The Licameli house gets "babyfied"...

Well, I finally feel like I'm making some progress toward getting things ready for the babies to arrive. The last several days have seemed very productive. We were able to settle on the nursery theme & paint, which I think I posted before. It should be lots of fun to start putting things together once all of the ordered goods start rolling in. It's amazing my credit card hasn't caught on fire from over use ~ or that the credit card company hasn't called to flag it and say that there are mass charges being incurred. What fun it is to buy for the boys!!!

I scheduled the painter so just waiting for a rainy day so he'll knock it out in one day. The cribs, changing table and the glider were ordered. My registry is complete. Phew, it feels good!

Now I can concentrate on getting back to my journaling and reading. I also want to get some memory books and boxes prepared for each of the boys. If I don't get it going now and make it easy to keep all of their little memoirs together, lord only knows when I'll have time to do it after they arrive. I know boys don't care as much as girls about that kind of stuff but someday maybe they will appreciate it.

I still feel exceptionally good - and am so thankful for that. I've gained a total of 18 pounds as of this morning - and almost an inch in girth around my belly in just a week. They are growing in there, that is for sure! My appetite has changed a bit - not hungry as often and obviously can't eat as much at one sitting. Things are starting to get a little squished in there. I do feel like my belly has dropped a bit today - not sure if it's my imagination or what but until today, I felt like they were starting to go higher into my ribs. Now maybe they have adjusted and are going out instead of up? Who knows.

Either way, I'm thankful for each day ~ and am savoring the days that I feel so good. I know it's going to get tough; I certainly am not taking anything for granted. What a blessing to have three babies inside of me.
