Had my second OB appt on Friday afternoon.  Nothing big there... was weighed (I've lost 4 lbs!), peed in a cup, was asked a few questions and then we listened to the baby's heartbeat (164 beats per min) and I was off.  

Ran to Target then to get a couple rubbermaid bins for the ever so fun job of transferring your kids clothes out for the season/size... into bins that are stacked seriously from floor to ceiling twice in one of our walk-in closets (and she's only2!).  Ridiculous.  I've actually told my mom to STOP buying Ellie clothes. We have enough things to get her through the summer and probably even into the fall... then we'll see what we need once winter gets here again.  

My parents and sister came out to the house yesterday and we completely moved Ellie into her new room... pictures to come, promise.  It is way bigger than the old room.  Much more room for her toys... we also got her old room set up now as a guest bedroom.  We figure we won't need it for baby until about a year from now... given that he/she fits in the bassinet that long.  

Ok... just ran upstairs to take pics... give me a min to upload them.

Ellie's itty bitty old pepto bismol pink room...
Drumroll please... her new room... not quite totally put together yet... and obviously a mess since she's been playing in it... and we just threw a pair of curtains up that we had... I just haven't found the right ones yet... but I'd say it turned out really good!  I still have some painting to do... the doors need to be white... the window frames need to be painted white and we are going to strip and either finish or repaint the chest under the window.
Can you spot my old lava lamp?!  :)  It makes a great night light.
Finally an organized closet.
Max has already found his favorite place to sleep.  I didn't get a very good picture of it but we got the cutest tinkerbell ceiling fan.
I'm so happy that project is (almost) done.  Greg, his dad and my dad did a great job.
