will save me from having to figure out where to store them and when your girls grow out of them you can just give them back so you don't have to store them. WIN WIN If your interested let me know if not no big deal.

I've got some girl preemie clothes that you are welcome to borrow, since most likely they will be on the smaller end of the scale.

I'm more than happy to make some freezer meals for you....let me know. I'll call you.
