The big boys are doing great with their combined room and we are getting into the groove of new bedtime and wake-up time routines. Lochlan has been super confused going to bed and isn't quite convinced about this sleep downstairs idea, he has a pretty good setup upstairs. BUT he is so proud of himself each morning when he wakes up in his big boy bed. AunDee made him a new sheet and pillowcase for his bed to match brothers, so that is a happy upgrade for him. I got Killian's red dresser painted and moved into their room, he loves it! I'm going to try and put some contact paper on the back side side some of it is visible over the love seat but other than that their room is ready to rock and roll.
I've started trying to organize and then clean the tiny baby clothes. Such a mountain of onsies!!! But with 2 months to go I feel confident it will be in a good spot when new one arrives. I want to give the nursery room a deep cleaning and then a slight makeover to make it personalized for this baby. I'm going with vintage/baby animal circus theme. Still using the primary colors and bright and happy.
My big goals right now are as follows:
2. wash and pull out everything baby (car seats, sleepers, boppies, bottles, etc.)
3. look at registry to start ordering essentials #3 Amazon List
4. deep clean nursery and raise the crib mattress
5. get new car seat(s) for Lochlan pending Target trade in event
6. pack my bag for the hospital
7. workout details of care after baby/emergency pickups with daycare
8. continue the name game with Kyle, big brothers aren't being as "helpful" with names as we hoped but we will get there ;-)
Not a horrible list but I'm sure it is not all inclusive. There are PLENTY of other projects that I need/want to get done before little one arrives but prioritization needs my attention, in other words, an after baby to do list is already forming in my head. (travel plans, room makeovers, physical fitness journey, meal planning/prepping, etc.) it never ends in this brain of mine.
For now, here are some updated bump pictures and some current pictures of the big boys.
