Nesting!

Here's mommy at 33 Weeks! Funny story about this picture....I asked Christian to come outside and take some pictures of me for the blog. Blame it on the preggo brain, but I closed the door behind us and locked us out! Daddy had to break a screen to get in...that doesn't make me feel too safe.

Just 7 more weeks to go until the arrival of Lil Baby D and the David house is in official "nesting" mode. The weather in Atlanta was gorgeous this weekend and it feels like summer is upon us, so we did want to have a little fun. We enjoyed our first weekend home in a month with lazy mornings, cozy dinners, ice cream and church. But in between mommy and daddy were in full cleaning mode. With a laundry list of baby to-do items it was time to start getting ready for baby!

Big Daddy spent Saturday with his precious pressure washer, hosing down anything that wasn't moving. He cleaned out the garage, washed windows and got the patio ready for outdoor dining - not that we'll be throwing any raging parties this summer!

Little Mama spent the day in the nursery organizing all the shower gifts and trying to decide what the baby needed. This prompted many calls to new mom Jen. How many onesies can a baby need....apparently a lot! It was a daunting task as the photo below will show. But every once in a while I would pick up a precious little outfit or a teenie pair of socks and it would hit me that in a few weeks we are really bringing a baby to our home. WOW! I love those moments.

I made a dent but you can see there's still so much more to do. Christian has started building all the equipment this tiny thing will need. And when Mimi Kathy comes to visit in June we are going to fine tune the nursery - hang curtains, dress the crib, hang pictures...all the fun stuff that grandma's love. I can't wait to have my mom here.

As for Baby D - he continues to stay very active in mommy's tummy. Space is limited but he manages to find a way to roam around in there, inevitably ending up on my bladder. He loves when daddy and I talk to him at night - he definitely responds to daddy's voice and pretty much goes nuts. It's hilarious to see all the activity in there. This kid is definitely going to wild one, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am already in love.

All for now...

The nursery before...does a baby really need all this stuff?

The nursery after....still a work in progress.

Success!! One down, ten to go.
