25 days to go and finally done!

And of course this is her lovely crib all ready for her... Cant wait to start using the rocking chair. I rock in it at night and she starts kicking! Lulu know's something is happing soon since she has started sleeping near the crib!


This is her very full closet. More clothes in dresser drawers. They are all sizes so no we didnt go crazy and buy a crap load of newborns or 0-3 months. But I think I am done buying other then a few onsies here and there... lol





This would be how we decided to save space in the room... We bought a dresser from Kmart for 30 bucks and bought the changing table pad and attached it safely to the top. Saved us about a hundred bucks because changing tables are soo expensive and saved us lots of room in the bedroom also!











So here are the final touch's on her room. This is the little storage area we have diapers and wipes in.. and blankets and burping cloths

Rainy Day Shopping!


So this past weekend I have been go, go, go. On Friday I went with Sarah and the mother in law to go thrift store shopping. We were able to find lots of great stuff for Miss Charity and her upcoming son. Had a great time, although it was raining most of the time that did not hold us back.
On Saturday I went to Elk River and met up with my mom and we went to a Multiply Blessed Mom's sell. Let me just say there was NO way we were going to look at everything. The lunchroom was full of toys, books, blankets ect. And then the gym was packed with racks and racks of clothing all according to size. I knew that if I got to many clothes John would throw a fit as we have so many for our little angel (Although can a princess have to many clothes?) haha. I do realize that she will never wear ALL of the clothes that we have for her unless we change her a few times a day lol. So I got a sleeper, dress, 10 receiving blankets, and a dress for size 18 month. Then we went into St. Cloud and went to the college where they were having "THE WORLDS LARGEST GARAGE SELL." I'm sure that each year it is diffrent but it was nothing great. It wasnt even as big as we thought it would be. Mostly just junk. But I did find myself a purse and a few toys for Kynzie. Also I picked up the blanket that is pictured for $2. It is so cute and soft. I love it. I might just be using it until she arrives. It will make a great blanket to throw over the car seat in the winter time.
This week marks one month left. I have a Dr. Appointment on Friday and we will find out if I have dialated at all. On Tuesday the mother in law and I are going to pick out our baby monitar, as that is what she wanted to buy us. And after we get those I am very very very pleased to say we are completly done shopping. We no longer will be in need of anything! Very exciting! I am still feeling ok. Just get very tired very fast and oh my goodness I feel like a furnace. I am ALWAYS feeling like I am on fire. Its so uncomfortable. But it will be worth it!
Well I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am going to get off here and start cleaning the house up!
