things i accomplished this week(in no particular order) -- yeah for LONG naps (for aidan) and late nights (for me):
after i showed robby the bathroom ... i mean c'mon people i was pretty proud of it ... he commented, "but the question is, how long will it stay like this?!" ... OOOOO ... motivation, now i have to prove him wrong, so i'm gonna try to keep the counters clutter free!!
...
next ... my bedroom completely cleaned and reorganized. there were just piles of CRAP everywhere (i've noticed i have WAY too much clothing, maybe after #2 pops out i'll try to get rid of some of it!!) ... where in the world was #2 gonna sleep? so it needed to be done. i think it looks a million times better, and i'm really proud of all that i accomplished.
...
this is the left side of our bed ... yikes!! when i got out of bed after it was all cleaned it immediately brought a smile to my face, what a great way to wake up in the morning!!
this is the right side of our bed! (the storage bins now hold all the clothing that i want to go through -- 3 of them (i have a stack of 3 more on top of those ... waiting for organizing baby things), and 2 of them (on the left) hold knit clothing that no longer fits robby or me and will be turned into other things via my trusty serger!!)
when aidan woke up this morning and ran into my room to play, he was disappointed when he saw the bins ... he couldn't get into anything anymore. poor kid!! haha! those 2 rolling drawer carts hold all of what we have for #2 right now. organized and ready to clothe her when she pops out!! now all we need is something in here for her to sleep in. and i'm gonna try to get robby to move the changing table back into our bedroom, hopefully that happens on saturday.
...
and this is behind my bedroom door, i LOVE this. my nice (church) shoes all lined up in the pockets and my jewelry ready to be worn. it makes me soooo happy! 
this is front of robby's side of the closet. as you can tell it needs reorganizing, but i'm leaving that to him (well at least i'm hoping he'll take care of it!)
this is my pile of laundry that still needs to be done ... YIKES!! (this pile has since shrunk since i took the picture ... but there are still probably 3 more loads to do -- definately more managable)
this is on top of rob's dresser ... it just seems to accumulate all kinds of crap!!! (all of which is mine ... not his)
our headboard ... another dumping ground!!

Go, Jodi, Go! I have to say, the before pics our downright scary and remind me of Abby and Claire's room- also scary! But, I can tell you put a lot of work and effort and you can really see a big difference- now, hte secret is to maintain. I also cleaned out my closet this week- but I didnt think to take pics- should have, it was a huge difference- took me all day- but it is the size of a small room and has a bunch of my project crap on top of that... yikes. ANYWAY, sorry, longwinded post- but great job! And I can't believe it's only four more weeks- it sure went fast (for me)--- I bet more nesting is to come, I got more done those last weeks than the whole rest of my pregnancies, including moving furniture among other crazy things- probably not a good idea by the way.
Nice! Definitely an improvement. The hard part is definitely maintaining it now that it's done. Every time Amanda and I do a big clean, we say: "now we just have to keep it this way." but it never happens, oh well, we still don't have that much stuff!
Good job Jodi .... how about some cute belly pics??? Are you registered anywhere???
Wow! I love seeing those transformations! Also, great job with all the sewing! I love how you are using old shirts and materials you already have! I am jelouse of all the time you have to sew. I think I have to buy the kids halloween costumes this year, beause there is just no time and that makes me very sad:(
you go girl! Can you come and nest at my house? I need some organizing done!
Good work! Wow, only 4 more weeks to go!!
That's a big difference! I bet it feels good.
Hello nesting mama! Just wanted to let you know that YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Wow, you have been BUSY! Kudos for not using being pregnant as an excuse, and actually doing it!! Especially at 36 weeks!
Wow you are a brave women to put those pictures up!!! And the re-organize looks fab!! Good job! Not to be a pessimist but enjoy it now. Once #2 pops out, as you put it, there goes all the time for cleaning and organizing. My baby is 3 and I feel like I'm finally getting to a place where I can keep on top of it all. Good luck! :)
