As I had hoped, I woke today feeling quite a bit better. Jim let me sleep in and, bonus, when I came downstairs I discovered that he was nearly done cleaning the basement (thank you little list). Score! The only problem is that he can't do everything that he wants to do because we are in limbo land with baby #3. High chair - keep or donate? Same with the infant toys, the toddler toys, a stroller, a booster seat, baby bath, tubs and tubs of toddler clothes. In the end, he organized everything nicely but the reminders are around every corner.
This evening after the kids were finally quiet in bed we both dove into cleaning our respective "catch all" cupboards (again, thank you little list). This house does have a fair amount of storage which is both a blessing and a curse. There were things that I just couldn't bring myself to get rid of because maybe, hopefully, I will need them in the future. Same for Jim... it's around every corner. It's not a "bad" thing, it's just the way it is and I'm ok with that. I suppose I will always be reminded of Eli which is also ok and in a way, actually makes me happy.

Kristi~ As my due date draws closer I am finding it less scarry. If that makes any sense. But I do catch myself thinking "I should..." every once in awhile. Then I remind myself that I am exactly where I am supposed to be.
I would keep everything. Actually I have kept everything, even if we dont use it, you can always donate it later. Not something that has to be done right now.
So happy the list are doing their job, thats great!
