Happy New Year!

Welcome to 2010 everyone! Shockingly Joe and I made it up a lot later than I thought we would but still went to bed before midnight. I think we were watching "The Office" or something? Anyhow, that "day of doing n-o-t-h-i-n-g" I mentioned in my previous post? Well....I lied. :) Wednesday night we discussed when we would go to pick out furniture for the nursery. Joe is doing a lot of hunting "things" most of the weekends in January and I wanted to be sure we got something taken care of before he got busy with that. So at the last moment yesterday morning we decided to head to Nebraska Furniture Mart in Kansas City (oh and Cabela's of course!) to get the furniture. I had seen a crib and changer online that I knew they had so didn't anticipate spending much time there. We ate lunch at Famous Dave's, went to Cabela's so Joe could spend a gift card and Syd could see all the animals. :) Then we went to the furniture mart! I found the crib and changer right away, it was in stock and we were really close to getting it when we discovered Sydney's diaper was dirty so I had to go change her. Of course Little Miss Independent had to climb down all 3 levels of stairs down to the bathroom and then get changed, etc. All this time meant that Joe had that much more time to think about our decision. ;) (What can I say? He's a thinker!) Anyhow when we returned we decided that we didn't want the changer because it was only a changer whereas Sydney's is a combo dresser/changer that we bought with the idea of it growing with her. We want the same for this baby...so..we kept looking. This created a domino effect that took us through 3 more "sets" of furniture! We ended up going with the fourth set we looked at and I am really excited about it! It will be delivered and set up Tuesday so then I can officially start getting that room ready for Baby! We were there so much longer than we anticipated and Sydney did get antsy but tolerated everything longer than we thought! Bless her little heart--she had a busy couple of days!! Soooo...today we did n-o-t-h-i-n-g. :)
