I hope you have that time too :)Michelle Fluttering Butterflieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793681725475475156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-29141347474227784052010-08-11T21:41:58.978-05:002010-08-11T21:41:58.978-05:00Before I had kids, I was a complete clean freak--v...Before I had kids, I was a complete clean freak--vacuum lines on the carpet had to be straight kind of neat freak and still I spent the last two months before he was born finding things to clean. <br /><br />Good luck with moving the boys together. Mine were together for almost a year and a half before we moved to a bigger house--in no small part because they would not go to sleep at night. They loved being together and talking...and talking...Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05554217416500328610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-50008560788505776232010-08-08T07:23:56.210-05:002010-08-08T07:23:56.210-05:00With all three of mine, I nest from the time the s...With all three of mine, I nest from the time the stick shows the purple lines. We declutter and clean our entire house. It gets worse the closer they get here, though. <br /><br />I have 2.5 months to go with my third and last baby. So, I have to finish the organization projects that are underway soon. <br /><br />It really is something that takes over. I am not sure why my linen closet HAS to get organized before my boy's arrival. But it just does. <br /><br />Paper plates. That is so going on my list. <br /><br />I wasn't ready for the first one since he came early. The second one came early as well, but I was prepared for him to come early. This one I am moving my countdown date to when I expect him to be here. That way, no surprises, right?Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503988003529913624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-53680701652093617752010-08-07T16:19:13.156-05:002010-08-07T16:19:13.156-05:00I never got to nest properly (everyone kept screwi...I never got to nest properly (everyone kept screwing up my cleaning), but we did manage to set up a nice baby area in our bedroom, and hopefully one of these days we'll even be able to move into a bigger place so Greyson will have his own space!<br /><br />Enjoy the preparations!Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05220718933942181809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-5502761247775687032010-08-06T21:23:35.192-05:002010-08-06T21:23:35.192-05:00Lisa- I went on a bit of a cleaning spree before ...Lisa- I went on a bit of a cleaning spree before all 3 of my babies. I was on a chair cleaning the dust off of the top of my fans with my first. Such a smart move on my part :) But seriously, you've been through this before. Everything will work itself out and you really don't need to worry about everything being perfect. I hope everything goes smoothly for you these last couple of weeks and that you get some sleep while you can. Good luck! And make sure you share lots of pics :)samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-9180052730218803872010-08-06T16:43:27.909-05:002010-08-06T16:43:27.909-05:00Ha, this sounds so much like me!

Also, isn't it hilarious how paper plates are on our list of required baby items? I'm pretty sure I didn't think of that the first time around, but it is on my list now for sure. I'm terrible at clutter control, so I have to keep inviting people over to dinner so I clean to neaten up. Sad but true! Also facing the "where will baby go" dilemma, and I know what the answer is, but I am not ready to face that my quilting room will have to go *pout*Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07309501483266246859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35142878.post-85496949319159373432010-08-05T22:11:25.819-05:002010-08-05T22:11:25.819-05:00I'm a bit of a nut about clutter but I was eve...I'm a bit of a nut about clutter but I was even more of a nut right before each of my kids came.

My first was big enough to quite a few chores for me plus keep his own stuff put away.
