So...the swing saga continues. The base and sides are put together as are the electronic devices (vibrating, music & speed). The problem is with the supports and bouncy legs (swing comes off supports and can be used for a bouncy/kicky seat). Hmmm. I was thinking about taking it back to the store and asking for some help (or paying them to put the ^&^%#$@%$&^%*&&#$@#$@!!^% thing together!). LOL It's crazy, don't you think?
    I did, however, get the high chair put together and the pack and play is just about ready for use. The stroller remains in the back of my car (all boxed up for now) until the time is closer. It's a travel system complete with the temporary removable car seat so Mommy & Daddy don't have to wake a sleeping baby...just take the carrier from the stroller and click into place in the car. I don't want any more stuff in this house than I need (won't ever need the stroller in the house) and the stroller will live in the car for as long as our wee one needs it.
    My mom came over for a visit today (something she doesn't do very often, although it's more frequent these days which is nice!) so I did some extra picking up around here. I have to say that the house is looking really nice lately and I am loving it. Sure, there are still rooms that need attention (ummm...the music room is downright scary and so is the mudroom...but it IS mud season)but things are getting finished. Nice. Homey. I'm happy with it!
    My best girlfriend and I spent the day together yesterday. She decided she had had enough of all the baby stuff she was setting aside for me (her words were, "YOUR baby stuff is taking up HALF of my BED! You are taking it TODAY!) so she brought out bag after bag of oh so sweet baby girl things (can't remember if I posted it here or not but we are expecting a baby girl SOON). I brought it all in from the car this afternoon and laid it all out on the counter top to remove tags and to make a list of everything so I can write her a thank you note. So, now that means I'm off to the nursery to put more things away with great anticipation and good thoughts for our little one.

*Happy Contented Sigh*

I can't wait until she is here!!!
