Little wiggle worm...

Sylvia is getting big enough now that I am starting to really feel her on a regular basis. I have been feeling her for a while now, but it still seems to suprise me a little bit when she gets going. It's like she saying "Hey mom, I just want you to know I'm in here!". My belly is in a crazy growing stage...I swear it's getting bigger every day! I know for sure bigger than last week, just based on how my clothes fit me.

Such an exciting time!

I think we have decided on a crib from Walmart, one at a very reasonable price that will convert into a toddler bed/day bed and then will be able to serve as a headboard for a regular twin size bed. Which means we can use it for several years! We don't want to go crazy and spend an outrageous amount on the actual crib frame, but we will probably want to spend a little bit more on the mattress, since this is the important part.

We found a cheap and nice corner computer desk at Walmart, which we need b/c we are turning the guest bedroom into our guest bedroom/computer room. It's not a very big room so having the little corner desk will save some space.

We also found a cheap, baby friendly, and attractive TV stand at Walmart which will allow us to hide the cords. (Unlike the one we currently have which is VERY unsafe for a baby that we will blink and they will be into everything.)

I am having a really hard time deciding what kind of swing to get...

Honestly this whole baby shopping thing is completely overwhelming. There are a million and one different types of whatever it is I'm looking at, and of course a million and one product reviews, which I feel compelled to read so that I can be an informed consumer.

We really need to go ahead and buy the big stuff though and get things in their places so that I feel confident and ready that our home is baby ready. Allen and I are both known procrastinators...we really can't do that with a baby on the way. It's either do it now...when our lives are calm and we have enough sleep to function, or regret it later when we are sleep deprived and have a newborn to take care of.

Of course we wont be painting any of the walls because of renting, but there are alot of really cute things that can be bought to decorate, but everything is EXPENSIVE. I need to sit and think and get creative!! :)
