It’s Amazing

We had an amazing transformation in the Biskie household today.

My sweet & generous friends Dave & Jessica Fick came over today to help us tackle our basement.  Before I even asked, Jess told me they’d all ready considered it after reading my pity party.

(My) Dave & I started this morning at 8:30am doing laundry & just getting organized.  They got here at 11am & I promise you we worked hard all day until about 9pm!  I must have done 10 loads of laundry, Jess & I got two disaster areas rooms cleaned completely & among other things, the two Dave’s re-wired & installed two motion-detecting-heat-sensing lights off both sides of our sun porch in our backyard.

The transformation is kah-razy!  It’s amazing what 4 warm bodies can accomplish in 10 hours. (I guess technically 5 warm bodies if you include the 6 pound baby in my belly weighing me down).  Our work today kind of reminded of this:

I wish I could bombard with you pictures however, my husband said he’s far too ashamed of what we let our basement become for me to post the “before” shots & not only are my digital camera batteries dead but now that I’ve sat down I think I may be stuck here for the night.  Aching joints, pelvis, belly, ankles, etc. cannot even begin to describe the peril!

Even without pictures, this is all you need to know: the basement guest bedroom is ready for nameless baby #2 & I to take night-time residence for at least 3 weeks.!

This brings me so much peace of mind you have no idea.   Baby boy & I have a desk to sit at should I feel inspired to write or work at my laptop, we’ve got Tetris & orginal Nintendo.  We have the pack’n’play set up, a rocking chair for nursing, a bed for sleeping with clean sheets & a T.V./D.V.D.

Heck, we’ve even got wipes, diapers, a changing pad & a brest friend ready to go! 🙂  What, youv’e never heard of a breast friend?  Let’s just say once youv’e had a brest friend you never go back to a boppy.  Can somebody say: lumbar support?!

So, why is the new babes & I sleeping down there?  My gift to my husband & Ransom is allowing them to sleep through the night for 3 weeks (at least)  & my gift to my new baby is to stay up all night, every night for around the clock breastfeeding sessions.

Kudos to Jess & Dave who served Dave & I beyond belief today & blessings to Kim & Alison who came to watch the kiddo’s.

Here here to amazing friends, room transformations & the peace of mind only nesting can bring when your 37 weeks preggo! 🙂
