Someone please sedate me!
One word...NESTING!!!! I was never this bad when I was pregnant with my girls. I really think I'm borderline neurotic now. I still have over 3 months left, but I am already not a very patient person, then when you add a looming due date...well, let's just say I'm not sleeping well lately. I have to figure out a way to squeeze Isabelle into Brooklynn's room, including another twin bed, dresser and her clothes and shoes. (Don't bother suggesting a bunk bed because Russ is highly against them). Plus, Brooklynn's room is also the play-room with all the toys, crafts and dress-up items. So I need to figure out how to fit everything in there and still leave a little open space to play. Our master bedroom already doubles as our office and will also have the bassinet for the first few months...and the "nursery" is also our deisgnated storage room with filing cabinets, my craft and scrapbook supplies (which I never have time to do anymore but I am too cheap to throw them out), book shelves, crib, baby gear and the new baby's clothes. I know I sound whiney, but I AM truly grateful for all the comforts we have that may lead to a rather cramped house. I just wish I could find a way to make it all fit...and I wish I didnt have to rely on other people to get it all done. Russ keeps getting after me for "over-doing it" by hauling boxes and moving furniture...and I know he's right...it's just this strange need to get everything in place and organized, like, NOW. Aaaargh!! Did any of you have major nesting issues?

Oh BOY! Do I know how you feel! Take it from me...let people help you. It was tough for me too. I am such an independent person and I like things done a certain way. But I had to learn to let go of that and just C.H.I.L.L. Also, I got rid of ALOT of things I hadnt used in over a year. Good luck, Tara!!
A thought on the shared bedroom is a daybed with a trundle. Melanie and I did that for years and she would just pull the trundle out to sleep on and then during the day we put it back underneath the bed so we had more room to play! You know how small our house was! It worked! Good luck with the next 3 months! :) And if you want to send me your scrapbook stuff, I will gladly take them off of your hands! Ha ha!
Hmmm...Maybe a little nesting would be good at my house. I NEED to get motivated about spring cleaning!!
