No longer 20 weeks...

But in this picture I was. I am now 22 weeks. But who's counting? Is it April yet???? I was sick with the H1N1 virus during this time...fun thing to have when you're pregnant. The kids are I were all sick and happy to say it is all in the past now.
The 2nd trimester has definitely brought with it a renewed sense of energy. I don't remember feeling this way with my other pregnancies but let' see....last time I was pregnant with twins, no extra energy there and the 1st time, well, I think it's safe to say that I milked that situation and swore I needed a nap everyday. I mean I was pregnant for heaven's sake. Of course now with 3 little ones running around, a nap is a wish that cannot be granted. So thankfully I have been blessed with energy. In addition to all this added energy is nesting. Holy smokes! My whole house is being attacked by my desire for organization. So much in fact that I took on a painting project. I decided the playroom needed some color. I painted the entire thing by myself.
Actually I had a few little helpers.I added a magnetic chalkboard to one side of the room.And added some vinyl stickers.
Tyler said he was proud of me for the work I did but said "You sure made a huge mess." Let's just be happy it got done without any carpet damage and leave it at that....thank you!
Our dining room began screaming for color too so I painted that also.Next projects are the kid's room to make a place for our new little man.
I am extremely grateful for my family. Grateful we are all safe, healthy, and have the things we need. We feel very blessed and super excited to have this little boy come to our family.

Fun ideas in the play room. Funny that changing a few things can make all the difference :) I'm starting to get that nesting feeling too...but not to the extreme of painting :D You go girl!
