Yikes! Time is flying by! I can't believe I am almost 37 weeks. I am so excited to see this little one.
A few weeks ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do/ get done before she comes! Some things I've done, some I still need to do!
1. Top of the list-
Mom and Maylee play dates: Maylee is so cute with new babies but I know there will be a little jealousy when the little babe arrives, so I have been trying to take her fun places while I can. We won't have this special one-on-one time very often anymore. So-
We hit up the
Children's Museum of Phoenix (one of my favorite places!) the end of April.
(She loved "painting" on the rocks and the grocery store. This time they also had a new room with tents and forts. I thought it was so cool, but Maylee doesn't look too convinced in this picture!)
We were also lucky enough to go to the
zoo with some friends a couple of months ago and again with Grammie when she came down this past weekend.

(Grammie tried to help Maylee be brave and "touch" the goats. She wasn't so sure about the idea this trip! She'd run up, touch it with her fingertips, then run away!)

2.
Quiet Book for church: I've gotten a few pages done so far. It is A LOT of WORK, but I have enjoyed learning some new skills on the machine and getting the practice. I have done a few pages with my mom, which I think makes the Quiet Book even better... something the kids will cherish. I still have more pages to do, but some can wait. :)
3.
Dejunk the house: In progress- still working on it (isn't it always a work in progress?!)
4.
Get baby clothes ready: I pulled out some stuff Maylee had... most of it seems okay. Had to get rid of a few outfits since Maylee spit up pretty bad when she was little, but most survived! Of course I might go and pick up a few new onsies (she can't have all hand-me-downs, right!) :)
5.
Finish Maylee's 1 year book: How sad it isn't done yet and she is almost 2! I'm about 1/2 way there.
6.
Maylee's birthday presents: Maylee's birthday is a week and a half after my due date. I know I won't be up for shopping the closer it gets, so I am trying to get it done now. I got her a little kitchen (which I want to repaint and fix up) and some kitchen accessories. I know she will love it!
7.
Freezer meals: I would like to have some go-to meals in the freezer when this little ones arrives. I got some cookbooks from the library. I noted the dairy and egg free recipes. Time to get cooking!
It helps to write it all down- I feel like I've gotten a lot done, but have also realized I still have a lot to do. I better get going! Too bad I'm running out of energy :)
