What a weekend!

Oh we all had a great time on the big "girl's weekend." I would write about everything we did, but Steph already did a great job of that on her blog and frankly, I am lazy about typing. So go here if you wish to hear the details. http://www.adayintheschulteshome.blogspot.com/
So anyway enough of that then. Steph sent a lot of baby clothes and goodies home with me so as soon as I got home I went thorough all of them and took out all the clothes that a boy or girl could wear. Washed them all and then hung them all up on little tiny baby hangers I had got. It was so fun! Then I decided I just had to get the mattress for the crib so I went to wal-mart and got that along with a crib sheet and got the mattress covered with the plastic cover, put the sheet on and put mom's quilt she made me over it along with a little stuffed animal. It was once again, so fun! I swear I clean that nursery every other day just to "play" in it. Wish it was that fun cleaning the rest of the house.
Then Monday John and I decided we would go pick out the paint for the last rooms we wanted to paint in the new house. Anyone that knows me knows I am obsessed with painting. I love having color on the wall and doing lots of stenciling and faux finishes etc. We have already painted all the rooms except the hallways and the kitchen, living room and 4th bedroom. So 7 gallons of paint and 4 colors later we get home. So then we had the painting bug so we proceeded to paint the living room until 9 at night. LOL! So now our house will be so chaotic until we are done with all the rooms. But it will be nice to have the whole house done before the baby gets here and I get really big and miserable.
Speaking of baby, Sunday and last night I had really big strong movements. Over and over. I swear I am sure you could have seen my belly move up and down. It is like the baby is flipping in there and pushing out my belly. It was way cool, poor John missed both. This will just be another way for him to insist it is a boy. Saying it is "really strong." Yeah ok. He always says he when referring to the baby. I told him he needs to stop that or if it is a girl she will come out with gender identification issues. I guess I call the baby it so that isn't much better. Should be about the size of a large sweet potato now so I guess that is a pretty decent size. Baby center gives the weirdest descriptions. Well we are really busy again this week so I better do some work today.
