Housekeeping

We have made a huge dent this weekend in getting ready for Islay’s arrival.  Our nursery is what was our guest room.  While we’re keeping most of the furniture in there, but the baby doesn’t need a queen size bed or a desk right now.  We finally got those items moved into storage this weekend.  Up next, painting and flooring!

Part of our remodeling is (finally!) getting our wood floors installed.  Those are going in all 4 bedrooms. So we’ve been sorting, purging, donating and storing our stuff.  It’s been crazy. We’re going to paint before the floors go in, so that’s on the plan for the next few weeks.  Luckily we’re only painting 2 rooms – Jonathan’s batcave and the nursery.

We still have more stuff to move temporarily to the garage, but we’re so tired from all the stuff we’ve done the last few weeks that we’re putting it off for a few days.  We’ve been helping my parents clean up their house and storage units – in part because my father is about to start dialysis and in part because we needed room to store our bed and desk.

I hope the nursery is finished by March.  That’s my unofficial goal. Wish me luck.

One other thing I want to do before my due date is get some meals stored in the freezer.  Which, since it’s just the two (soon to be three) of us, isn’t as hard as it sounds.  I can usually double a dinner recipe and freeze one.  I’ve got a longer list of ideas than I thought I’d have.  Meatloaf, meatballs, chili, hamburgers, greek meatballs, breakfast burritos, pancakes/waffles, baked ziti, lasagna, enchiladas, pot pies, shepherd’s pie.  Many choices!  Now I just need to get cooking.
