The nursery is coming along. Cribs are put together and the curtains are (finally) up. Thanks to Auntie Issy for the new curtains! We had to hem them cause they were a bit too long. Looks good now though right?!? We some cute animal decals to put up on the wall. Who knew planning and decorating a nursery would be difficult? I couldn't figure out what I really wanted to do despite all the pictures online and things I've seen on Pinterest and what not. I think we're sticking with the animal theme though and I'm ok with that. The previous folks who lived here before us used this room as their nursery so for now, we're going to as well. She painted it this awesome gray color. We liked it so much, this was the only room I didn't have to paint.

We have so much stuff that's been given to us by our siblings, we are still in the process of sorting them out. Thanks to Michelle and Brian for handing down your baby stuff! It's a huge help!

Oh and HUGE news! We managed to clean out the garage the other day. It's something I've been wanting to get done for the past few months. It was a mishmash of things from Scott's dad's storage to baby stuff and other odds and ends. All the siblings got about 6 months to come and get what they wanted. Time was up so we separated stuff in to piles of throw, donate and keep. We sorted out the baby stuff and put them away up in the rafters of the garage by when they need to use them: the stuff for later in age in the back for easier access to stuff we need right away in front. We made a trip to Goodwill and dropped off four garbage bags of stuff and went to the dump to bring other stuff we needed to toss. Once we got those things out of the way, it was all clear! I wish I had a before and after pick but I just have a after. That big empty space in the middle was packed with stuff! crazy!

That's all for now... thanks for reading! The next ultrasound appointment will be in the beginning of next month. I think maybe March 9.
