Making Room for Baby Lily

I am about 28 weeks now and we are trying to take the necessary steps to make room for Baby Lily in our lives. Our first step was to buy a family car. Brad's truck was starting to break down quite a bit and was becoming unreliable for work and unsafe. We both have to replace our vehicles since our cars are not baby friendly. Brad had a two door, two seater truck and I own a two door convertible. We were planning on purchasing my car first, but I am being really indecisive about what car I want to get. Brad had been watching a GMC online since Christmas time and it dropped $3000 in price. So we decided to go take a look at it. It was perfect for what we wanted in a family car, better on gas than his truck, lots of room to go camping, big trips to Costco......exactly what we were looking for. Brad and I like to play good guy bad guy when making big purchases. Brad is always the good guy who makes nice with the salesman and I'm the hard ass that won't give in unless we get a deal. We thought for sure we wouldn't get away with it on the purchase of this car, but sure enough we got it for $2000 less than what they were asking from the reduced price due to the economy and the fact that it was hard to sell a GMC vehicle at a Lexus dealership. Bad for them, but great for us. Brad was so happy to have a new car and I am so happy to have a safe car that we can take family trips in. Its really nice!

The next step was converting our spare bedroom into a nursery for Baby Lily. We had turned the spare room into our office. I spent hours cleaning out the room, organizing, and figuring out where all of our stuff was going to go. Comcast came and moved our computer to the den. I love it! Our den is an office/sitting area where people can sit and chat while I make dinner. I'm also going to use it as a play room for Lily and the kids. It will be nice to keep the toys out of the living room and have a good spot to store them all. Next step.....paint the walls, rip up the carpet, and install the wood flooring!
