Weekend update- Happy Monday!

What a weekend! I'm going to start with Friday. I made a bunny cake for work which is all too adorable for me not to share here. My mom used to make one with us and although I'm pretty sure she used candy to decorate his cute face, I took the easy way out and just used gel frosting and sprinkles.



The bunny is so easy to make. It's only two round cakes with one for his face and the second you cut the bow from the middle of the cake and voila! Bunny ears. :) The whole pregnancy klutzyness didn't help me while baking though and I dropped one of the round cakes... Grrr. So I made a second round cake and decided to do cupcakes with the rest of the batter :)

Last weekend before baby comes...

Wow. This is our final weekend before ohBaby comes. To try to cram things in and get everything that needs to be done before his arrival, here's another amazing list that I probably won't finish... gah!
First of all, I've got a baby shower on Saturday at 2 and Easter Brunch with some friends on Sunday morning. In the meantime, we have to also pick out and buy a new TV stand for the TV mom got us for Christmas [Thanks mom! :)] as well as FINALLY make it out to another friends house to pick up the rocker she is giving us. So... time is already shortened with those running around activities.
Little C's Room
-Clean his tub/bathroom
-Dust his shades and vaccum once more
-Fix the bumper (Big C has to do this because my belly is in the way)
-Sew the ribbons on the mobile so it'll hang properly
-Finish my last DIY project for him
-Last load of baby laundry (towels, washclothes etc.)
Home Cleaning
-I gave in and scheduled someone to come out on Monday to clean our house. Little C's room and the Mancave/guestroom don't need as much attention since we don't often use those rooms (yet) and they will basically be doing the living room, dining room, kitchen, our bedroom, and 2 bathrooms. So I'll just have to do some little stuff ahead of time, like...
-Cleaning out the cabinets (need to make room for some bottles, the formula samples we have etc)
-Would like to clean out the older stuff from the cabinets and make sure there are no crumbs
-Clean out the inside of the fridge and make room for some extra stocking up of groceries
-Wash, dry and iron the couch covers. I may just take them off Sunday night so that the cleaning people can get all the crumbs and stuff from whatever is hiding in the couch
-Spot clean whatever is left upstairs on the rug
-Plant something in the pot in front of the house. I'm thinking the snapdragons because they are hardy and I have a hard time killing them :)
Baby Stuff
-Need to pick up a bottle drying rack
-Possibly need to pick up the stroller converter bar so we can put his car seat in the stroller
-Install the car seat

Happy Monday!

Whoops! I started writing this and never posted it... sorry for the late post!

Oh, look. It's Monday again. 10 more sales days left in this month. Not that it means I'm only working for the next 10 business days, but it does mean I'm only working my tail off for the next 10 days. After that, I can kind of relax because we'll officially be on baby watch. So, here's your Monday Motivation!!

Another weekend of "nesting" and preparing for our little dudes arrival.

Household

-Vaccumed rugs upstairs and spot cleaned half of the puppy spots up stairs. Need to go back next weekend and finish the hallway and then it can be considered DONE!

-Mommy bought flowers to plant outside. When I found out I was pregnant, I kind of had a vision of decorating the house for Easter and planting flowers so that everything would be so pretty and perfect when we brought baby home... And I can't believe I'm doing just that. :)

-Bathe dogs

-Washed our sheets and sewed buttons back onto the duvet that the dog likes to eat.

Little C's Room

-Yes, we went to Ikea on Saturday and it was quite possibly the fastest trip there ever! We walked in around 10:30, made a beeline straight to the dresser, picked it up, went through self checkout and were on our way home 20 minutes later. Sunday, Daddy put the second dresser together and now the furniture is complete!

-Hung wall clings. The look adorable! I can't wait to take full pictures of the finished room for little man <3
-Organize clothes and put most away in drawers. I'm waiting on a second package from my mom with more hangers. My thought was to wash all the clothes without tags since we won't be returning those and hanging up several sizes in the closet for easy grabbing. I separated the newborn clothes and didn't wash any of those as I don't think our little guy will ever be that little... but we'll see. I hung 0-3 mos, 3 mos, 3-6 mos, and 6 mos clothes. Still have a few more to hang once the hangers arrive.

Other Stuff
-Shipped 1 hoodie. I'm still keeping my shop closed for a bit because I have some personal orders I want to finish. They keep getting bumped back with my shop orders. As of today (Wednesday, sorry for the delayed posting) I have one more hoodie to make and my shop will be caught up to date. whew!
-Wrote and sent thank yous for my work shower. Printed about half of the ones for my first shower and only wrote 3. Need to work on those this weekend and get them out!
-Put my license plate on the mommy mobile ;)
-Started packing hospital bag. So far I have a pair of yoga pants, 2 of little C's coming home outfit options, and a towel. haha. I need to "make that a priority this weekend..." says my husband. Think he's getting nervous yet? :)
