Buy Buy Baby

My energy level has now offically reached rock bottom. I am just way too tired today to do anything. I was scheduled to go to a training but decided that I didn't want to go into Bethesda today so I decided to cancel that training in favor of resting in my office.
This weekend was crazy. Stan and I have been putting on the hustle in terms of trying to get the house ready for the baby. While we are at it we have been trying to slowly but surely childproof everything so we can have William come over more often and play. I had so much fun this weekend when he would come over and grab one of the toys we had out there and start playing so Stan and I are going to get everything set-up in the living room and childproof it all so he can feel welcome to come over and play.

On Friday night Stan picked me up from work and we drove over to Buy Buy Baby to get the changing table which just so happened to be in stock (Thank God because it would have taken like 8 weeks to ship and we needed it ASAP for the baby) and while we were there Stan asked the sales associate to check and see if the crib was in and sure enough..it was. Actually it was funny the lady said that they called us on the 17th and I was getting all defensive thinking they never called us I would have gotten the message and all this and that. Finally Stan stopped me mid-rant and reminded me that Friday was the 17th so they called that day and I hadn't been home so I wouldn't have known. You have to love those moments when you realize that you have been going on and you are totally in the wrong. Everything was too big to fit in our car so Stan's dad met us at the store with the Suburban and believe it or not everything was too big to fit in that car so we had to tie the crib to the roof. I was so glad Stan's dad was there because he was a huge help tieing it down and making sure everything was secure. Then we went out to dinner at the mall and went home. That night Stan carried in the crib and the hutch but the dresser was too heavy so on Saturday John came over and helped him carry it in. Then they put the furniture together and we all went out to dinner. On Sunday Stan and I bought the mattress and the changing pad and got that all situated. It looked really nice and everything is Organic cotton and the mattress feels really firm so it should give him some good support. It fits the crib really well. Then my parents came over and we watched the football game while playing scrabble. My mom and I made dinner so then we all sat down to the table and ate. It was really nice. Then later that evening Stan's mom, dad, JOhn, Maggie, adn William stopped by. Sugar gets so hyper everytime she sees William like she really wants to play with him. She gets this huge smile!

I am just pleased that everything is coming along and I have to say I love the fact that everyone has helped with the nursery. It is so nice to have everyone's help and I think it will make for good memories to know how everyone pitched in for the baby. And I think it makes the nursery extra special.

We still have a lot to do but we are getting there and that is a good thing. My goal is to get everything finished by this weekend for the most part since we will be getting more baby stuff in as the date approaches.
