Getting ready for baby!

While we're still not setting up a complete nursery, we are definitely getting ready for baby.  It feels quite liberating to be at the point where we feel it necessary and comfortable to begin truly preparing a spot for the little baby we will one day bring home.

At this point, we're picking out all that will turn our extra room into a nursery and prepare us for parenting.  We have our eyes set on a crib and a cozy rocker you can simply sink into.  We've chosen bouncers and swings to lull the little one to sleep and mobiles and toys to entertain and enjoy.  Boppies and rattles, car seat, highchair, and baby bathtub--all ready to go.  Snugly blankets, precious sleepers, and onesies are all waiting to fill the drawers and at least one of us (you can guess which one) links often to our dream stroller.  Everything we'll need, in fact, is chosen.  In the event that we have time to set up a nursery ourselves, it will be thrilling to begin checking the items off our list as we gleefully purchase each one.  But, in the event that we don't have much time to prepare, we're all set!  Knowing that we have many people lined up to help, we feel confident that whatever our road to baby brings, we are fully prepared.  How lucky we are to be surrounded by family and friends that are so willing and eager to lend a helping hand and join us in welcoming a new baby!   

And for those things that may disappear?  Well, we make sure we snatch them up before they do!  In this way, we've gathered some of the most adorable elements of our nursery.  Who could resit an elephant hamper?  Muslin giraffe sheets?  Bright pillow covers?  Not these parents!  Whether we end up bringing home a boy or girl, our nursery is well on its way to being the perfect place to lay a little one down for a nap or snuggle up for a bedtime story, build towers with blocks or take in some tummy time!  While we may be slowly filling the house with baby items, we can't wait for the day the house is filled with the laughter and joy of a little one!  Excitedly, but patiently, we are waiting and preparing our home and ourselves for baby as we do so!
