Nick and I got a few baby-related things out of the way on this quiet Saturday. I found a nice nursery furniture set on Craigslist for only $150, so we picked that up today along with a pack 'n play they were getting rid of. Awesome! Now we'll actually have something in what shall now be called the nursery.
We also had some painting fun today. We repainted the room from an annoying purple to a sunny yellow (or Delightful Daffodil, as the paint chip said) that complements the jungle babies-themed bedding I made. Hopefully, we didn't miss any spots (and our masking job held up to the two coats of paint).
It felt really good to get these things out of the way, and feel like we're actually doing something to get ready, even though it's still going to be about six months from now. And having heard that little one's heartbeat a week and a half ago, we're looking forward to meeting the little guy or gal.
As for me, I'm definitely starting to get a bit bigger. I've been reduced to using office supplies (rubber bands and clips) to hold my pants on. I'm not nearly big enough for the maternity pants I bought, but I know that day will be coming soon enough. I haven't felt any movement yet... Hopefully in the next few weeks. :o)
