NESTING!
NESTING! That is pretty much all I have been doing lately. In a quest to get things ready for Bennett, I have been going what feels like non stop. My mom has been graciously dedicating a ton of time to helping me do the things I have been wanting to do in the house and have either not done or not known what to do (I am nowhere near as decorator minded as my mom). We have painted rooms, made little crafts, rearranged rooms, etc, etc, etc. I am so happy that these things are getting finished-honestly, they may not have gotten done otherwise.
Here are a few things we have gotten finished:
We got this cabinet for $2.50 at the thrift store. After $1.00 worth of paper and some Modge Podge, I now have a new and super cute bathroom cabinet!
We made some wall art out of canvases and fabric. About $15.00 total for the whole thing!
This deal was awesome. We needed furniture we could use both for storage and for sitting on-hence, this bench. The bench was originally $200, but we found it on sale at a place for $120. This bench had a piece that was damaged so we got it for $40.00! And to spruce it up (too much white on white), we decoupaged the inside and the back. We are in the process of doing a couple other things to it, but this is what it looks like so far. And this is the back!
Even though we have gotten a lot done, there are still a few other things I want to get done, which are all in the works here in the next few weeks. And this Friday, we are starting Bennett's room-YIPEE! I will for sure post pics of that!

6 Month Update
It is crazy to believe I have passed the 6 month mark of my pregnancy. 25 weeks down, 15 to go. Woah! A couple of things have happened in the past month, the biggest of which is the movement. It is crazy and cool! Not only can I feel him like crazy but when he kicks, I can see my stomach jump. Adam and I lay in bed every night and try to catch a glimpse.
Bennett now has a sleeping pattern. He is awake when I lay down at night and when I wake up in the morning, and pretty still during the day. Sometimes I get a little movement in the evening, but it is the strongest at night and first thing in the morning. I am really hoping he gets that sorted out when he gets here. :o)
Adam, my mom, and I also went to get paint for his room. With my mother the master decorator, and my husband the visually blessed guy, my little guy's room is going to look amazing! We are possibly going to be starting it this Saturday or next.
I can't believe it is getting so close. I am scared and excited, both at the same time. I am sure that'll never go away!
