PG - 16 Weeks 1 Days - Nesting Weekend

We had a great productive weekend at home. Leo, Phoebe and I all focused on cleaning on Saturday. It took about 3 hours, but it really needed it. I haven't tried to clean since my scare in the beginning of January. I've done a little here and there, but I really love a clean house. I then turned my attention to fully getting caught up on laundry. I think there were about 6 - 8 loads of laundry that needed to be done. The last one was finished after church on Sunday. We relaxed a lot on Sunday, getting caught up on some TV that we recorded. We recorded the miniseries, The Last Templar, that was on the other week. It was really good. Leo made a pot of Chicken Tortilla Soup that was so yummy!!!! Sunday evening, I started tackling Phoebe's playroom as she had friends over all day and I wanted to let them have fun without me hanging around. I'd say about 75% of Phoebe's playroom is now in her bedroom closet in organized bins. I'm hoping to finish it during evenings this week. So all in all, I think nesting is in perfect bloom right now. Which is good for now, since later I know I'll have a harder time moving around.

And on a baby update - tomorrow I have my four month checkup at the OB office tomorrow (Tuesday) morning and my next ultrasounds is on 2/23, when hopefully we'll find out what we are having, so we can get lots of preparations done ahead of time.

Ooooh You find out before I do! I'm jealous! hehe...

I wish I was in nesting mode.. then maybe the laundry would be folded in a day rather than in weeks.. haha

Glad to hear you are doing well! Can't wait to hear more about the babies!

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
