Noakes' Nest: Sprucing up the Nest

This Mama is in major nesting mode. Since I blogged last we've:

Cleaned and reorganized the garage
Cleaned and reorganized every closet in the house
Cleaned and reorganized all the bathroom vanities
Cleaned and reorganized all the kitchen cabinets
Reorganized all our dressers
Reorganized attic
Made a pregnancy scrapbook
Organized a memory box full of pictures into albums

Phew, I’m tired! We are getting a new fridge tomorrow and I can’t wait to organize it too! This is rather sad I know but it feels great to purge and organize. Phil has been very supportive of my nesting. He has helped me out with most of it and even put up with me making him go through every one of his shirts and decide which ones to give away and which ones to keep. In my defense, a few of his shirts in the closet were over 10 years old.

In other baby news we found out the gender a few weeks ago! As I explained in my previous post I’m considered a “high risk” pregnant lady which means we have monthly ultrasounds to make sure everything is developing correctly. Good to see the baby, bad that I worry each time I go in that something may be wrong. I just lay there waiting to see the heartbeat and to find out if the placenta looks healthy. Then a few tears of relief escape when they say everything is looking good. Anyway, because we have these monthly ultrasounds we found out the gender 4 weeks early. We’ve been telling friends when we see them but I’m not ready to put it out in blog/facebook land until we’ve had it confirmed at our next appointment in a week. So look out for a baby gender post next week!

Overall I’m feeling fabulous. All my previous symptoms are gone. I can’t believe that I'm 19 weeks which means that I will be half way done next week!

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and look for a gender post soon J

Love,

Megan

Our lovely Halloween pumpkins.

The baby dressed up as a pumpkin for his/her 1st Halloween! I will be doing this for every holiday between now and when the baby is born. I'm 16 weeks in this picture.
