We've taken the plunge in organizing the mess our spare bedroom has turned into. It will eventually become OK's nursery but until I can sort through all the clothes and hang them up, take boxes out, move the bed and night stands around a bit it wont look like anything but a storage room. We ran to Wal-Mart on Sunday to find some baby hangers to start with and they had none, so that kind of delayed our plan.
Kyle went by a consignment store up town to check out a crib and changing station but it was too scratched up for his preference. We got online and decided to order a new one (for a really good deal of course!) We hardly buy anything these days if it isn't a good deal. So it should be here towards the end of this week or beginning of next week!!! SQUEAL! I am too excited this means we've taken another step in the direction of organizing and changing this room into a semi nursery!
We are planning on leaving the bed and at least one night stand in the room, and then when the girls are old enough we will get bunk beds and they can share a room!!! My sister and I did it until I was about 11 or 12 so I know it is possible... Plus, I wouldn't trade those nights of whispering about who knows what and hearing my parents yell at us saying "GO TO SLEEP!!". Those were some of the best childhood memories.
The crib we've ordered is Espresso in color and it comes with a changing table/mini 2 drawer, 2 shelf dresser! It is going to look great with the ABC bedding we also purchased online!
We are handing down a lot of Hannah's stuff from her newborn/infant days but I had to buy a couple new things for this LO. So one afternoon while we were in Hickory we went by Babies R Us and check out their clearance items/sale items and discontinued items (which are usually further discounted) and found this adorable brown and green blanket with flowers on the corner of it, some swaddling blankets, and a couple of outfits that will be adorable for her to wear home! We also purchased a car seat and a base that is super cute and was $50.00 off! Plus it fits the little Chico stroller we bought a couple months ago (plus! plus!). I think once we get the room ready we will be set for her to come home! This time has been much easier and definitely less stressful than the last pregnancy!
Minus the gender mix up it's been fabulous! Of course knowing mine and Kyles luck we will bring a baby boy home come December 25ish.... haha! It will definitely be something to laugh about (years down the road lol) But just for my peace of mind in about 8 to 10 weeks we will have yet another ultrasound justtt to double check and make sure we (STILL) have a girl baking in there! I am a planner and if I don't feel 100% about something I will check until I feel 100%!

| Her closet is a lot smaller than Hannah's but at this point she doesn't need a huge closet! |
