Over the weekend my mom, step-mom, mother-in-law, sister, & best friend hosted a baby shower for me - it was amazing! They did such a good job, everything was great - decorations, food, company, gifts for the little guy! I am so thankful to have such wonderful people who took the time not only to plan it but those that took the time to attend as well. This baby is very loved already and he isn't even here yet! :) I had so much stuff after the shower when I got home i was a little overwhelmed and had no clue where to put anything. So, I started cleaning - my poor house has been neglected lately. I have been very tired lately and not had the energy to get much done. My husband has been working more at the pizza place and my son has been on vacation with his dad so the house has not gotten much attention. You would think with those 2 being gone and me in and out of the house (I dont know what I have been up to but I haven't been home) it would make the house easier to keep clean but it seems like when you are running in and out is when it is the worst! This week my son starts All Star baseball - he has a practice game tonight, then games Tues, Wed, Thurs & Sat of this week. I plan to take him to the Daviess County fair on Friday so this week we won't be home either. Maybe I can get some cleaning done tonight and tomorrow before the games start - tonight doesn't start until 730 and tomorrow is 8 at Jasper!!
Back to the shower, I wish I had some pictures but unfortunately I didn't take my camera so I am going to have to wait and see if I can get some from the others that were there that took pictures. There were plenty taken - I couldn't see by the time they were done from all the flashes! Haha. The baby got so many nice gifts - I can't wait until he gets here so he can actually use them!! I pretty much ordered everything I didn't get and still needed with the money/gift cards I received at the shower. Once all of this comes in - we should be completely ready.
I also ordered the furniture for the baby room today. I had ordered it a while back and when I got it the crib didn't match the finish of the changing table and dresser (which didn't end up matching each other either - I will get to that in a minute.) When I got the stuff home I put the changing table together and then got the crib out to start putting together but noticed right away it didn't match my changing table very well. When I bought it, it wasn't a set but i read reviews and people said they had bought these 3 pieces together and the crib matched perfectly. WRONG! They were both espresso finish but the crib had a cherry tint to it and the changing table didn't. So, I took the crib back and was searching to find a crib that matched. In the meantime, I got the dresser out and was putting it together. The directions had me putting the drawers together first - I got to the knobs and realized they didn't match the changing table ones and they were suppose to. So I got online and looked at my order and sure enough I had ordered a 4 drawer dresser and was in the process of putting together a 5 drawer dresser - they sent me the wrong one! So, I called and they said i could bring it all back! Now the new stuff is on its way - this time it was a SET so everything will match! I hope! Haha. Hated buying it over the internet not being able to actually see it but since it is a set I feel like it should be ok. Once it all gets here I will be able to put everything together and get the baby room organized - then we will just wait for the baby... :)
