Operation Sweet Pea

Jun 25, 2011

Due date is six weeks away and there is a good chance Sweet Pea might be a July baby, so yesterday was declared “Operation Sweet Pea” day.

My parents came over and we got to work. My dad worked on outside chores while my mom was on Little Bug duty all day long.

We pulled out the newborn and 0-3 month clothes that I had packed away neatly in bins should be we blessed with another baby girl down the road.

It was Memory Lane going through those bins. I am holding Little Bug’s going home outfit in the picture above! The clothes were so incredibly tiny. You just forget how tiny newborns really are!

Little Bug was a big helper! She threw the clothes in the washing machine! My mom folded all the clothes before she left. I know she enjoyed a trip down Memory Lane as well.

We painted Sweet Pea’s nursery!

The color could not be more perfect thanks to Amanda who picked the color out. It is a pastel purple and I told Dave that I want to paint our bedroom this color because it is so pretty. (That did not go over well. I was only partially kidding.)

Here is the bedding I chose for Sweet Pea’s nursery:

CoCaLo Sugar Plum 6-Piece Crib Bedding Set - Cocalo  - Babies"R"Us

Today was very productive!

When Dave got home he got right to work on things around the house even though he had a headache from a very busy work week. He is pretty awesome, I must say!

A HUGE thank you to my parents, Amanda and Dave for all the help today.

Time is ticking!

The month of June has flown by. I know July is going to fly by.

Sweet Pea is going to be here before we know it.

Nesting has kicked into high-gear.

Yes, adoptive mamas nest too. Smile
