What?! Only 9 More Weeks?!

Less than 9 weeks till my little baby arrives. There's so much left to do! Last weekend we went to my parents and visited the Emeryville Ikea. While there we picked up a lot of the furniture that I wanted for baby's room. Today we assembled the first piece. Yes, that's all we were able to get through!

There's a drawer missing from the top because while were assembling that drawer the MDF split, and we need to exchange it. It was too bad, too, because we were on such a roll!

What else is there to do? Let's see. Buy a crib! Yes, they were out of the crib at Ikea. They are out of that crib at every Ikea in CA. You see, they needed to recall all their cribs, and they're just now getting them back in stock. So, I'm calling weekly to see if they have the crib that I want.

This crib is great because it's low! I can lean over it and not hurt myself. This crib also turns into a toddler bed by removing one side. OH, and it's dark. Andrew and I want dark wood in the baby's room.

So, we still have another dresser, another cabinet that's about half the size of the dresser, and a toy box to put together, all of this after we get the crib! All in 9 weeks!!! It took Andrew and me an entire afternoon to put together the one dresser! *le sigh* Okay, then we need to wash all the clothes that we have been given, by my mom and by some friends, organize baby's room, and rearrange the furniture in there.

Sometime before Christmas I need to start cleaning up the rest of the house, but I'll leave that for another post.
