Alright ladies, here it is. Does it make you want to reconsider your vote? P.S. Sorry the pic is so big - I shy away from PIP for this reason!
Re: Bump Pic

Losing it...Without Losing it
You are so cute!!! Love your top!
I'm keeping my vote of girl. I just asked Emma to look and she said "Girl" as well.
johbel, 3 MEALS A NIGHT. Oh my gosh! That's crazy ambitious! What else have you made? I'll FB you about it tonight - I can't FB from work. But I'd like to make more stuff this weekend!
We're not in as bad of shape as I make it out to be. I do still have a couple loads of baby laundry to do and a few more things to put away in the nursery. I haven't put sheets in the crib yet because our bed skirt just shipped in from Target and I want to wash that/get it under the mattress first. I have quite a few things to return to Target - mostly double gifts from our showers. And I'd like to wash some of our things so that we're not using it straight from the package - hair brush, booger sucker, thermometer, etc. Like I said, nothing major, just lots of little things that add up and the fact that I'm crazy slow is not helping the cause.
But I cannot believe that you have the energy to make 3 meals a night. I barely have the ambition to make one meal for dinner!
I'm sure my motivation will die down quickly. Also, my freezer isn't too big so space is running out. We have a side-by-side upstairs which is full with our normal stuff. And then a top and bottom fridge downstairs which is where the meals have been going. I bought some of those disposable catering style pans and putting the meals in there. I've made some noodle casseroles, pasta casseroles, chicken cacciatore, stuffed shells, twice baked potatoes, chili, soup, etc. I've also stocked up on a few store-bought meals that are heat-and-go -- i.e. skillets, some prepared meals from Costco, pre-made hamburger and turkey burgers.
Aside from the meals, I haven't had the "nesting" phase set in, which is disappointing. Yeah, I've gotten the nursery all ready. And the house was a general mess from all the remodeling, so we got it back together from there. But nothing too crazy.
What bedding did you do from Target?
Awwww, you look so cute!
I don't know....three meals a night is VERY impressive! Well done! I've got a few things going but am hoping to stock up some more. I need to have VERY specific instructions on each package for DH to feel confident enough to cook it up! I'd like to make a Costco run soon to get some bulk beef. I'm also planning on making sloppy joes, taco meat, etc.
We didn't order all of our bedding from Target - only a few things from the Nojo Jungle collection. Bill's Mom made us a beautiful quilt with jungle animals and we've decorated the nursery around that. But I couldn't find the bed skirt in the store ANYWHERE so I had to get it online and you know they're sending stuff in like 15 different shipments.
I'd say that three meals a night is nesting....don't you think? I don't feel like I'm nesting - just preparing.
Tomorrow probably isn't necessary for me - I have the weekend - but I'm getting a little anxious and want to get things totally done!
