Project Overload

I think I'm a little more ambitious then I should be when it comes to projects...especially when I'm pregnant.
When I was pregnant with Payton I made him blankets, burp clothes, hats, binki clips, and went all out decorating his room.
So this time around, I thought i'd do the same thing...for each baby.
I guess I forgot I have a 2 year old.

Even still, I have been busy getting some of my projects done.

I have completed a few blankets for them.
My favorite are the minki ones with the little tabs of ribbon around the outside. They are SO soft and warm. I love the colors, and how they each will have their own.
I have made 4 recieveing blankets and am working on crocheting around them. (only 3 are in the picture). I have stuck to a color theme. One of the boys will get all the blue, and the other all the green. Sometimes the fronts are the exact same, with different fabric on the back.
I have made a few burp clothes. I learned with Payton that the homemade ones just weren't absorbent enough for my projectile puker. So I used cloth diapers, not so cute. I will anticipate the same problems with reflux and puking for these two, so heavier duty burp clothes are a must. I found a cute idea to make plain white cloth diapers look much cuter by putting a panel of material down the middle. Here is a picture of some of the ones I saw online. I hope mine turn out as cute!I have made a small dent in my list of projects.
Here is a pile of ongoing things!

This week should be project central at our house!
Devry comes home tonight (YAY!)
Tomorrow we will get to work on our bedroom.
OUR bedroom? Really...yes I did take on the project of redoing our bedroom as well.
I am sick of it.
We painted it a deep rhubarb red about 3 years ago.
It wasn't really intentional. I had chosen the color to do an accent wall in another room, then changed my mind. Understandably, Devry was not too thrilled with the fact that we spent money on a gallon of red paint that I no longer wanted to use.
So when it came time to choose a color for our bedroom....guess what it had to be, since we already spent the money...rhubarb red.
I really don't mind the COLOR.
I HATE how dark it is though.
The room feels so closed in and dark.
I need a light, clean, bright feeling bedroom.
So after 3 years, I FINALLY get to re-do my bedroom!

Here is my bedroom now. So dark.

The plan:
Light, sky blue walls
White trim.
White bedding
Blue accent pillows
White curtains
White picture frames.
A clean, serene feeling room of blue and white.
I CAN'T WAIT!
I also get white crown molding, all the doors repainted, and some electrical repairs. What a wonderful husband I have!
Hopefully it will help me better enjoy the hours I spend in here with my two little babies.

Also this week:
The Nursery.
I have thrown around so many ideas for the nursery, and finally have found what I want.
Blue, Green and Tan, with a jungle animal theme.
I can't wait to see how it turns out!

And last but not least, my list of projects I will be working on over the next several weeks

• Car seat covers
• more burp clothes
• Bumper pads
• crib skirt
• A couple more blankets
  
• Names for their wall
• curtains
• Decorations for their room

should be fun!

28 week Dr's appointment tomorrow! It's a busy one with my glucose test, hgb level, and rhogam shot. I will also have an ultrasound to measure their growth. I'll post pictures soon!
Happy Sunday!
