Unprepared

The most popular question that I was asked at our baby shower was, "So where is the nursery?" It always made me laugh because we are far from having the nursery ready. We don't even have a room available yet! At least, not until we play musical chairs rooms. First, Brandon will have to move his office into the dining room. Second, we will need to move Caden into the room that Brandon's office used to occupy. Then we can start to set up the nursery in Caden's old room. Although it may seem easier to just put the nursery into the room we move Brandon's office out of, I think Caden would benefit more out of that room since it has a built-in desk and double the closet space. Hopefully this weekend our plans will finally be put into motion. Brandon is planing on getting his new desk assembled so he can start the transition from his old office into the dining room.

I may not have a room for the nursery yet, but I do have pictures of some of the things that will fill it! Here is the changing table/dresser that I found on Craigslist for only $140!

I found the cute baskets at Pottery Barn Kids. That place has the potential to get my pocketbook into some serious trouble. I saw a bunk bed there that I absolutely fell in love with. Then I noticed the price tag and walked away, super disappointed.

I also found this glider rocker on Craigslist. (Thank you Joann, for buying it for us!)

We got it for less than half the price of some of the ones we saw while registering at Babie's "R" Us. I couldn't believe how expensive these things were normally priced!

I found these cute letters somewhere online. I can't wait to see them on the wall above Sam's crib.

The layette we chose for his nursey inlcudes a whale, so I couldn't stop myself from picking this little piggy bank up at Target. Isn't it cute?

It was only two bucks! I love the discounted section they have set up at Target when you first walk into the store. I find some of the neatest stuff there.

I am so eager to start decorating and preparing Samuel's room. The fact that I can't yet is making me feel a little crazy. I need to nest! I must nest! I shared my frustration with Brandon tonight and he told me to stop fretting. Oh, I wish it were that easy. I can't help but think, "What if Sam comes earlier than expected and we aren't finished moving all the rooms around?" I know it's a ridiculous thing to be concerned about since for centuries, babies have survived just fine without a proper nursery. Geez Katie...

Lord, help me just be still and know that you are God. (Psalm 46:10)
