Nesting

This week marks 37 weeks, which is technically full term!  We have been busy at our house getting ready to meet our new little guy.  This pregnancy has flown by, maybe because I have a very busy 2 year old distracting me, but it has definitely been a much easier and more enjoyable pregnancy than Blake's. 
Since we are having another boy, we are keeping most of the nursery the same, but Blake got a new room and he was a great helper as we were getting it ready for him.  We said goodbye to Kaitlyn's purple walls, and repainted one baby blue wall for Blake.  I was said to see the purple go-I loved that room, but John was more than happy to paint over those walls!


We are still working on some of the finishing touches, but here is Blake's room with his new
 "Boat Bed"
I kind of feel bad for the baby because he is going to have hand-me-downs his whole life-starting with his room.  Good thing I loved Blake's nursery because not much has changed.  My mom has suggested that I take the pictures of Blake out of the frames to make room for ones of the baby...probably a good suggestion

                                                                 All ready for baby!
Baby's bag packed-check!
Mom's bag packed-check!
Camera charged and ready-check!
One final thing on our to do list was to get a bigger car.  We put this off as long as we could.  John and I loved this car.  John always said it was like having an SUV, but driving a sports car.  Kind of a bitter-sweet day as we said goodbye to the Range Rover and traded it in for a family friendly Armada.

We now have plenty of room for the whole family-plus some extras!

Now, if we just had a name for this little guy!  It was so hard for us to decide on a name for Blake and it hasn't been any easier this time.  We do have a list of names we like-a LONG list.  Maybe we'll work on narrowing that down this week. 

I've got all the major things checked off my to-do list, so hopefully this little guy will decide to join us sooner than later.  We are so excited to meet him!

Super excited for you guys. The rooms are way cute. We are totally trying to pick a name as well, boy names are harder than girls I think.
