Well, Saturday we did meet Bobby's aunt to get the crib. Bobby set it up yesterday and it is just beautiful! I can't wait to get it all done up with the bedding my brother got us. His girlfriend Andrea is coming over tonight to help me get some things in the room done, so I'm pretty excited about that. I'm getting to the point where simple tasks wear me out. We also ordered our changing table yesterday, so we should be getting that in about a week. It's not the orginal one that matches the crib, but it's actually really similar, so I don't mind. Plus it was a lot cheaper, lol. The one that matched the crib has been "temporarily unavailable" for about 2 weeks now. In my experience, that means they don't carry it anymore, lol.
Dad and I started on the chifferobe on Saturday. We had to sand it, that was a pain in the rear, but I think we did a pretty good job with a little hand sander. ***By the way, even if you only do one job in your life that requires sanding, BUY AN ELECTRIC SANDER.*** My back was hurting and I barely even did any work, I know Dad's back had to be on fire. Anyway, he ended up getting the primer on it so it could dry overnight. Then yesterday while Mom and I were at Wally-world he started the first coat of black paint. We had to fill some holes where the old handles used to be, since I got knobs to replace them with so it would match the changing table. You can't even tell where the old holes were. Not bad for people who have no previous woodworking/renovating experience!
Mom and I went shopping for some of the things that I didn't get from my showers. I got the crib mattress, mattress pad, some baby hangers, a nursing wrap, a few other odds and ends and of course, more diapers. Because you can never have enough. We got all of that stuff and then went to the grocery section. By then my back and hips were killing me. I managed to make it halfway through before starting to complain. I felt some intense pressure on my pelvic region and it didn't help that Deagan was trying to do gymnastics in my belly. I went to the restroom twice and both times there was barely a trickle. So I'm thinking that was my last trip being on my feet for that long...
There's still a few things we need to get but I think I'll be ordering them online. I didn't see some of the ones I picked out in the store, like the changing table pad. I didn't like any of the ones I saw. They didn't carry the Boppy covers either, and I need a few of those. And of course another base for the car. That should get us by at least for a while. There are some things that I still want, but I'm going to get the things I need first.
