So when I say we're ready, I mean that our house is ready and I'm pretty sure we have enough little baby girl stuff to get this show on the road. In the last couple months, Brent and I changed our "office" into a playroom with changes like a red slipcover on the couch, a new IKEA play kitchen and colorful toy storage and some IKEA rugs. Oh yah, and we painted the room yellow... too fun! I'm hoping this will be a nice haven for Noah when he is adjusting to sharing life/mom & dad with his baby sister.

Also, we have our room setup for baby as well as she will likely be in it for a few months. We had to move some shelves into it from the office and though it could have looked cramped, it seemed to make our room look more complete. And you know those last minute pregnancy nesting urges?? Well, two days ago I cleaned out the garage while Noah napped including breaking down a lot of boxes... all things that weren't super great for my body to be doing at this stage especially with all the back/pelvic pain. Oh well, at least it finally got cleaned cuz it was bugging me for months. And the best part of I guess what you could call major nesting would be paying to have people clean the house yesterday morning. I really think it is a great idea to do right before or soon after a baby is born since a very pregnant mamma cannot exactly do deap cleaning well (at least not this one) and who has time for that with a newborn? Either way, a good investment all around for at least my sanity.

So come over and visit when you all get into town as my house is clean and thoroughly nested out. :)

As far as logistics go, my mom will be spending the night tonight and Friday at our house to watch Noah with her coming Friday morning with him to hang out for a while. Well, I guess I do have a lot of last minute stuff to do and am trying to give Noah lot's of one on one attention so I better get to it.

Even though we won't officially be staying with everyone at the lake this month, we are very excited to see and visit with everyone. Can't wait to see all the out-of-town Stinches!

Love you all!
