The one where I let my OCD shine threw

Hi Everyone! So I know it's been like a month since i posted but you know how it is since most of you are incredible, yet busy people who have children.
Just a quick update -
Addie: So adorable (as always.) I do believe that Speech is already her main mode of communication now - I guess she is a Watson ;)
She like to pretend to be asleep even though her eyes are wide open and Sings CONSTANTLY.
Little Squirt: He kicks ALL the time...okay not constantly but I am worried that by the time I am finally at get to the end of this he is going to break a rib or something. Other than that things look good and healthy.
All of us except daddy: The majority of us are at my Mom's house in Garner, NC. My parents went on a cruise with some old Joy school friends for their 25th wedding anniversary (which technically isn't for another month, but who cares!) So I house/baby - ahem, I have been corrected :) - teenager sit for them while they went. I will be here for a little while longer than I will make the trek home to my own bed *sigh*
Daddy: I have been trying to call Jeremy daddy because Addie keeps calling him Jer - but only when she needs him to accomplish something for her. I have no idea where she picked that up ;) Well daddy is currently in Mississippi. Working hard and being the incredible man that he is. I love how hard he works and how he tries to make our lives better.

So now on to why I originally started this post. I have had a LITTLE bit of trouble with my OCD since I have become pregnant. Especially in the last month. Now I have always liked things planned and things to have a place - clutter has begun to really frustrated me. So before we left for my parents I had clean my entire house (not like a deep cleaning) and organize and clean my garage (this WAS a deep cleaning) I will have to post on that later. Anyway I found great satisfaction after I did those things. I am smiling just thinking about it.
After having such success on that project my mind started reeling with other things that I "HAVE" to do and I have to keep reminding that I don't "HAVE" to do these things.

Well then I was on my normally blog check and I found this image below (Isabella & Max's Rooms) and I saw that mesh basket and got so excited. You see I have a family notebook where I keep important info but it really has nowhere to go. It just sits around which annoys me (again Prego OCD taking over) So a plan has been formulating in my brain. In a week or two, when I get home I will probably post about it on my other blog (so stay tuned to that.)





NOW for what made me super excited. As part of my research I found this website call Iheartorganizing I was so impressed and excited by most of her projects. I am excited to try a few of them out. For example, She has gotten her 5 year old to fold his own laundry! I am super excited to try that in a year or two because I really hate folding laundry. Anyway she has become a regular read for me.

When I finally get home I will make sure to put up some photos so that you don't have to be bothered by the rantings of a Pregnant woman ;)

So when you're done nesting at your house do you want to come do some nesting at my house? LOL! I can't wait to check out this site you posted, seriously! And I'm not exactly sure we should let Stephanie anywhere near it... just sayin' LOL! just kidding Steph ;)

Oh & you reminded me of how Jocelynn used to call us Rich & Becky, that was also when we figured out that we would have to start calling each other Mom & Dad or something like that! LOL I think that happens with every first child, like a right of passage for parents or something! Love the post Mia, miss you so much!
