Heading into the Homestretch!

All of our pantry on the kitchen table.
Showing off the belly

Kif helping to empty it out...found things we didn't know we had, although he likes pears so this is just an overwhelmed face, nothing to do with what he is holding.

About to begin the organization...26.5 weeks, this angle is not true to actual size of baby belly:)
Yikes!
My work here is done!!
This week marks the start of the third trimester!  I thought that this pregnancy would feel so much longer than the last because I am not working full time but surprisingly it has gone much faster.  Today I finally tackled our pantry.  Since about 2 weeks after we moved in, it has been in complete disarray and I have ended up buying items that I later found hidden at the back of the pantry.  This fall I was in survival mode with feeling sick and not knowing anyone in the community, so I kept pushing jobs like this back.  The sunny weather outside mixed with my nesting instincts brought Spring cleaning on a little early (also the fact that it was a million degrees below and I didn't want to actually venture outside today). Some exciting finds amidst my cleaning were canned peaches from mom that I had totally forgotten about and a whole bunch of candy and chocolate from various events throughout the year.  I had to keep Kristin's voice in the back of my mind reminding me how many times I had already moved the same packages of tea from house to house...needless to say, the pantry is also a little more empty.  Anyways, here are the pictures of today's adventure as well as some updated pictures of the baby belly.  I'm hoping this nesting continues and all my closets are organized by June :)

  1. Yay for a post! Can't wait to see the pictures too :) I love how it's my voice in your head while cleaning your pantry (not sure if that's a good thing).
