So far this weekend, I have accomplished some of the things I need to do, plus some others. I am officially nesting (although I've already nested off and on during the pregnancy).
On Friday night, a friend of James' from work told us to come by and look at all her old baby clothes. She had a big yardsale yesterday morning, but said we could get an early look. She gave us 50% off what they were priced and I went nuts. I spent $72, but considering how cheap they were, that's a lot of clothing for baby girl! I got some gorgeous Classic Pooh stuff, some Christmas outfits, dresses, feety pajamas, a few 2 piece outfits, a coat, Guess jeans, Tommy Hilfiger jeans, an Osh Kosh B'Gosh jumper, and more. Everything is in great shape. The great thing is, her daughter was born in April, so the sizes match the seasons we need perfectly. I already had tons of stuff for up to about 6/9 months, but not much for a year old or beyond, so now we are in better shape. Today, I plan to wash all the clothes and put them in her drawers/closet-- if I can find room that is. I may just need to pack them up!
Yesterday, my mom took me for tea at our usual spot about 45 minutes north. We had a great time and we talked a lot about baby girl's arrival. She is so excited to meet her first grandchild! I have a picture of the fabulous lemon curd and berry tart I had, but I'll post it with the rest of the pictures later. I have updated nursery pics (it looks great), but I am waiting until we get the last pictures on the wall today before I finish taking pictures. Remember this picture idea? Well, we went with it and it turned out great!
When I got home from lunch with mom, I decided to clean off the entire China cabinet/display thingy. I washed every single teacup and teapot, crystal bowl, etc in warm soapy water and dried it off. It took me almost 2 hours because some are so old and fragile. Now, everything is shining. :-) James and I also dusted and cleaned the living room and he is cleaning the office/guest room as I type.
Tonight we are going to my parents for dinner as usual, and I making a berry cobbler-- maybe my last big culinary undertaking before baby arrives???

Hopefully this will be the last big dinner before her arrival :) The nesting sounds good. Only a couple of days to have baby by my prediction. :P

Posted by: Chas at March 26, 2006 06:07 PMWe found that when Lucas arrived, we had *tons* of clothes up until 6-9 months ... then we had to go shopping! :) So I've decided that for baby showers, I'm buying the parents-to-be some 6-9 month outfits! :) That dessert that you had sounds DELICIOUS ... I love anything lemony! Gosh, I can't believe how close you're getting. She'll be here before you know it!
