Another successful weekend...

Dan & I had another successful baby weekend. Dan fixed the closet in the soon-to-be nursery - he fixed the small water leak and replaced the drywall in the closet ceiling. This way we will feel comfortable to know that mold won't begin growing in the babies closet.

Next on Dan's list is to build the new closet in our bedroom so Dan doesn't loose a closet once the spare room becomes Alexander's nursery. But first things first ...

I was at Gary & Sharon's on Saturday and spoke to Gary about painting the nursery. He helped me pick out colors and he'll come over and help paint the nursery and I'll take the kids out. Sounds like a great deal to me! We're tentatively looking at the 2nd weekend in December to paint the room. Then we can have rugs put down since the room will be painted. That can even wait til after Christmas.

We did order our crib today - so exciting! We also bought our changing table. We brought that home because it was in stock, but the crib should be in in 7-14 days. We agreed to buy the dresser within the month or so, to help spread out the credit card "sticker shock". I put up a new picture of the furniture because we actually picked out a different crib. I'm glad we went to go look again together because we ended up both liking a different crib and thankfully it matches the changing table & dresser that we already liked. The crib is a bit bigger and the side of the crib goes up a bit higher so it made us feel better that when the baby can stand, he won't fall out easily.

So overall, a good weekend - closet fixed, paint colors & date picked, crib & changing table purchased!
