Baby Nursery...

The nursery is almost complete!  I finished painting last week and over the weekend we got it cleaned and all of the furniture put back in.  I feel like I am really ready for this baby to come!  Too bad I have about 15 more weeks, I am already having trouble sleeping and my body is just so sore.  I am also anxious for summer to start, ready to get a little bit more sleep and not have to "be" anywhere! 

This summer my plan is to just hang around the house, and let the kids play outside.  We bought some blow up pools last year and those were wonderful!  I am really looking forward to getting those out and using them again, they kids loved it and it kept them busy for hours!  I also plan on visiting local parks and getting a membership to our local zoo, which is a wonderful way to spend a morning with restless boys! 

This week I also went searching for a pre-school for our 3 year old.  With the new baby coming we were a little hesitant to send him to pre-school.  We didn't want him to feel like he was getting shoved out the door after the baby was born.  BUT after lots of considering I think that this will be the best thing for him.  He will get out of the house and get to play with other kids his age.  The pre-school is just down the street from us and its only 2 mornings a week.  So I think this will work perfectly for him, and me!!  I have talked to a lot of other moms who said those couple of mornings a week were a perfect time for a breather and a great time for bonding with the new baby.
