what a day...

Today our goal was to finish up the second bedroom...which meant:
  • moving the tv, tv stand, and bookcase out of the room (pau)
  • finding and putting together a bookcase for out in the living room (pau)
  • moving the books from the bedroom to the living room (almost pau)
  • hopefully finding and putting together a crib in the second bedroom (getting there)
It's now 5 p.m. and we have accomplished a lot, but not everything. We ran into a snag when putting the crib together...one of the freakin' holes in the mattress support rail is not big enough for the screw that is provided. Grr. Either we're going to figure out how to do it tonight, or we have to call Customer Service tomorrow (of course they're not open on Hawaii time) so that they can send us a replacement rail. I hate putting crap together and getting stuck through no fault of our own.

I know that we're putting the room together kind of early, being that we won't need it really until after December since I plan to have baby in our room for the very beginning, but I figure that it's better for us to do it now when we have some extra time and when I'm not so big and tired that I won't be of much help.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with what we accomplished. Now I gotta figure out what we're eating for dinner.

Wow! I admire you! When I was pregnant I wanted to put the crib together from the very beginning, but Todd being a Procrastinator waited almost to three weeks Troy was borne.

Having the baby in his/her room from the beginning is a GREAT idea. Troy stayed in his room since he was 2 months and Grandma Elaine help with the bed time schedule when she was here in March/April. THANK YOU Elaine!
