Nesting and Crib Shopping

It's officially started...(poor Ralph). My days now consist of planning and preparing. When I'm at home I sit in the baby's room and think of colors to paint and where the furniture will go. I look at the clothes that Grandma C. (Yep...that's you Mom)has bought and think...how many times should I wash them before our baby boy wears them??? I'm obsessed with getting the room ready and always feel like there is never enough time.


We went looking for cribs and bedroom furniture this week and after all the searching and comparing we found one we liked...until it got RECALLED!!! How could they do that to us!!! Now we have to start from square one and start all over. The worst part about it was we both really liked the color and the fact that it was a 4 in 1 convertible crib. So while at work (not really working) I browsed the internet and found one we both liked at Walmart. There are just so many choices and so many things to look for and make sure of. The bars cant be more than so many inches apart, do the pieces fit tightly, can the baby slip through the cracks...etc!


And to add to the constant urge to decorate I am now overly anxious to get this pregnancy over with!!! I am always wondering what he looks like and cant wait to hold him in my arms and kiss him all over...it's crazy!!! This is one thing they don't warn you about at your drs. appts.!
