Making room for baby

Planning for a new baby is so much fun, but a lot of work!! I thought it would be pretty easy considering this is our second, but it's actually more work this time around. We are turning the guest room into Caroline's big girl room. We are turning Caroline's current room into the new baby's nursery. We are working on making the laundry room more useable (more shelving and storage plus a "folding station" coming off the wall) since we can no longer use the guest room for storage and folding/sorting clothes. We've still got some baby gear to get, including a double stroller. We have nursery furniture, but we're looking for C's big girl furniture. We have several other house projects that we want to finish before #2 gets here as well. We're certainly going to be busy. This isn't so easy considering Adam's hectic work schedule and orders from my cardiologist to be as "sedentary as possible." Yeah right...

The second trimester is days away and I'm starting to feel the need to get things moving around here! Adam has forbidden me from painting (which is probably not a bad thing) although I'm tempted to everyday. If anyone feels like painting, moving furniture, hanging light fixtures, or picking out bedding and fabric you are more than welcome to come to our house!!!

Anyway, since we haven't done much around the house we decided to take care of some other things that don't take up much time or energy. We bought Baby Israel 2 a new swing. We had borrowed a swing when C was born but we figured it was time we got our own. We got the "My Little Lamb" cradle and swing. It's all set up and ready for a baby!! Atleast we can check that off our list!
