Nesting and A Name!

The past few days have been really busy and it's all because I'm nesting. Suddenly I felt this *urgency* to get a bunch of things done around the house. I haven't even been able to nap when Lily does because I've wanted to take advantage of the time that she's sleeping to get more done! I'm really tired but I feel driven! Here are just a few things I've been doing the past couple days:
  • Bought and hung a new shower curtain liner
  • *Thoroughly* cleaned both bathrooms
  • Vacuumed
  • Uploaded pictures to the computer and then to the Creative Memories Photo Center website and copied them to a CD for safekeeping
  • Ordered A LOT of photos - I was several months behind - including doubles for Grandmas
  • Lots of laundry
  • Grocery shopping
  • Placed a CM order and drove all the way out there to pick it up
  • Wrote a letter to Shinta and mailed it to her
  • Two trip to the bank to make deposits - yay!
  • Got a shelf hung in Lily's room (Andy did most of the work - he has way more patience than I do with that sort of thing)
  • Got a few things hung in the baby's room (Again - Andy was really helpful here)

I'm sure I'm forgetting something but that's just a sampling of what I've been up to the past couple days. :) I should mention that Andy did get the baby's room painted while Lily and I were gone last weekend! It looks really good and we're really pleased with the color.

And, I think we have a name picked out! It's such a miracle, really. Maybe a week ago or so Andy mentioned a name to me and I thought to myself, "I really like that. That could work." It makes me really excited because I had been praying that God would bring us to a name without either of us having to campaign for it or having to persuade the other. We talked about it again last night and both of us still really like it. So we'll just try it out for awhile and see how it feels. It's really nice to have something to call him besides Baby. I almost feel giddy about it today. :)
