Nesting

I am currently deep in the throngs of nesting. My "Nesting To Do" list is filled with small to large home projects I would like to get done before this baby gets here. Many of them are somewhat unnecessary, but for some reason I feel like I HAVE to get them done NOW (i.e. re-paint my bedroom a better color). But, apparently I am not the only one nesting in this house. See for yourself...

Ugly little things aren't they? Ugly in a kinda cute way. Something interesting my bird nerd husband told me - the momma bird lays an egg every other day, then after sitting for 22 days, a baby hatches once every other day (in the order they were laid). Wouldn't it be nice only being pregnant for only 22 days? Then again, maybe not. If that were the case, I wouldn't have time to get everything done.

Getting Organized with Polaroids

For Christmas, my parents gave me this wonderful camera from photojojo (if you're gonna get one, get it there- it's way cheaper than getting it from urban outfitters). I love it! I quickly put it to good use and took some cute pictures to help me organize Wendy's toys. This way her toys won't take over my house, they were starting to suffocate me. Seriously, I was starting to feel claustrophobic.

I'm really happy with the finished product. I might have to go back to Ikea and get some more of these square baskets to accomodate the rest of her toys. Hopefully it actually works and keeps me organized.
