Life, the boys & nesting

I feel like I have been a blog slacker lately.  I hate that.  But most days I find myself napping when the boys nap, or scarfing my lunch on the couch while watching reruns of Jon & Kate Plus 8.  {I miss them.}

I think I have also been blog slacking because I am just such a jumble of emotions.  Between the pregnancy hormones, the idea of having three children (!!!), and the awareness of days passing & leading us to Josh's inevitable departure- I'm a wreck!

I have high highs- imagining what Wyatt must look like, remembering how sweet it is to have a newborn, wondering what it'll be like to have a singleton; and I have low lows- where Josh holding my hand leads to total meltdown because I think of the days when he won't be here to hold it, hysterical sobbing as I imagine Logan & Jack asking where daddy is and why we can't see him... You get the picture.

So I've kind of been avoiding sorting through my feelings because they are just so erratic.  Instead of blogging, I've just been hanging out with the family.

He was worn out today. We spent the morning looking at pre-schools for the fall, and the afternoon at the school where Josh spent this week subbing.  They enjoyed both the pre-schools & the elementary school. They even brought their backpacks like big kids.  And desperately wanted to ride the school buses this afternoon!

Here Logan is putting on his sunglasses. He will wear them forever. It always impresses me.

The last few days have been so sunny out. We have been taking full advantage, riding bikes & scooters outside, going to the park & just enjoying every cloud free moment!

Along with hanging out with my kids, I've been nesting like mad.  This is Wyatt's "spot" in our bedroom.  My friend Brittany loaned me this adorable bassinet.

My friend Juli made the WYATT banner- I love it!

My nesting has mostly manifested itself in load after load of laundry. 



Swaddlers, washcloths, towels, changing pads, receiving blankets, sheets, burp rags, and all of his clothes.

 

And after the laundry was the folding, sorting & organizing.  It was so fun to see all the little baby clothes, especially the ones that were Logan & Jack's.  Such sweet memories!

I am thankful for this little baby to keep me distracted from what is coming up.  Change is hard for me, and I think that's why God keeps putting it in my path.  Someday I will embrace change... and until then I am taking one day at a time!
