Planning, Planning, Planning

I think I've always been a planner at heart.....I tend to procrastinate on certain things, especially in the good ole' days when it came to school, or possibly any chores I was given by my parents! But now, my mind is completely focused on the baby and getting things done! So much so that I'm beginning to become a bit stressed. This week we're cleaning out the baby's closet, which is a huge project in itself, even without having to plan for a baby. The entire guest room/nursery is a mess with boxes, holiday decorations, items set aside for donation, years of photographs, etc. I just don't know how we're going to get rid of what we need to get rid of and how we're going to store what we want to keep, all while having leftover room in the closet for the baby's things! I suppose we will make it happen. Once we emptied out the closet, it was also very clear that it needed a fresh coat of paint. The inside of the closet looked like someone smoked a pack of cigarettes a day in it for about 2 decades....it was just a terrible yellow color. So, we've got the first coat of bright white paint on and will finish that up tonight. We've got the samples of the wall color for the room and hope to get that started this week or weekend. I am still determined to have the room done by the last trimester so I can sit back and relax! It just feels like the list of 'to do's' is never ending and the 3rd trimester is just 6 weeks away.

I do have a fun thing to share though! Last weekend when we spent an evening in Ft. Worth, I wanted to check out a baby boutique I had heard about online. I've been looking for the perfect coming home outfit but was finding that the clothes at Gap, Carter's, Target, Babies R Us, etc. just weren't special enough for his first real, non-hospital provided outfit. We found this one at the boutique and I just couldn't resist. I think it's so cute, and hilarious to boot. Rob says "The tie makes it less of a gown". Ha! We can't wait to see him in it. I've also included an updated bump picture. This was taken yesterday, July 10th, at 20 weeks, 2 days pregnant.
