So I've got lots of updates:) Since the anatomy scan, J and I went on a mini shopping spree. We went to Buy Bu.y Bab.y and I had so much fun! We finally decided between the city mini and city select (we went with the Mini) after playing with them both for a bit. We also got the craziest swing ever. It's called a Mama.roo and it's the only thing J has gotten SO excited about. It's not the most attractive thing but it will do and it doesn't take up much space, which I like:) So here is our new stroller and swing!
We toured 2 daycare centers and they were both fine but I was definitely underwhelmed. I'm not sure what I expected but I just wasn't feeling it. Either one of them would be fine to take Petri to and I know she'd be safe and well taken care of, I just was "blah" about them. My coworker told me about one of her friends that runs an in home daycare so we're checking it out on Wednesday. She's currently getting licensed which I love and she said that she has back up people in case she goes on vacation or has appointments to go to which is also really important. One of the reasons we were going to go with a center was so that we didn't have to deal with finding care for Petri last minute. So to not have to worry about that is awesome, especially since the in-home care is about $100 cheaper per week than the center's we've been looking at. So fingers crossed we like this place!
This past weekend I was in major nesting mode. Last weekend we cleaned out the nursery which was a huge project in itself but our way of cleaning it out was to take EVERYTHING out of the room and then go from there. We organized a bunch last weekend but all last week we still had a ton of stuff left in our living room to go through. So, I went through all that and since J and his friend were able to remove an old entertainment center I've been wanting to get rid of, I rearranged the room too. I feel like it's a lot more open now and we've got more room for baby "gear" if needed. We also put built-ins in our downstairs earlier this year (yay for no wires!) but it wasn't completely finished so the room has been a construction zone for the past few months. So, J spent saturday morning finishing up some of the last touches and I spent the afternoon/evening putting the room back together and putting together a new bookshelf that is sturdier and more baby friendly. Phew! It was a LOT of work both days and I'm definitely exhausted now but I'm so glad to have those 3 rooms (nursery and both living rooms) organized and cleaned out! We still have more to do but I think it can wait a week or 2. I don't want to do anything around the house this weekend, well, other than laying around and being lazy:P The other fun thing I did was make closet organizers. Its a completely unnecessary thing for the baby's room but it was a cheap, fun, and crafty project so I just went with it:) So here they are:)
And lastly, since it's been forever since I've done one, here's my 24 week survey!
