How many bibs will we need??

 

[sherylb]

We rarely go to people's houses overnight but my MIL is planning to get a used pack and play for her house a mile away. I do have a sleep rocker for the first few months if we go somewhere for longer than I would like to keep him/her in a carrier.

 

[sherylb]

I have one friend that has at least 25 and she says she is constantly washing them b/c they are cloth. I want to get plastic ones. Not sure what the ones I have on my registry are.

 

[tl682]

I think the ones you have on there are cloth. I think I saw them in the store.

 

[tl682]

What about burpy cloths??

 

[sherylb]

Burp cloths are the rag you put on your shoulder while you are burping the baby. Super useful for drool and spitups. Very expensive though for what they do. I have read that you can get a pack of cloth diapers and use the for cheaper.

That is exactly what I used with my kids.

Is it bad that instead of buying the coach purse I wanted, I was tempted to get the diaper bag? Lol. I told my friend that she can feel free to make this a baby gift one day

 

[sherylb]

There is constantly someone selling a coach diaper bag on craigslist in our area. Very $$$ when you consider everything else you are going to buy that you have to have.

 

[Heather9603]

Yeah this was at the coach outlet so it actually wasnt too bad. Plus it has a lifetime guarantee so if it breaks they fix it or replace it for free.

I am right now. My plan was for my brother, cousin and I to paint the nursery tomorrow while DH worked on his school work. He came home earlier than I expected from school today and helped my brother and I so it is finished. So tomorrow we will take off all the tape/etc. and I can start setting out the baby's room. I bet I can even put the crib together with my brother's help and knowledge. I can't follow directions to save my life sometimes.

 

[sherylb]

Liz have you put your crib together yet? I love love love it! It's gorgeous!

 

[liz_legend]

crib not put together yet... Hopefully will be doing that sometime between Wed - Sat.

We're moving all our furniture in from the pod back into the house on Tuesday this week!
The house isn't 100% ready but we're running out of time. Our master bedroom is 90% done with only the closet doors & inside needing to be painted (sans furniture & curtains like I mentioned).

Nursery is 70% ready minus some missing floor & window molding (and of course the fact that the room is also empty and curtainless).

Living/Dining room is also 70% done (missing some floor molding & curtains, & all furniture).

But at least we're making progress!

 

[sherylb]

I got these blackout curtains for really cheap at Wal-Mart. I will have to report back my review on them. Saved $$ off anything on Amazon and they have good reviews. I got the shortest ones in Latte.

 

[sherylb]

Curtains are great. Hubby may have fixed the middle after I took a picture. Nursery picture album is linked in my signature.

You can see that I have the travel system all umbrella-ed up. I told Mark I planned to do that when I went shopping so people won't be touching and kissing the baby.

 

[ready4onemore]

Hey ladies,

Liz, can't wait to see the pictures. How are you feeling?

Sheryl, your nursery looks great. Love the table, very nice. I actually saw a lady at walmart before that had a sign on her daughters carrier that said, "Please do not touch the baby!"

 

[sherylb]

I may still do that but I love the umbrellas on my travel system. And strangers don't listen anyway.

 

[tl682]

Our crib is coming on Friday!! Can't wait.

My baby shower is set for August 20th!!

Where is Elliot?? She's delivering soon...

 

[liz_legend]

I cannot believe ur nursery is pretty much done! Soooo jealous! I have 9 weeks to go and still have a drop cloth protecting the floor from all the painting & reno & molding/trimm work going on in the room!!

I wanna be done! 6 days til our shower/cookout party so we will have to be done soon!
I want to sleep in our own bedroom again and have furniture in the house!! Agh

 

[sherylb]

I got FIL to hang the pictures from our wedding that have been sitting on the floor since at least October. We also hung 2 of our engagement pictures in the baby's room. It does feel great to have the nursery so far along but my shower won't be until September so it's a hurry up and wait gratification.
