So, what I’ve been doing lately is cleaning cleaning…oh…and more cleaning! I have cleaned the entire house like crazy (mopped the wood floors on my hands and knees) but now I’m working on organizing/cleaning. For example, today I went through my wardrobe and the closet, organized all the shirts by color and then by style.
By style is huge because guess what?! Being pregnant…you not only have to buy maternity clothes but now you have to buy nursing clothes! This is too expensive! ;) Yesterday my friend Kristin and I hung out and had a great lunch and then she spoiled me and introduced me to a store that she loves, The Pump Station. Now, I understand the love. This store has everything on breastfeeding. It’s great! The staff was friendly and helped me find a great nursing bra, yup, you need those too…and they’re not cheap. The Pump Station also has a plethora of information on breastfeeding and classes! I noticed they have one this Friday that teaches baby sign language. I am going to text Kristin and if she’s free…you know where we’ll be Friday! :) Well, while there Kristin and I noticed some nursing shirts that gave us some great ideas to do ourselves, snaps on the sleeve of a T-shirt to just fold down. We looked at that and must have realized at the same time, I giggle thinking of it now, but we both said, “We can do that!” so excitedly we have plans to meet on Thursday to alter a few shirts! That’s why today I was going through my closet pulling the shirts that I am going to Frankenstein up! I bought 3 $4.00 T-shirts at H&M a few weeks back because they are long enough to cover my belly and the fact that they were $4.00 was exciting to me, now I get to use them even further by turning them into nursing shirts! I’m so excited!
Another thing I’ve been doing is baking! I baked chocolate chip cookies, brownies, chocolate cupcakes and now my latest and greatest!
Yup, RED VELVET cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
Thomas, please come soon. I can’t continue eating like this anymore. I love desserts! I loved desserts even before being pregnant but now more than ever I really NEED it.
We’ve all placed bets when Thomas will be born and my guess was July 21st, 2010! If you don’t have a calendar handy that’s tomorrow. I really feel like he’s going to be early but I’m not feeling any symptoms as of right now so maybe he’s not going to make his grand appearance tomorrow.
Being with Kristin yesterday was exciting, she just had baby Grayson James Fischer and boy is he cute! He is 5 weeks old and snuggling him really made me want to snuggle Thomas. I just want to be able to hold him and kiss his little cheeks! It was so wonderful being able to do that with Grayson. And the best thing in the world was Thomas kicking while I was holding Grayson. I think they are going to be great friends!
Grayson James Fischer - So precious! We are so excited to have this little guy in our lives!

Nesting, when will it end? When baby bird comes.
Were those cuppy cakes GF?
I wish Momma, we’re not there yet.
Just wanted you to know I am keeping a close eye on you! I remember the nesting urge with John in particular. I stained a dresser for his room and swept down the outside of the house and was going to start another project before Ron stopped me and told me to rest. John came before his due date and hopefully these nesting signs indicate Thomas is going to show up early also! Take good care of yourself, you’ll be glad you did.

Will you make me some red velvet cup cakes??? Haha they look SO good!
HI!!!
In my experience, nesting will stop about a week before the baby arrives, so that all of your hard work and prep will all go to pot just before he comes. ha! At least it seemed that way with all of mine….I would have the freezer stocked with homemade meals, and other easily cooked foods, and have it all clean, then start to get tired, and before I could replenish the stuff, Baby would come. =) Maybe he will come on Saturday! Cass and Annie were both born on Saturdays.
