So as you can imagine upon receiving the news that I am having contractions and are at risk for preterm labor, my motivation just skyrocketed. And yet, I am stuck in bed or on the couch. Frustrating. Thankfully, our loyal painter (number available upon request…he is the absolute best!) called after our doctor’s appointment and is available to paint immediately. So as I lay here in wait, I am busy doing some online shopping. :)
I found and bought a dresser - Coastal Living by Stanley (this is not the color I chose)…
Curtain panels (white with green chenille dots)…
A set of 3 paintings (the lion is my favorite – so cute!)…
A pom pom pillow (in white)… A Boppy pillow cover (these are the absolute best blankets ever…and now its a Boppy cover too!)…A head support for the car seat (we have a pink one, but I don’t think pink will cut it for baby boy)…
A new diaper bag (it was 50% off retail on zulily today!)…
And even more exciting stuff (*sarcasm*) like curtain rods…
The one thing I am struggling with is that I am starting to think we need a twin bed in the nursery. We didn’t do that with Emerson. Instead, we invested (well, more like my mother purchased for us) a super cushy rocker and ottoman. It worked out great when we ended up sleeping with her by necessity. But this time around, I am thinking we may end up needing an actual bed. With the amount of problems and possible “tet spells” that we are expecting, I have a feeling that we will be spending a lot of time in there. Plus, if we call in reinforcements (aka LaLa – my mother) for night duty, then she has somewhere to stay close to baby. I am hoping that all of my purchases just come in sooner rather than later so we can determine if we even have enough space for a twin bed.
On schedule for tomorrow…Downloading all of our pictures from various cameras and storing on our external hard drive (jealous???). Oh – AND it is Phillip’s 30th birthday! I plan on taking him to a nice dinner…I still have to eat, right?
You are the queen of internet shopping. I'm always so impressed on how you find cute, creative things online, so seemingly easily. Love the lion print, it's adorable!
