Gifts galore today :)

Lil' Bean is spoiled already! What a lucky baby he/she is!

I met Mom at The Baby Furniture Outlet today at lunch because they had a crib and dresser on sale. Of course they were sold out. Anyway, we happened to check out this one other part of the store and there it was...'THE' crib. It is so awesome! "Grandma" and "Grandad" bought the crib for Lil' Bean and his/her brothers/sisters :) Ron and I picked the crib up after work tonight and bought a mattress, too!

Linda is coming over to paint the nursery tomorrow but I couldn't wait to set up the crib so we set it up tonight! I figured it would be good to have some help with this and as it turned out, the extra help did come in handy.



Ron is starting to put it together. Thankfully there weren't a million pieces to put together :)

"Grandad" and "Grandma" helping out.

TA DA!!!! The finished product...with bedding and mobile. Isn't it beautiful? I love the drawer underneath - it is HUGE and will come in handy for all of the blankets and quilts that Nellie made.

My parents left around 10 so Ron could do a little bit more studying (he's writing an ISA exam tomorrow morning in Toronto) and I decided I would go fill Ruby up since the light came on today. Ron said he would fill her up in the morning but I'm sure that's the last thing he'll want to do at 6am. Anyway, we were moving vehicles around (we still have Nellie's van) and I noticed someone walking towards our house. It was Jennifer from the Todays Parent forum. I met Jennifer last year online after we lost the first baby. She was a great support system for me and as it turned out, she grew up in London - just around the corner from me! SMALL world! Anyway, she lives in Toronto now but is visiting her Mom in Dorchester this weekend. She stopped by because she had made something for the baby and she wanted to give it to me...

Isn't it beautiful? I cried when I saw it! What a talented, sweet, thoughtful lady she is! The card was really cute too - it said Congrats on the impending birth of the baby and then something about hoping that we can agree on a BOYS name. Now, Jennifer predicted I would get pregnant at the end of November (conception date according to the charts is Dec 2 so she's pretty close). She was bang on with some other things in my life so it will be interesting to see if we have a boy or a girl. She also thinks I'll be having this baby on August 17th. :)

Well, after a VERY exciting day, I think it's time to catch some zzzzz's. Hopefully I will calm down enough to sleep. Maybe I should turn the mobile on - ha ha
