Nesting?

Over the last few weeks, my energy has definitely been returning. Thank God for the 2nd trimester! All the books I've read have said that this is when I will have the most energy to get things done, but I was a little skeptical given how gross I felt for a while. But it's completely true! So, I am definitely trying to take advantage of my bursts of energy.

Some of the projects I've been working on over the last few days include:

• Cleaning out the closet in the baby's room
• Updating our budget to plan for maximum savings to cover my maternity leave
• Sorting through all my clothing into "what I can still fit into" and "See ya later"
• Cleaning off our desk in the guest room so that it looks nicer for guests
• Prepping the dresser in the baby's room for painting
• Separated all of the clothes given to us for our Safe Family boys (still need to buy bins to store them in, then move it all to the basement! Baby steps, people!)

Maybe that doesn't seem like a lot, but considering how little I've accomplished recently, that seems like a BIG DEAL to me!

Some other projects that will begin this week/weekend include:

• Painting the new cabinets in the laundry room
• Painting the large cabinet/"storage thing" in the laundry room
• Installing flooring in the laundry room
• Possibly weeding/mowing the lawn (MAYBE....)
• Possibly putting the door back on the laundry room
• Painter coming on Friday to give us an estimate for painting our kitchen/living room/entry way 

SO EXCITING! Maybe it's just me, but I absolutely love crossing things off my "to-do" list! We'll see how it goes over the next several days!
