So, for those of you curious about whether I actually stuck to my plan of getting the nursery-to-be cleared out last weekend the answer is a resounding YES! At about 5 p.m. last Sunday I decided that I could not let Monday come without at least making some progress. So, while Michael did yardwork, I started moving stuff out. (This actually worked out well because it meant that I was in total control of what to keep and what to toss out! Eureka! (Just kidding honey, you still have one last chance to go through "your" stuff!)) The end result is a now empty nursery-to-be and a newly designated "catch all" room. This weekend's project will be going through the boxes of stuff we moved out and (hopefully) throwing away a majority of the contents.
In other nursery-related news, we finally found a changing table/dresser to meet our expectaions and also purchased a rocker-glider. (This after much debate on whether we needed a rocker-glider when we have a "perfectly good" Lazy Boy recliner in the living room.) I can not tell you the sense of relief I now feel having all of this behind us. Now we just have to paint and wait for everything to come in!
Enough about the nursery (I can't help myself, I'm excited!)... Not sure if this is a sign or not, but when we bought the new Yukon last May to accomodate the future growth of our family (of course at that time we thought the future would be a little further off) we had four blissful months of driving a brand-new, blemish-free vehicle (sans the "garage-door incident of late-summer 2006" where someone (o.k., me) managed to back out of the garage before allowing the door to reach maximum clearance thereby introducing the first scratch to the Yuke while also managing to successfully (yet accidentaly) knock garage door off it's tracks at the same time.) Anyhoo, in the short almost 7 months since we found out we're having a baby we've had someone run into the back of the Yuke and cause damage, not once, but twice! The latest incident happening just this week. And, both times, said accidents appear to have occured while at scheduled doctor's appointments! What does this mean? Well, nothing, except that people who hit other peoples' cars and cause damage and leave without a trace stink (g-rated version for mom!)!
On that note, hope you all have a Happy Easter weekend.

Let us know when you are ready to paint. I love to paint. Especially if I don't have to clean up afterwards!! Ha! Just kidding of course! I am looking forward to seeing yall tommorow!! Love you!!
Oh, and Micheal, do NOT let Lisa get rid of all of your stuff! You need a room all to your self where you can have all of "your stuff" on display. A place where you can go to relax and unwind. I let Jay have just such a room, where he can go to get away and do things that he wants to do without interuption...it is called the garage!! Ha! Ha!! Just kidding of course! Love you too!!
I am glad that you got the room cleaned out!
