Just a few things

    I wont give excuses for my lack of blogging, its just not my thing to do it all the time. I figure that I would keep everyone updated before the baby comes since I enjoy reading my cousin's blog and my sister's and a couple of friends. I am almost 36 weeks along, wahoo! I asked my doctor a few appts back if he thought I could go early and he replied sadly with a very solid, NO. :/ So it looks like February  11th is the soonest this mama will be going into labor. I also asked him how far after my due date he would let me go and he said a week, which i took as better news then two weeks.
    I've been slowly getting things ready for her here. We got our crib for free from BJ's boss who said he and his wife were done. SCORE!! They also gave us the mattress! So the crib is taken care of, CHECK!
    I found the bumper at IKEA for $12. I like that its just plain white so it will go along with any blanket I put in there. I still am trying to figure out how to put it on though, its really long??
    After we had the crib I started looking for a dresser on KSL. That was an interesting job. Most dressers are old dressers like ones from when I was a child, and they are still selling for around $40-$50. So last Saturday BJ took me to IKEA and said I could buy a dresser there. It was SOOO nice! cause we don't have a lot of money and he has been pushing us to save money by buying online. After much shopping and looking we decided to get this SUPER cute book shelf that we turned on its side. It was $69! and it can be used for other things after the baby doesn't need it. (that was my argument for BJ :) Anyway we came home and put it together and I had so much fun putting stuff away!!
                                   Those are my new burp rags Amanda made me. :) Super cute huh!
   As I put her little pants and tights away I started to get excited a little to play dress up, haha Its like grown up Barbies.. all the time! The worst thing I did though was pull out one of the newborn diapers hehehe seriously! take a looksee
                                                                      SOOOO little!!

   So all of the big things are taken care of, well except a recliner but hopefully that will come along some time soon. I have obtained things from my sister and Target as well like shampoo and baby wash, wash cloths, desitine, a breast pump, hair clips and flowers. My cousin, Steph bought her a pair of cowgirl boots which are perfect! Well I will post hopefully more one more time before I have her and tell you more about what we are up to but for now I have to go. BJ has to drive out to Tooele for work and I get to go with him since its after work hours and he probably wont get home till close to 9 or 10. I wouldn't get to see him all day if I didn't. :(
but I will leave you with my last baby/ old dinning room picture...
