Things have been so busy lately. Daniel's started studying for boards and doesn't usually come home anytime before 7 (sometimes not till 9 or 9:30..and the studying isn't complete till 11 or so) , work has got 5x busier than it ever has been before, and in between we are trying to prepare for the baby. The nursery is slowly but surely coming together, but pictures won't be shared till the end most likely. Not for any other reason than the fact that I'm too lazy to try and organize and make the room look good. Right now its split down the middle with baby stuff and dental school stuff. Cute little baby books mixed in with anatomy and nasty oral disease books...sad day.
A few things we have checked off the list for our little girl in the past few weeks:
1. A stroller and car seat! We went with the Britax B-Ready stroller and Chaperone car seat (thanks Alexa for the tip!) It will be arriving tomorrow and I will definitely be posting pictures. It was a pretty big purchase but we are hoping to be able to use it for a long time.
2. About three weeks ago when we were in Utah, my sweet sister in laws Stephanie 1 and Stephanie 2, threw us a little family baby shower. It was so much fun and was so great to see everyone. They (along with my other brother and sister in laws) were sweet enough to buy me the diaper bag I've been dreaming about for months but couldn't justify getting. I will post pictures as soon as I get it in the mail. But a HUGE thank you to my awesome sister in laws! I love you all.
3. We found a changing table for sale for like 25 bucks on Craigslist. It was an ugly brown but we sanded it, re-painted it white, and attempted to "antique" it. I bought some baskets for the shelves yesterday and am going fabric shopping today to make some liners. There's always something to do now on my days off!
4. Daniel painted the nursery a few weeks ago! He's the best.
5. My lovely mother in law bought us a convertible Chariot jogging stroller. Daniel is so excited to stick it on his bike and pull our little girl around. I wouldn't put it past him to load the thing with bricks just to add difficulty onto his cycling work out. Those crazy Johnson genes ;)
I know there are other things cause I feel like we are getting ready for her all day everyday..but my brain is shot. Oh the joys of being so uncomfortable you can't sleep at night. I think it'll be a lazy day today for the most part..until Daniel gets home and we can go grocery shopping with me and we do laundry. So fun right? :)
P.S.--I think we are 95 percent sure on what her name will be!
....to be continued :)
