We've hit the 30 weeks pregnant mark- which, for most people, means they've got about 7-10 weeks to go until a new baby arrives. For me, I figure I've got about 11-12 weeks until our lives are blessed with a 3rd child, because my babies always seem to love the womb and like to make their appearance when they are beyond fully "cooked." Kylee was born between 40-41 weeks gestation, and Owen was just about 42 weeks gestation. It's always hard to wait in those last few days, and it's always funny to hear people say pregnancies are 9 months long, when mine are more like 10 to 10 1/2... but I've been lucky to have good, healthy babies- so I have no complaints. I would be very surprised if I did have this baby early... so, we've got some time to get things ready. But, then I looked at our calendar and realized we've got most of our weekends crammed with trips, events, the kids birthdays, and anniversaries all the way through October, so we might as well start getting a few things set now. Plus, I figure having a new baby is going to be a big adjustment for Kylee and Owen, so we might as well set the house up for baby NOW, and that'll be one less thing to throw them into some sort of regression when the baby does arrive.
We are doubling the girls up in Kylee's room, so we needed some extra space. Wes made Kylee's bed into a bunk this weekend and she loves it! We're shopping around for a used dresser that can double as a changing table, and we'll get the crib set up in the empty space soon. Here are some pictures of the 1st stage of the girls room makeover:

Her new set up- this will be "Kylee's side of the room."
Kylee's toys are marking the spots where the new girl will have her crib and dresser.
The kids are loving climbing on Ky's new bed- and are really excited about the changes so far! We'll just keep introducing them to these new changes, little by little, and hopefully all the build up will make them super excited for a newborn in the house in November:)
