Project: Baby

This weekend we are going to start getting baby STUFF ready.
We have gotten some fabulous hand-me down clothes from the kids Maria nannies, borrowed a co-sleeper from Julie, and just ordered an on-sale stroller this week, and Ang sent us some of the cutest little baby socks in the world. Chris and Lucy have offered a crib that is actually a double hand me down: it started out with Olivia, Chloe and Teddy, then the twins, now our baby. That's the ultimate green contribution to baby's room. Just seeing a few baby things sitting in our office is making me antsy to start getting ready!
Last weekend Eric moved our TV set up out of the office to the living room, so there is a little extra space. I bought some big rubbermaid tubs to sort through and store office and closet stuff in the garage, which will be a big project. Today we'll get a dresser at IKEA and start putting things away. My goal is to get all the furniture moving before the belly gets to much more in the way :-). The good news is that with a little organizational effort, our garage storage holds more than we thought, and we will be fine for space for a while.

Wow, kinda tough to visualize that room as a baby room. I'll have to consider visiting on my next 3 day weekend.
