On Sunday we closed out the weekend with a rain soaked trip back down I-80 to PA. It got a little bit interesting when it got dark and we were in the mountains and the temp dropped to 32 degrees. Overall with the weather and traffic it took us about an hour and a half longer to get home than normal. It also doesn't help that I have to stop and pee a bit more often than usual at this point. (The trip home for Christmas at 30 weeks should be even more interesting) Happily when we did make it back to PA the rain had let up enough for us to un-load all the baby gear we received at the shower. For now - it is laid out nicely on the bed in our guest bedroom. Jeremy is set to patch walls and prime this weekend in the Nursery followed by paint next weekend and then we will start to put the room together with all of the new goodies.
We got a lot of the "big stuff" off of our registry which is awesome! Car seats, pack and play, high chair etc. So much less to worry about between now and then. Over the next few weeks I am going to put together a list of any items that are "must haves" before Rece arrives and do a little shopping. Today Jeremy and I both had the day off and we went to Target and bought our crib mattress with some gift cards we got. I really want to put the whole crib ensemble together, it already looks a lot more "real" with the mattress. :-)
Here is a picture of all of the goodies from the shower, this doesn't even include all of the books! My mom had a great idea to have each shower guest write a message in a children's book and now Rece already has a shelf full of books at his disposal!
