A busy baby week!

We have had a busy baby week (hence the name of the title).  :)  I could probably write a post about each one separately, but you all would probably rather have multiple root canals than read about each one in depth, so we'll do a quick recap instead.  

Tuesday night, we participated in Round 1 of registering.  Yuck is all I can say! :)  I suppose it was a little fun picking out all of the stuff Little buddy will soon be using, but it was stressful!! We spent a good 20-30 minutes looking at the car seats and strollers!  And after 3 entire hours, we had only completed about 60% of our registry.

Wednesday night, we picked up our nursery furniture (we ordered a crib and a dresser).  When we ordered it, we were quoted a shipping time of 10-14  weeks.  We got a call three weeks after ordering it that it had arrived!  We had some trouble tracking down a pick-up truck to use to pick the furniture up, but we were finally able to get it.  Once we opened the boxes to admire our brand-new, beautiful nursery furniture, this is what we found...

That's right...a great big, ginormous explosion of crap that is supposed to be the corner.  And, I didn't even post a picture of the drawer that was messed up and causing damage to the other side of the dresser.  Needless to say, Sam at Treehouse Kids Co., and I are not exactly the best of friends at the moment :)  

On to things that are fun and actually went well...My dad came over from Columbus (my mom was down in SC visiting grandson #1a), and we took advantage of the three day weekend to work on the nursery for grandson #1b.  The room had actually been our guest room, but we emptied it out a while ago.  Unfortunately, because I am pregnant and all of my brain cells don't currently function, I didn't take a "before" picture when it was set up as a bedroom.  However, we do have an empty "before" picture...

You may be thinking "Oh, how convenient...they are having a boy, and the room is already painted blue!"  That would have been way too convenient, however!!  As you will see, we did paint the room, blue, twice actually (funny story), but a different shade of blue.  I still don't think Justin understand the difference, but it looks way better!  Here is the transformation to our newly painted nursery (we still have MANY finishing touches, and we aren't even close to being finished, so the completely finished nursery pics will have to wait!)...
