It's that time again! Time for another round of Friday Favorites.
This week the highlight of our week was probably finishing the vertical striping on the wall that will be behind Will's crib. It was a task and a half to get taped up. It took Momma, Steven, and myself. At least there was some laughter about how ridiculous it was... or it might have ended in bloodshed. The painting was fairly easy though and once the tape was removed, we knew it was all worth it. His room (like Kenzie's) now has a little something extra.
We also got one of his two decals put up on the wall. The other will have to wait until his crib is delivered (we ordered it and it should be delivered around the beginning of September) because the positioning is sort of dependent on the crib's location.
Kenzie has gotten really in to giving hugs and kisses lately. She has also started saying "Love you" to us. She never really did it before and it is the cutest thing ever. She actually says "lub ew" but we love it (and her.) I tried to get her to give me a kiss and take a picture, but she was so enthused with the camera itself that this is the best I could do. Her kisses make my day though. She used to hate giving hugs and would flat out tell you "NO!" when you asked. She's never been a really cuddly type of kid. Very independent and strong willed. Now, she is always up for giving you a hug or kiss if you ask.
I'm finally acting upon the best advice I didn't take when I was pregnant with Kenzie. I've decided to start making freezer meals to prep for Will's arrival. I figure we are likely close enough now that they can hang out in the freezer for long enough without getting freezer burn if I make sure to package everything really well. As I've mentioned before, we have to plan for the possibility of Will showing up early because I could have a blood pressure issue again. Therefore, we have to be ready and prepped for him by the beginning of October, just in case. I would much prefer him to stay in a bit longer, but we will see how this goes. So, this week I made the first meal. This one is actually a crockpot freezer meal which means you put all the ingredients together in a bag then one day take it out, throw it in the crockpot, and in a few hours you have a meal. Perfect! I can definitely handle that. I figure that having about 5 freezer meals should be good because most of them make more than enough for the three of us to eat for a couple of days. I have no idea what it will be like with two kiddos hanging around. One that requires a lot of attention and play time and the other that (hopefully) sleeps a lot for the first few weeks but will require me all the time because I plan to breastfeed again. I remember those first few weeks with Kenzie and until you are in the position, you have no idea what you are in for. If he is anything like Kenzie was, we can also plan on having a "witching hour" daily almost from the time he is born. Kenzie's always fell during dinner time so having meals already prepped and ready to go will be super helpful. I'm hoping I have enough energy for the two of them and I know having some meals ready will help me out immensely.
I guess that is about it for this week's Friday Favorites. Let's see what the next week brings. =)
