Almost done

Matthew says I should be 3 weeks to delivering a baby more often because we've never gotten more done than we have since my last post. Projects crossed off our list include:

Plumbing, wiring, and vent finished and all drywall installed
Shelves put in attic and storage organized
All "random stuff" boxes from when we moved in sorted through and properly stored
Bedroom furniture rearranged and ready for Baby
Sewing table cleaned off and office closet (almost) organized
Hyrum's closet and dresser organized to include wee baby clothes
Outside playhouse/slide thing cleaned and moved into playroom
Bed lifted and ready for food storage
Christmas tree set up and decorated


Matthew still needs to finish cleaning out the garage and the Fellowship application needs more work, but we've been extremely productive and I am very pleased with the state of things. I feel like everything is in order and we could have the baby any time now. In fact, I would LOVE to have the baby any time now. My "nesting" drive seems to have been somewhat short lived and now I'm pretty much just feeling really pregnant. Last week I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced and when we went in yesterday the doctor said I am still about the same. So really I could go into labor tomorrow or it could be another 3 weeks. I've already progressed further than I had when I went in to be induced with Hyrum though, so that gives me hope.

Wow! You really have been nesting. I love the tree and you inspire me to get going on Christmas too.

I like the Christmas tree.

I wish I would nest the last three weeks of pregnancy. My nesting hits way earlier and so the house is not very organized by the time baby comes.
Well, I'm so excited to see pictures of the little guy when he comes...I know Naomi was ready to jump on a plane yesterday...good luck!!

Hello:
I also love the tree. I think the early tree thing runs in your family.

Good job on the tree! I find it hard to be productive those last weeks of pregnancy, though I want to be. ;-)

I wish I had an excuse to put up the tree that early, that is my favorite part of Christmas. I don't think Grant would let me unless this baby came over a month early :) Although, I hope my nesting kicks in soon because your list sounds a lot like what needs to be done around here.

Dang, I could have used a little of what you all had before I had my baby. I am currently making up for everything that didn't get done before I had the baby and right after I had the baby, haha. Way to be productive! I am sending you early delivery vibes!!
