I'm not sure how much I believe in the whole 'nesting instinct'. I mean, it's crunch time for us to get things done, and just because Derek and I are working like crazy to finish projects before baby comes, does that necessarily mean that we/I am nesting? I don't really think so. I mean, before a big vacation you have to get all your things in order, is that a nesting instinct? I don't know. At any rate, our house has been full of hustle and bustle, and I've really been enjoying it. We've put new blinds in our room, new curtains in Evelyns room, painted Gwens crib, buying all sorts of needs for when she arrives, arranging some meals to freeze so Derek doesn't go hungry when I don't want to cook, and I've got a few more projects I need to sew. I'm making myself a nursing cover (thank you to the Quilt Shoppe, which is now my favorite store), I need to put together these cute little boards for each of my girls to hang on the wall in their rooms (got the idea from Pottery Barn) that include their initial, cute fabric (Quilt Shoppe), flowers, butterflies, pictures, etc. I need to sew another matching diaper pouch for Gwens diapers to put in my diaper bag. The basement needs some serious cleaning, I think I could go on for a while.
One of the things we've done that I am most excited about right now is the vinyl in the girls' rooms. Thanks to Janae and Brad who cut it for me and did everything EXACTLY how I wanted it. You'll see how cute it is, even if my pictures aren't that good:
This pic above and below are in Evs room. We've got the flower thing going on in her room.
The birds are in baby's room. Remember the bird fabric? I love it.

I LOVE the vinyl! It turned out awesome. I want to do something similar in my girls' rooms. Nesting is def. real for me. For nine months straight I go crazy cleaning and organizing things normal people and my normal self would never even consider doing. I'm excited for Gwen to come.
That is so cute!
Okay...I my have to copy your idea!! I love the birds!!! SOOO CUTE!!! I was thinking that I needed to get some before i leave! I wish I know what I was having! Anywho...let us know when Gwen comes! We can't wait!!
First of all-your little floaty baby says 13 days!!! Holy cow! That is quick.
And the vinyl is TO DIE FOR. I love it.
You are so not self absorbed. I always have feelings of guilt toward the end. Not about me-but about the youngest child getting bumped. :) It only lasts until you hold that new little one. I'm so excited for your little family. More love....it's the best.
Keep us posted! Can't wait to see her. And Evelyn is so adorable. I love her tricks...Where's Waldo was my fave. :)
The vinyl is absolutely darling, now post a pic of the quilt!!The nesting thing is wonderful, because you get so much done!! i used to rock Frank - yes he did fit on my lap - a long time ago - and snuggle him while we both had a wee little rest when I was pregnant with Catherine and then he turned into the big brother so he didn't want to be my baby so much anymore - girls are a bit different they will still snuggle even if they aren't the baby anymore. Love ya, grandma T
CAAAYUTE!!!!!
I love it Christi! It will look great with that blanket you made. You are so good!
