Making room update continued

I can proudly say Matt did a fantastic job on all the honey do list that I had for him rearranging and making room.

We officially have a functioning in-law bedroom (by our standards, not Michigan real estate) in the basement.  Grandma Deni and Papa Ken stayed last night and they said it was quite nice.  We have walls, a door, molding, working lights, new outlets, new shelves and soft carpeting.  I promise we will post pictures soon.

Lilyana has her very own big girl room that she loves.  My mom came up last month to help paint Lil's room a beautiful teal blue. She has transitioned very well.  She has a twin bed and she sleeps through the night about 50% of the time. When she wakes up I go in and lay with her for an hour or so and then I'll move back to my bed.  It's usually pretty painless, she'll want to snuggle and we both fall asleep.

The baby's room is coming along. Matt converted the bed back into a crib and I have pulled out baby clothes to wash and put away.  I've pulled out baby toys, bottles and other baby stuff and have been busy reorganizing areas to accommodate the baby stuff again.

Some things I would still like to make happen before Ashlynn makes her appearance.

1) Install car seat bases into both cars.

2) Take a tour of the birthing area of the hospital (Since I will be at a differant hospital that I was at with Lilyana).

3) Pack hospital bag.

4) Would love to get new dresser and rearrange closets ( But I'm not betting on that one) Our custom made Amish dresser should be done early Feb.

5) Get pump from a friend.

6) Scrapbook a little more.
