So I think Tallen's nursery is basically finished. However, I am limited to posting photos because its Christmas time and we have some Christmas stuff still lurking in his room! We just don't have anywhere else to store/hide it! We have a 3 bedroom house and we are basically outgrowing it like super quick!
I will get pictures hopefully soon, but here is our to do list:
-To create more room we are going to redo our closet. Its a walk in but its not a large walk in. So we are going to pull out the hanger shelf things and do some built ins. One large like 7-8 foot built in that is about 3ish foot wide. So this will be Tyler's "dresser". Pretty much ALL of his stuff should fit in there. If not he needs to get rid of some. Then on my side which is the longer side of the closet will have a built-in in the center. Not large, maybe 2 foot wide. On each side it will have upper and lower hanger rods for our clothing that needs to be hung. The dresser that is currently Tyler's will go into Tallen's closet. The nursery is really small and already has a small dresser in there, but we do need more storage and the dresser in the closet worked great for Lakelyn and allows more room space so we're going it again for his. Plus the dresser matches the "big boy" bed he will eventually be getting too! So this is a big project that we need to get done before he comes because again we'll have to store all our closet stuff in his room to get it done!
-The new monitors need to be installed and hooked up
-We still need to get down the swing, pack and play, the breast pump, and a few other baby items
-The stroller and rock and play needs to be put together and carseats need to be installed and Lakelyn's moved over in both vehicles
-Christmas stuff will have to be taken down and put up before he comes, but obviously not until after Christmas!
-Hospital bags need to get packed for both of us. Tyler will come home again to take care of the dogs and shower and change clothes (hopefully he only has to do this ONCE this time not 5 days). Lakleyn will stay with his parents while we're at the hospital. She shouldn't need a bag packed she has stuff at their house, but I will probably add some stuff to her current diaper bag which basically consists of pull ups and wipes in case of accidents.
-I need to get January and probably February's bills set up and taken care of so i'm not worried about that after he comes.
-Our back door needs to be replaced and some of the flooring too because of water damage. We are putting the same door, but adding a screen door this time to hopefully help keep the dogs from scratching to get in. They know good and well they don't get left outside I don't understand why they can't just chill and wait for us to get back to the door!
-The ceiling in my bathroom needs to be repainted. My bathroom is super small and this would literally take 20 minutes, but I can't reach it and don't trust the setup I have to do to reach it while i'm this large.
-The guest bathroom "Tyler's" bathroom needs to be repainted and I need to get a new shower curtain in there. Again, painting issues. I have the pain and everything just need help. I guess this isn't something that HAS to be done, but I would feel so much better with all of out "to dos" DONE before he gets here that way if we decide to sell its ready to be put on the market and i'm not worried about getting stuff done with 2 kids!
