I was having a hard time falling asleep last night, thinking about what things I still need to get done before Isabella arrives. Here is my to do list and I have approximately 8 weeks to complete it:
1. Complete baby books for following children: Karizma, Walker, Christian, Zack
2. Complete baby photo albums for following children: Karizma. Walker, Christian, Zack (Hmm...seeing a pattern here?)
3. Complete the embroidered quilt I started for Walker, (back when I was pregnant with him, and meant to finish it for him, but then for Christian, but then for Zack) for Isabella
4. Take everything out of kitchen cabinets and pantry and reorganize it ALL
5. Go through the boys dressers and closets and put away winter clothing and then go through the summer boxes and put all their summer clothing away in dressers and closets
6. Transfer all home movies to DVD...dating all the way back to when Miguel was a baby (1993)
7. Paint the bathroom in the hallway, maybe even the bedrooms, hmm...the kitchen might need it, too
8. Sell the 2 boxes of things, I have been carting around for almost 2 years, on Ebay
9. This next one is a must!!! Get a facial and some spa time before the baby comes, because once Bella is here me time will no longer exsist
10. Figure out how to use my sewing machine, which has been in my closet for over 2 years, and make Isabella a welcome home outfit
Undoable in 8 weeks time? Wondering how I will finish some of the items on the list that have been on my to-do list for 16 years? So am I..... So, I guess I better get to it. But, first I am going to go do the MOST important thing I wanted to put on my list, but saved for last, spend time with my munchkins, doing nothing but cuddling and watching saturday morning cartoons. Now, THAT is time well spent!!

When I saw the title of this blog I was eager to read it! You're my organizing twin... I love to organize and reorganize things all the time. I'm sure it will look absolutely beautiful when you're done!
Don't forget to let someone else do the painting for you. I'm sure Isabella would not like the smell of paint fumes. ;)
Love you dearly!
Don't worry Veronica...you're not alone. I still haven't ever finished the embroidered quilt that
I was working on...er' wait a minute!
Hmmm... sounds like my to-do list when I was nesting, which you obviously are ;). I was always so thankful when my nesting urges kicked in. Who knows how I ever would have gotten ready for the next baby otherwise.
I don't even know where to start, I should probably fill in the the blanks to the last 3 baby books. It's only till age 5 thankfully I have lots of pictures of all of them but the quilt making, I leave that up to Omi.
I know you could get everything done on that list. That'll help pass the time too
Okay, I loved your list...but it stressed me out. I need to help. How about we have a little "baby album" making day? You, me, Natalie and ALL my Creative Memories stuff. How does May 8th sound?
Facil! just ask mom to teach you how to use the machine! It's easy! she taught, y en un dos por tres, I learned how!!!
