So TODAY... marks 26 WHOLE ENTIRE weeks! It is the most amazing feeling in the world to know that my little son is growing so quickly inside of me. I can't even believe that I am capable of growing a human being! A little me and a little AC, growing inside of my uterus. CRAZY. I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have the best family I could ask for, the love of my life by my side... (I can't even imagine my life without him) as well as his family! And the most amazing and supportive group of family and friends ever. Gosh, Life is good. :)
Last night I went on a cleaning rampage... kind of more like an "organizing as best as I can for how tired I was rampage." The comcast guy FINALLY came yesterday to hook up our internet modem in the dining room, so I was finally able to move the computer, desk and chair out of the soon to be... in 14 more weeks...nursery. I moved the china cabinet that we got from AC's sister and brother-in-law to the other side of the dining room... and the computer desk in its place! We put our dining table in storage because it was just too big for the both of us and we NEVER eat in there. EVER. So that is the system so far. Once I finish cleaning and figuring out just how I want all the pieces to fit together I will post a picture for all to see. Yay!
While I moved furniture all around the condo, I also kept up and completed FOUR LOADS OF LAUNDRY. Ohhhhh Yah!. I never complete this much laundry in one night. I usually fold the clothes in the dryer and then put a new load in the washer.. . only to forget that I have done that and wake up in the morning with the washer and clothes smelling like mildew (I can't even tell you how many towels I have ruined.. AC gets very frustrated with my laundry washing habits) hahah but whatever at least its getting done.
I also began to reorganize AC's closet. I put a new hanging canvas shoe rack in his closet to get his huge... size 14... shoes off the floor! I had to buy the canvas that is meant for sweaters and such because there was no way his shoes were going to fit in the actual canvas that was made for shoes.. unless I wanted to put ONE shoe in each pocket. But I prefer the shoes to be organized as a pair... not a single. haha I also vaccumed out the whole closet because the Comcast guy had to drill a hole through the closet and got white powdery stuff everywhere. ugh.
Then I cleaned out the baby room! ALMOST DONE! I bagged up all the baby clothes that we decided to keep to be washed.. and I organized the toys and such that we were given from friends, and I also started my post it system. There are a few things in the baby room that need to be moved, cleaned out, sorted, etc... so I took hot pink post its and labeled each thing accordingly. Example, the old Cal-King Mattress that we don't use because we got a new one is in the room against the wall... I "posted-it" as "TRASH." There are a pair of lamps that we aren't sure what to do with yet so I "posted-it" "STORAGE." The little mini dresser we are going to use in the nursery needs to be painted so I "posted-it" "PAINT" hahah you get the point. I was laughing after finishing because I look around and there are pretty much hot pink Post Its everywhere! Hahahah Whatever works!
Here is a picture of the baby room after I cleaned it up and tried to organize it. See the pink post it on the mini dresser? Hahah Our crib is scheduled to arrive TODAY! So that will be put together this weekend hopefully. We also still need to pick up the old dresser from AC's parents house that we are re-painting and using as a dresser and changing table. Then I can have a place to put the baby clothes!! We are also painting the walls a pale blue. I am very excited!!!
And the last thing I did was clean myself! I showered at 12:00am last night and it was so nice. I love taking showers. Then FINALLY went to bed at almost 1:00am. I was texting my friends Christina for about thirty minutes. Her husband works super late and doesn't get home until after 12 so I knew she would be awake!

Its pretty overwhelming to think of all the things that still need to be done before Little Koa arrives! But we are making progress so thats good.
My last day of work will be June 30th! Then I will have a lot of time to get things in order before Koa comes! One whole month. I am trying to finish as much as possible now though because I know I will only get more uncomfortable the bigger I get and the closer to my due date. What if Koa comes early!?!? Ahhhhhh I just thought of that! We need to get on the ball.
I slept with my SNOOGLE that Dana, AC's sister, gave me last night! It was AMAZING. I was so comfortable. It took me a few twists, turns, and pulls on the snoogle to wrap it all around me! haha But it was awesome... I highly recommend one to every pregnant woman. Here is a picture for you of the snoogle.
