I'm trying hard to keep my excitement somewhat contained, but it's getting harder with each passing week. The more stuff that I put in the nursery, the more real it becomes. I've have a wonderful friend who gave me some really good stuff...bouncy seat, swing, stationary jumper, car seat, and two car seat bases. I also found a stroller at a garage sale that I couldn't pass up...a graco stroller used less than a handful of times. I've also started buying diapers, baby toiletries and clothes when I find good sales or have coupons. I've come to realize that having a little boy is much easier for me...no matching hair accessories, matching socks or tights, or matching shoes for each and every outfit. Simply have a few standard colors of socks, maybe three pairs of shoes, and a slew of outfits that can be mix and matched and you are good to go.
I've also come to realize that I'm in the nesting phase...feeling like I need to get several major projects done before this baby comes. I conquered yet another one while Scott was gone a few weeks ago...painted our master bedroom. I'm down to painting our master bathroom, a bedroom, and our kitchen. Feels daunting, but will keep me busy enough that the time will fly by.
Time to go do yet another home improvement project...hanging curtain rods and curtains in a couple of rooms tonight.
Hopefully I'll set aside more time to keep this blog up to date over the next few months.
