Make Room for Baby

In anticipation of the baby's arrival, we've pulled out all the baby gear. Lily thinks this is the best thing ever as her dolls and stuffed animals have been enjoying some new, fun toys and accommodations.

The pack 'n play

We've decided to put the pack 'n play downstairs for now in order to have a changing station and napping area on the main level. With Lily, we kept this in our bedroom to have her close at night. Since the nursery is attached to our master bedroom in this house, it didn't make much sense to have another sleeping area only steps closer. Maybe this will help in keeping this baby in the crib from the get-go! We'll see.

We also moved Lily's carseat from the middle of the backseat to the side to make room for baby's infant carrier. Lily wasn't psyched about this at first, but she is adjusting to her new "big girl" position in the car.

Slowly our environment is changing to reflect the little addition coming to our household. It is amazing how a someone so small requires so much stuff!
