Last week my "nesting" went into overdrive and I dove into a few home projects around the house that I've been dreaming about doing for months (maybe years). I took the pregnancy nesting drive to get me motivated! First I installed a silver tin metal looking backsplash in the kitchen behind the oven. Then I put up new drawers pulls and cabinet knobs throughout the kitchen cabinets. We didn't have any before so that was a lot of drilling but I'm very happy with them and the backsplash. I'm slowly trying to bring our kitchen out of the 80's. And I did it all by myself too so I'm extra proud of my work! I also hung pictures of Nicholas in our hallway ("The Wall of Nicholas" I am now calling it). After getting his 2 year pictures made, there were just so many pictures of him so I decided to organize them to one wall showing his progression from baby to now. And after the baby is here, he'll get the opposite wall. We definitely need a bigger house to display all of these pictures as the kids continue to grow! And the last project that I started was picking out the paint for Nick's big boy room. Unfortunately Graham hurt his back last week so he wasn't able to paint yet. Hopefully soon we'll be able to get that done too and soon Nick will make his transition.
On Saturday, I went out to meet some friends for some volunteer work and the boys were getting a day of Daddy/son time together. They ended up spending the entire day without me as I was in a minor car accident. I was so thankful that I didn't have Nicholas in the car with me and that myself and the baby weren't hurt. The accident turned into a hit and run as the teenage boys in the car fled the scene. I spent the afternoon and evening in the hospital being checked out by Labor and Delivery just to make sure that Baby G was ok. My sweet mom stayed with me through the whole thing so that Graham could be home with Nicholas. One little gift from all that was the opportunity to be hooked up to the monitors and hear the baby's heartbeat and all of this movements for many hours. He is one strong baby with a super strong heartbeat and he just loves to wiggle and kick and dance in there. It's amazing how much you can love someone that you've never even seen before! I am praising God for his protection and care throughout everything on Saturday. God is so good and so faithful!
