When the stress creeps up on you, don't you just look at Ava and feel excited to do it again? I hear that's the way it goes. The room looks really good.

Yes, you will be tired, frustrated and exhausted but it's definitely worth it all in the end. Also, don't be surprised if Ava has a set back in her potty training after the baby arrives. My daughter Abagail will be 3 in two weeks (!!!) and has been fully trained for a while. There is a new baby at daycare which is taking attention off of her so she has started peeing in front of the potty instead of on the potty. We are now back to having anywhere from 1 - 4 accidents a day. Best of luck! This will be just great after the new little one is here.

Hold them close to your heart because the days will not last long. You can organize when they are old enough to help you. Just enjoy the journey with Ava and your new little one.

This is really pretty, and very versatile. You'll be fine with one more. I bet Ava will be a huge help, being a big sister is a tough job! You guys will be fine. Good luck!

When we got the call that we had pink slip and could travel to Guatemala, I was literally in the closet cleaning and organizing. I'm not sure I ever finished that closet. I think I shoved everything back in and started packing our suitcases! Congrats on your little one coming. Soon you'll be a family of 4! I remember the nesting phase before each of my kids.

My friend Kristin can attest to the amazing accumulation of containers I acquired over the years, to help me organize. Eventually, I weeded out what had become a clutter of containers. It also, took me years to throw McDonald's toys without guilt, what's up with that!? But, a trip through Ikea, or any containers still inspire a little thrill in me! -Chris Ann I am a lifelong organize-attempting mama of 4.

Back when my husband was in the Air Force and we were pregnant with our first (of five) boys, my husband was freaking out to a captain at his office. This gentleman, at the time, had 11 children, and my husband asked him how he did it and stayed so stinking calm. This wonderful man looked my husband squarely in the eye and said in a deadpan voice, "When you have one, you double-team the child. When you have your second, you go man-to-man, and when you get to number three and beyond, it's all about switching to zone defense." I will never, ever forget that wonderful, humorous piece of advice, and believe me...WE ARE IN THE ZONE!!! I wish we were able to experience at least once more, the mode you are in right now...preparing, wondering, worrying, anticipating, nesting, fretting, praying, waiting...but God had other ideas. I will say, your Ava warms my heart. Please, continue to share your journey with us...it is truly a blessing (as is your amazing gift of photography!) Okay…I had to laugh at this.

I just need that little rug that I showed you, but I just can't justify spending a buttload on gas for something that is $5. Hope Ava likes it. If she likes it, she will use it more!
