Leave me alone, I'm nesting.

Let me just start off by saying..."Poor Dan". He gets the pleasure of coming home every single day to something new that I've organized, or put together for Grace. As soon as he gets home, he gets happily greeted by the dogs, and then if I can muster up the energy to get of the couch I greet him just as happily too! Then I take his arm, drag him in to Grace's nursery, and say..."Look what I did today!" Lucky man, lemme tell ya! Hopefully I can maintain this type of order once she actually gets here!

So my biggest project lately has been getting her closet and clothes all in order. I had to wash all of her new stuff, hang it up on pretty little hangers, and of course organize it all by side. Of course, duh. Who doesn't do that? Well, apparently people have thought I'm nuts for doing so. Here's a little peek!

I can just picture all of my friends really laughing at me right now. Yes, those are little tags that I made that I hung in the closet to organize her clothes by size. And yes, those are MATCHING tags on the boxes to organize miscellaneous things that I don't want all over the place. Also, to answer any questions about clothes for Grace--she has A LOT! I laid off buying the newborn clothes because I knew that's what the majority of people would give her at the shower, so now I think we're good. To quote Dan, "Why does she need so many clothes? She's just going to be in pajamas all the time!" Is he right? Will she? Will she never wear that ridiculously cute dress I got her at Childrens Place? Oh well, if he is right--I've got a couple of drawers full of pj's too! ;)

Enough closet talk! Let's talk about something a little more interesting. 4th of July plans? Dan and I decided to continue a little tradition that goes back one whole year of watching the Red Sox play on the 4th of July weekend. So, who knows where that'll take us next year. Yeah, unless it's in TX or MA I doubt the tradition will continue--but we can dream, right? This is us last year on the 4th of July.

 Anyways so this year we're venturing to the land of humidity and ridiculous amounts of sweat, yes that's Houston. It's about 3 hours away from us and we thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to get a way. Yeah, not sure why I want to get away from a city that I LOVE--but it's okay! Plus, there are no firework shows here in Austin. Boo! And there will be one after the game in Houston! I'm planning on taking lots of pictures while we're there--I've really only been to Houston a couple of times in my life, the 7 hour drive from Abilene deterred me from going there. Oh yea, and the heat. Let's talk about the heat real quick, oh my gosh. Pregnancy has really been great for me thus far, but this heat is just RIDICULOUS! I can't take it, and I feel like all I do is whine about it. Kind of like I am right now. Hmph. Sorry. Remember that pregnancy brain I talked about a few weeks ago? Here it is again. Okay, Red Sox. Yes, I am a Texan. No, I will not be going for the Astros. and Yes, Grace and I are pretty much forced to be fans of all things Boston. EXCEPT the Patriots. I'm a Cowboys fan for life. Sorry lovebug. Dan and I made an agreement that Grace can't wear any Cowboys gear if she can't wear any Patriots gear. We'll see how much Grandpa follows that rule! Maybe this year they'll make it to the Super Bowl. Ha.Ha.

Well, life is good. We're feeling very blessed and very happy at the moment. Here's to Grace hanging out in my belly for another 10 weeks! (Did I seriously just make a toast? Oh man, I need a glass of wine!)
