Success! Just About All Set Up And Ready To Go!

As you can tell by the photos, Gareth has been very successful at putting together the PnP and I wasted no time getting all the other stuff together and set up. The PnP is actually pretty cool! I need to run out and get some batteries for the vibration and wave motion thing under the mattress, as well as the lullaby and ocean sounds thing that is attached to the side.

Oh and he found the instructions, after he has it completely assembloed, nicely tucked into their own little compartment on the underside of the mattress for the PnP. It figures.

And if you're wondering why I'm doing it now, with 8 weeks yet to go, well, there is no time like the present and I can't see myself having the energy to do this another 4 weeks from now. I've still yet to order her Moses Basket and once that's done next week, we'll pretty much be ready. I decided on a Moses Basket to use in the front room because the first 3 weeks or so after surgery, I'll be unable to drag the PnP from room to room, and I think we've pretty much decided against doing that anyhow. Once Gidget is about a month old, she'll go down for all naps/sleeps in her regular bed. That's why they make baby monitors, and being that we've gotten the video and audio monitors, I'll be able to watch her as well as hear her!

We still have a few odds and ends to get but, and I've got to get my hospital bags ready and then decide on Gidget's "coming home outfit" (not sure how much is going to go into that, its going to be fridgid outside, she may just get bundled into a sleeper and her pink snow-bunting that we got her) and that's basically it.

The set up in the bedroom is only temporary, as I wanted her near me during the first two months, especially whilst recuperating from a C-Section.

Below is a photo of the crib we've just ordered for her that also has a matching armoire and dresser. I'm already dreading all the assembly that's going to require! *lol* Thankfully we won't be putting it altogether and getting it set up in her own room until around Valentines Day.

Well Gidget....as excited as we are to meet you and be able to hold you and snuggle you close...you just keep baking away till it's time to come out and introduce yourself. But with each and every day that passes, I grow ready to burst with happiness at the thought of you joining our family.
