Nesting??

Not so much, but I *am* getting a few things done around here. Today alone we got Christa's big girl furniture moved to her new room, put the bassinet together, almost finished Abby Kate's baby quilt, cleaned the toilets (they were embarrassing), and did some normal housekeeping chores. I have a ton of things left on my to-do list, but I'm feeling a little more prepared for this baby than I did a week ago. Physically, I am more than ready for these last 6 weeks to be over and done with, but logistically, we have a long way to go before we are ready to bring Abby Kate home. I'm hoping to be finished with all of the "extra" preparations within the next two weeks. That way, if she comes a little early, or I am put on bed rest for some unforeseen reason, then I won't freak out about all of the things I'd have to ask someone else to take care of on top of all of the childcare and favors I'm already planning on calling in from various family members!

Pictures are still coming. Honestly, I'm putting them off because I have about 6 months worth that need to be downloaded and printed. It's going to take a while, and I'm doing better with smaller, more manageable tasks right now. I will get to it soon, though, because I need to clear my memory card for Abby Kate's arrival.

Random question: does anyone know where I can get baby laundry detergent (like Dreft) for high efficiency washers? That would be awesome information.

Well, I'm off to get some rest after my exhausting day of non-stop, hard core labor accomplishment of a few small tasks that Cline did most of the work on :) As the due date gets closer, I'll have more regular posts on what's going on.

Have a great day!

you don't have to have the special "HE" detergent. I have a high effeciency washer, but I just use half (or less) of what is recommended for the regular washer. I think that the "HE" on the label is just a marketing ploy to get you to spend more money. Not to mention that if you use the regular stuff and use only half every time, your detergent lasts sooooo much longer. Hope this helps. Let me know if we can do anything for you.
