I officially have Spring "fever"! This nice weather we are having is getting me in the mood for sweatshirts not winter coats. Today it is raining out.......I LOVE IT!!! Peyton is down for a nap and Reagan and I are cuddling on the couch watching "Elmo's Street" (her words) and she is giving hugs to the baby (my belly). She is such a little lover and a little mommy. :) She will definitely be a great helper when LINCOLN DAVID shows up. Yep.....that is the name we have picked and I absolutely love it. That is part of the other reason I have Spring fever.... I can't wait to meet this little boy who kicks me constantly and makes me so uncomfortable :)
Kev and I finally got down to business and we rearranged our house to make room for Lincoln. We moved his office from the front room in the house to the basement. Then we moved our bedroom to the front room and finally made our old room Lincoln's room. Yesterday we set up the crib for him, brought the dresser in from the garage, and moved the rocking chair from Peyton's room to his room. Peyton never used the rocking chair.....she hated being rocked as a baby. She wanted to be left alone in her crib with her own space. :) I love that about her. All I have to do is just put her in her crib and she is good to go, no crying or anything.
I forgot to mention the reasoning behind all this rearranging. Well, Reagan is definitely not ready for a roommate. Every time we are at my parents she sleeps in the bedroom with one of us. At around 2:30am or so she wakes up and realizes that someone is in there with her. She then starts to talk to you, poke you in the face, or lay on you......pretty much whatever she can do to wake you up. Oh, and she still sporadically cries throughout the night. So having Peyton in there would be a DISASTER!!! The other reason is that Peyton is a light sleeper so Reagan's crying has been known to wake her up in their own, separate rooms. Can you imagine them sharing a room? Not only would I not get any sleep with the new baby, but I would be getting up double the amount dealing with them. So drastic measures had to be taken :)
The other exciting news is that my cousin Chelsey called and told me she wanted to throw me a baby shower. I was so excited because #1 You usually don't get a shower for the 3rd baby and #2 I want so many things for this little guy that I couldn't possibly afford it :) It was a total answer to prayer and I am truly grateful for her!
Well, that is my news for now. I'm off to bake some chocolate chip cookies on this rainy day. Doesn't that sound perfect??? :)
