Bed Rest at 33 weeks (and my super organized closet!)...

My feet, ankles, legs, and hands have been swelling for a while now.  I had a doctor's appointment this Friday to talk about it.  While I was in the waiting room, I look up and see my Mom looking for a seat.  She drove up because she was worried about my appointment.  Turns out it was a great thing she was there!  We saw doctor H, and we listened to sweet baby Lawson.  We did a few more tests and she told me that I was on bed rest for the weekend.  She then sent us downstairs to the ER for some more testing.  After a few hours of testing I was told that my blood pressure is a little higher than they wanted, my feet/ankles/legs/hands are severely swollen (which we already knew), and I have a bladder infection.  The ER doctor told me no more work.  So now, at 33 and 1/2 weeks, I am on bed rest.  I know it's the best thing Lawson and myself, but I really wasn't expecting this.  I'm now going to the doctor twice a week and working feverishly trying to finish up an entire semester of lesson plans.  Dr. H is expecting baby Lawson to show up between 37 and 38 weeks.  We are continuing to pray for a healthy baby and a safe delivery.

Now onto something a little more upbeat (or at least for me) ORGANIZATION!  
           Here are some pictures of my finished closet project.  I have green baskets full of burp clothes, blankets, loveys, etc.  (all with labels of course) Then we have closet organizers that I ordered from Etsy- so cute!  Lastly, we hung hooks for L's diaper bags and then a shoe rack with labels that holds all the small things that we will need.  Everything is done and I'm really pleased that everything has it's own spot.  I hate clutter laying around so I hope this will alleviate some of that. 
....Take a peek!

It looks cluttered, but I promise, we make good use of our small space!
