Well, almost. The nursery is essentially set up for baby. We still haven't found a rocker-glider that we like and can afford, nor have we decided if we're really going to buy a bookshelf right now. That being said, he has a fully furnished crib, dresser, and changing table ready for him. The house is pretty much ready for us to leave at a moment's notice, though he's probably still a couple weeks out. Who knows though, right? All of the showers have come to an end, but the gifts continue to trickle in.
Speaking of gifts. I appreciate the kindness of others, and definitely would really try to avoid indicating this frustration to them in person, but let me tell you something. Don't tear every single tag off of something before you give it to us! We have soo many blankets we don't know what to do with. Just the other day we got another one, and some more newborn size shirts (which you know he'll grow out of before we can even wash the first load of clothes) and the tags had all been torn off. So we can't very well exchange it for something useful. No more blankets and no more tiny tiny baby shirts. We have enough! that is, unless you made the shirt or blanket yourself. that's a different story.
Here's the crib all set up and waiting!
