Getting ready for baby

Tanner and I both had some sort of nesting instincts today. Although I'm on house arrest (see posting below), I'm not on strict bed rest. So it's okay for me to fulfill some of these nesting-related needs.

I guess Tanner's behaviors maybe weren't brought on by hormones and motherly instincts, but instead his love for our big garage and warm fall days. He spent much of the day winterizing things, cleaning lil' white car, etc. He also helped a friend build a shed. Such a handy man! I hosed down some window screens, dusted, cleaned bathrooms, swept inside and and a little outside, vacuumed up those annoying lady bug animals, and took a really loooooong nap. Sigh. It was lovely. The most fun activity of the day, though, was washing some of baby g's items. All of the adorable onesies, sleepers, and hats are ready to be worn! The cradle sheets are ready to be slept on! The changing pads are ready to be pooped on!

That does not mean we're totally ready for baby, though...baby needs to get a little bigger yet, and mommy and daddy need to attend baby class these next two weeks.

Here's Hannah trying out her baby g cousin's cradle:
