First, I decided the closets in our house needed major organizing. First I started with T's. Right now, he and I have our own closets because all of my stuff is in the guest room. . . aka, the future baby's room. Well, his closet was a disaster! Sorry for throwing you under the bus T! ;-) After organizing his closet, which even involved some color coordination, I went on to the hall closet. This is the space where we keep linens, medicine, lotions, etc. Equally a disaster. I went to a local dollar store and found these great plastic, stackable organizers, and went to town. This is a closet that I try to not even look in because it's been a complete disaster area. After organizing everything, I realized we had about 3 of everything! I'm sure we look in the closet for stuff, can't find it, and then go out and by it. I'm mad I didn't take any pictures of the finished closet, because it is so darn organized! And now that it is so organized, it looks like we have SO much more room. 2 closets DONE!
After that, T and I decided to blow off the football game on TV, and head to Ikea to look at baby furniture. It was a smart idea going during the game, as Ikea wasn't as packed as it usually is. (A few years ago, T and I made the rule of never going to Ikea on the weekends because that place gets extremely over crowded) We found a lot of great baby items and got a lot of ideas on how we want to decorate the baby's room. I didn't see my dream crib at Ikea, but no worries, I ended up finding the PERFECT CRIB at Tar.get. It's gorgeous! The best part is that the crib converts into a toddler bed, and eventually, it converts into a full-sized bed. This may be the only bed we'll have to buy for the monkey. :-D
So, it's official. I'm definitely nesting. I am hoping and praying that the final document arrives today so I can overnight it to our adoption agency. I'm trying not to be anxious, but I'm losing that battle so far. ;-)
Did you do major nesting when you were expecting?
If you haven't done so already, you should join this week's raffle! You won't be disappointed, and this will be yours! The raffle ends Thursday at 5pm.
