Nesting.....but a lot easier to move this time!

This weekend we sent the girls away to Lance's parents house for some Mimzy & Pops time so we could get things ready for baby sister's arrival. The weekend started off rough. Not gonna lie. I spent about 2 hours alone in the car in a fed ex parking lot outside of our neighborhood crying alone before going home. Really, sometimes the highs and lows of adoption just call for a good car cry. 

But I pulled it together"ish" and Lance and I had a great weekend spending time just the two of us. It's truly amazing the amount of productivity that can occur when you remove the twin two year olds from the equation. I was in nesting mode big time and cleaned every last surface of my house. I'm talking, under the fridge, oven, laundry room tile, you name it. If it was within arms reach it is now shining. Last time I was "expecting" I was waddling around like a gigantic whale and has to just dictate what needed to be done from the couch! This time I've been much more efficient! 

Lance worked away on little girls pink room and at night we went out to long dinners alone and slept until 10am in the morning. It was great. And now WHEN I get the call to go to Ethiopa THIS month, I will be ready. And my house will probably be even cleaner. See, I am a stress cleaner. So if you come into my house and it's all shiny and smelling like lemon and essential oils you need to be concerned. If you can't find us under the piles of laundry and all you can see is playdough we are all good! :) 

But little Janes room is coming along, just a few more little things, and her clothes are hanging in her closet and her Mommy and Daddy are ready!! 

had to laugh as I walked through the back of the house that now occupies three cribs! When we bought the house we had it all planned out. We were going to just have one baby (jane) and make the other room a beautiful guest room and the front room (playroom) an office for me to work from home from part time. Ha! 

Wow, God has blessed our lives! 

My cousin text me tonight and told me to "Pray, Praise & Wait." So that I wil do. And I pray I wait more gracefully this week than I did last week! I have a good feeling. A good feeling about this week ahead.
