We are taking full advantage of Derek having a few weekends off this month. Organize, purge and reconfigure was the name of the game this weekend! On Saturday morning we picked up all the twin stuff from Eugenia. Considering we didn't have anywhere to put it, this was the impetus we needed to start organizing!
The back bedroom (aka, the nursery) is now filled with crib parts and the basement is storing things like play yard, booster seats, and a pack-and-play. At this stage we are way ahead of the game in many respects!
On Sunday we went to Ikea to look at other nursery furniture like dressers. We picked one out we really like, but we need to do some measuring to make sure it will fit. Next we went to Jordan's Furniture and bought a rocker/recliner. It is a chocolate brown color and covered in microfiber so it is nice and cozy. I figured that I will be doing many solo late night feedings while Derek works, so having a good chair would be a worthwhile investment. Here's me & Serena testing it out.
We decided to set up the chair in the living room for the time being. As I get bigger and more uncomfortable as the summer progresses, the chair will give me another seating option! It will move into the nursery when the babies arrive, but eventually it will come back out to the living room as a new piece of furniture. As you might be able to see in the photo below, my belly has really exploded recently. Nice people on the bus now offer me their seat (not all people, just the nice ones).
After working our butts off all weekend, I took a break for some fun on Sunday night. Kristin & I went to a lobster shack in Rockport! You can see what a beautiful view of the ocean and sunset we had...
I hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!
