The baskets and small tote are just shoes/hats/ and blankets! I'm sorta sad that we won't have any more little girls to wear all these cute sandals! Some of them, the girls never even wore!
This is our couch, as of today. The piles on the far right still have to be hung, sorted by size, and tagged...I just need more hangers:) And that actually looks really good... before everything was in totes, you coudln't even see the back of the couch!
These 2 bins are filled to the tippy top with clothes...all ready to go! They are so heavy that if anyone comes over, I just have to apologize for the mess b/c there's no way I'm gonna move them!
I'm really hoping this turns out to be a good thing not only b/c we have much to get for our little boy, but also b/c I have spent sooo much time on this project. We are also planning multiple yardsales...to get rid of the 4 totes of clothing I have for that! Geez, maybe I should have just opened my own little store!
In other news...things are going good with the baby. I had my glucose test yesterday, YAY for no more needles or bloodwork done! (until the iv at delivery anyway...which I always ask NOT to get, but they make me) I started having BH contractions about 2 weeks ago, which seemed kinda early to me, so now I just kinda have to watch what I do and not "over-do"it. Anyone else out there have them that early?? Oh, and Jared asked if he could deliver this baby too and unfortunately, he won't be able to...we were a little bummed about that. I think that's it for now!

You must be in that "nesting" "getting your house in order" phase of your pregnancy. I remember doing the same thing, cleaning out basements, big boxes of extra clothes, etc when mine were about to be born...If you need any help I'm available...I love to organize! Have a great day...
You AMAZE me! What a great job you have done. Did you send the girls away while working on this project? I don't know how you did all this and took care of the girls and Jared. Way to Go! Can't wait to meet this little baby boy.
We NEED to plan a play date Hannah is still talking nonstop about Jaelyn. Every time we go anywhere she says, "maybe Jaelyn will be there momma."
About those BH's. I think they're more intense the more pregnancy's you have. I started mine early with Gracie, too. but she was only two days early. No worries.

Consignments sales are all the rage in the South. I participated in one twice a year and loved it! Tons of work, but boy does it pay off! I made $350 one season! By contributing you get to shop the sale before the general public does. You get so much more good stuff that way. I usually got most of my kids clothes this way and by selling at the sale I usually came out about even. Neat, huh? I would love to know the name and dates of the sale.
One more thing, Jeremy loved that I got such great clothes for so cheap that he has offered to buy me a plane ticket to go to the sale in Birmingham! They are usually that good!
Hey Leah...it's this weekend at the farm and garden center on the Manheim Pike. Friday the general public shopping hours are from 5-8 I think, and then sat 8-12. I plan on shopping friday during the consignor only times...lots of little boy stuff to get:)
Man alive, you weren't kidding when you said you had a lot of stuff...is your family somewhere under the "rubble" :-)
I'm all about going to this thing next year...it's the organizing part I love the best...I'm right there with ya, Suzanne!
