Zone 5: Linen closet...plus a little pregnancy tidbit

This is another boring one and there's no fancy organization going on here.

I tackled the linen closet during my last pregnancy, and I'm sad to say that even though I didn't take a before picture this time, it looked almost as bad as this before picture from the last pregnancy:

Almost.  But it wasn't quite this bad.

A few baskets for things like batteries and light bulbs and other random household stuff (like wood markers and those little felt pad things you stick on chair legs when you have wood floors).

The following is my pathetic attempt to be like Martha.  Why do I even bother?  I can never be Martha.

 This picture and a description about folding up all the sheets and pillowcases in a sheet set and sticking them all in one of the pillowcases is on her website, but I failed miserably at making mine look this this.  Oh well.

I made labels for blankets, pillowcases (that don't belong to sets) and random sheets so that we can hopefully, in the future, keep this closet from ever getting bad again.  That's my whole objective with this whole reorganizing mission: label EVERYTHING and give EVERYTHING a place so that there's no excuse to ever get disorganized again.

In other news, I've been getting a whole heck of a lot of "You're huge!" and "That's one big belly!" and "That baby sure is getting big, huh?" comments lately, so I think this baby must have had a growth spurt.  Or maybe it's just all the vegan desserts I've been making...

You'll see here that Adalyn's favorite activity is crawling through my legs over and over.  :)

I'm feeling alright.  Huge.  Very pregnant.  Lots of aches and pains.  There's definitely no forgetting I'm pregnant these days.  This baby moves, too!  Wowsers!  Even Tim commented this week about how much earlier he feels like we can see and feel this baby.  I mean, at 26 weeks I can already see the baby's body parts moving across my belly.  Never happened with either of my other kids this early.  I think I'll have my hands full with this mover & shaker.

I'm starting to get really anxious to know the gender.  I'm waiting, of course, but the anticipation is starting to really get to me.  What is this little one growing inside of me?  Will the girls outnumber the boys or the boys outnumber the girls?  Eeeeeeek!
