What have we been up to?

We have had so much going on lately, it seems! I am beginning to feel like Baby Max is going to arrive before we can possibly get everything on our to-do list completed, but have been told this is a normal feeling to have as a soon to be mom.

I feel like we have been cleaning out Max's room for months. And we have. Like I have said before, that room somehow became a storage room of sorts...it is full of furniture that needs to be taken to Goodwill and craft supplies mostly. The good news is...we are finally starting to make some progress! When my parents came to visit last week they took home a couple of items of furniture, and they will be doing more of the same in a week or so. I have found other places to store most of my craft supplies, and I finally started painting all the furniture that will go in his room.

We finally finished our baby registries this past week too, and even though it doesn't sound like a big accomplishment, it truly is. Babies R Us is a scary place!

I think we have also decided on all the furniture that will be going in Max's room as well...

We are going later this month with my parents to Ikea to get the crib and rocking chair and maybe another item for storage purposes...thank goodness my parents have a van that they don't mind hauling it all in! I think Ikea is the way to go for baby furniture. I cannot imagine paying very much for a crib. The one we want is a mere $140 and is great quality, plus we can haul it and put it together ourselves :)

I also included pictures of the bedding that we have picked out for him, and the rug we want for his room. His changing table is going to be green and white :) I can't wait to see how it all comes together! Stay tuned for pictures of nursery furniture makeovers and finished products!
