Over the last several days, the entire family (or more accurately stated-the women in the family) have been nesting crazily. My sister, my mom and I have done more organizing, rearranging and decorating than I thought was humanly possible. Never in my life have I been so overcome with the desire to get things organized. Our entire garage is stuffed with trash bags, boxes, and all other bits of miscellaneous junk you can imagine.

Fortunately, this frantic cleaning resulted in a much cleaner house and a beautiful nursery. My sister and my mother deserve ALL the credit for creating the nursery. Being the lump that I have become, I couldn't do much to help. They worked for 6 hours straight on Wednesday and they're putting the final touches on the room today. I am so excited to bring little Catie home to such a beautiful and lovingly put-together room. I'm incredibly grateful to my mother and my sister for all the help they have given Brian, Catie and me.
Before and after shots of the nursery--final nursery pics. coming soon.
I've also been extremely lucky because Brian has had time off from work. He has been off since Wednesday and will be free until next Wednesday. We've had more time together than we've had since last Christmas break. It's been wonderful to have a few days to be together before our life undergoes a giant transformation. We've been going out to fun dinners (and ice cream), relaxing together and hanging out with our pups. It's been such a blessing!
Now that it's Friday, I have a few things I want to do before I feel completely "ready," if there is such a state. Other than these minor odds and ends, I just have to be patient and remind myself that anxiety at this point is worthless. Life is moving forward and there's nothing I can do to slow it down or speed it up. It's such a challenge, though, when I'm so anxious to meet my baby girl and so nervous about the birthing process.
Brian and I enjoy the Riverwalk.

Yeah for Baby Catie! I know that Courtney is having a ball being there and being able to decorate the nursery. Don't worry about the birthing process. I may sound crazy, but it was my favorite part and I can't wait to do it again! It's so amazing. Good luck!
