Lots to do ...

Once I hit the 3rd trimester last week, it hit us that we still have a lot of work to do!

Baby registry
My cousins are throwing Matt & I our baby shower; they're ordering the invites and we still hadn't decided where to register (or what to register for!). So last weekend, we met our friend L out at Babies R Us to de-mystify the baby crap and tell us what we really need. It was overwhelming, but it made Babies R Us much less intimidating.

The Crib
Then we decided we have to go buy a crib, because we didn't know how long it would take to arrive. For that we went to the Land of Nod and fell for this perfect simple crib - nothing too fancy that we can still use for a boy/girl and children to come. (And it's in stock and arriving this Friday!) Once we were there, we thought the store was so nice and we really loved their crib bedding, so we went ahead and registered there too.The Nursery
The baby's room (as well as the rest of the upstairs) is still not close to being finished. Doors & dooor trim need to get painted and re-hung, the closet interiors have to be installed, and I need to finish the decor. So Matt painted all weekend; his goal is to have it done by the baby shower so we can have everyone over to the house afterward to see the room, have drinks, and relax outside.

Not to mention, our office is now the junk room, and that will have to get cleaned out too ...

When my aunt saw the room yesterday, she asked, "Will all this get done in time?" I said, "Of course!" Do I believe it? Hmmm... miracles do happen.
