its begun

Today I decided to start tackling the baby's room. We had emptied all the baby stuff out of the garage and into Ethan's old room, to give our landscaper room to work in the garage (while he unpacks boxes and such for the backyard).
I won't tell you how many bins of clothes we have, ranging from newborn to 2T, because its almost embarrassing.
After digging through all the precious, tiny boy and girl clothes I've decided we need twins, one of each. :) I haven't seen some of Ethan's newborn clothes since, well... he was newborn. Oh, how I've missed those! I forgot how cute they are.

Anyway, I feel so ahead of the game, but I know the next 5 months are going to fly by. I'm trying to stay as organized as possible so that when we bring our little bundle home, life won't be (as) chaotic.
Our ultra sound is on Tuesday... we're getting very excited! We're both thrilled to be able to see how big our little one has gotten.

You are pretty amazing for starting this so early. I know I'll be rushing at the last minute whenever the blessed time comes.

Isn't it amazing how small our kids start out? I found one of Jenna's old sleepers the other day - a newborn one - I can't even believe she used to be too small to wear it!!

you know, it seems so early, but 5 months (at least in our house) goes by like 2 weeks. Its nuts.
I've always been a fan of getting these things ready before I'm hugely pregnant, in hot weather and SO not in the mood. :)

some of you have emailed and asked if We're registered... I am registered, but only for a few things. We don't "need" much this time around. We actually do need a few essentials here and there that have broken over the past 3 years or some have been lost in moves. Don't quite know how that happens. Anyway, I'm registered at babiesrus.com for those of you who wanted to know.

One Thousandth blog post + GIVEAWAY!!

By -
This marks the  one thousandth blog post   for me !  If you added the blogging over at Jastef.net, I'm sure it would be far more, but I haven't blogged over there since Kara was a baby. For my simple mind, Blogger worked out much better for me. Sorry, husband.  I've been at this blogging thing for almost 8 years and I'm still not sick of it! I like to write {never thought I'd say that} and I really enjoy interacting with people; friends and then strangers who become friends.  Its great and its been a great way for us to share our day-to-day life with our families, since we moved.  Jason and I have been mulling around what I should do for a 1,000 blog post giveaway, just for fun. Not because I think my 1,000 post is as special to all of you as it is to me. We tossed around the idea of a Kindle, since Amazon dropped the price, but it was still... too much for me. We settled on a fun idea. You get to pick the final result, so read on and then be ...

keeping the sickies away

Probably like most of you Moms, I've been sick of being sick throughout the winter. Its such a fun, holiday time of year and totally stinks when you're stuck inside, with illnesses. And, if you're not a fan of getting a vaccine for every little bug that goes around, you end up realizing you have to do your research to learn how to build up the immune systems and keep your brood healthy. I'm also learning that when it comes to sickness {we're talking sickness that won't cause death}, its actually good for our bodies to learn to fight things off naturally and not constantly running to get shots or drugs to cure us from ever getting sick again {which those shots don't do anyway}.  I'm no pro and my oldest child isn't even 7 yet, so I'm definitely not posting this to teach you ladies anything. And, for those of you with older kids, feel free to leave tips for how you keep your family healthy or natural ways to fight off colds and viruses.  ...
