Busy, busy, busy


We have about 30 days left and there is SO MUCH that has to be done.  It is very overwhelming to think about!  But we did get a few things done this past week over my Spring Break :-)


  • TAXES!! Now hopefully, we won't have to pay out and we'll get a whopping sum of $$ back!
  • Pressure washed the house 
  • Hung some pictures in the nursery (which still isn't finished....)
  • Assembled thank you bags for the L&D nurses
    • 2 Hershey bars
    • 2 Reeses cups
    • Starbursts
    • 1 pen
    • 1 chapstick
    • 1 pack of crackers
    • 1 pack of gum


  • Bought a "Pack n Play" for $50 off of Craigslist....actually we were going to buy a Graco Pack n Play but after we got to looking at it, we liked this brand a lot better for our purpose.  We wanted something functional for our room for the first month(ish).  But even more than that, we wanted something that I could take with me to the Farmers Market that would give her moving space, air flow, and shade.  Graco didn't offer anything with a large adjustable canopy over the playard. I found a Baby Trend Nursery Center at Walmart for $100 on clearance (very similar to the one below).  But then, I happened to look on Craigslist and found this basically brand new one for $50. Bonus points for it matching our bedroom :-)  We met the seller in Cary.....at the mall....in broad daylight.....with me, Jacob, my mom, and my dad.....with 2 people carrying concealed guns :-)  One can never be too cautious, right?!
  • Installed our diaper sprayer that was $45 off of Amazon....normally $70 in the store!

That's a few more projects completed.....now to finish the rest :-)
