I'm leaving to spend two weeks in Michigan on the 29th so I am hoping we have all this settled by then. It will be so wonderful to spend some time with my family and friends. I can't wait to see them all.
I've been doing some planning for the nursery. I haven't purchased anything because I wanted to wait until we were oficial, but I've been looking and researching. I think I've found the crib I want and I am most likely going to go with a dresser as a changing table. That way we have lots of storage. Plus it can grow with the baby. It's lots of fun to look.
I've done some research on the safest baby products too (high chair, car seat, etc). Lots to learn! If you have any suggestions, I'd love for you to share them with me. I'm also checking out rockers/gliders. Which one do you have? I am leaning towards a comfy/fluffy glider with ottoman. Not the basic wooden and cloth covered glider. I want something that I can just snuggle right into and rock our baby as long as I want to. What do you have or what do you plan to get? Feel free to post about other ideas too.

Things are getting pretty exciting! Love the pool pics! And have fun planning a nursery! Can't wait to see WHO God has in store for your family!
Awww! ;) So exciting! It's all soooo close :)
I bought a regular big, overstuffed, comfy recliner/rocker. Then, if I fell asleep with the babe, I could stay there! ;)
I also didn't ever buy a changing table. I Bought a changing pad, and put it on top of the dresser. That was way easier for me.
HOW fun! I am so excited for you!
I am SOOOOO excited for you!! Keep us all updated! :-)
I too am thinking I'll go with a dresser/changing table. Very versatile.
Off the top of my head, I'd say you want a couple of Britax Roundabout car seats. They will last you a long time, they're super-comfortable, and their safety record is awesome. Bummer they are also very expensive. :) But we loved ours, and in retrospect, that's one of the few baby products where we absolutely made the right decision.
I'll get back to you about our rocker/recliner. It's super-comfortable, but I can't remember the name. :)
P.S. We also skipped the changing table. I bought a comfy pad for the floor, and covered it with the chenille covers from Pottery Barn Kids. They cost too much, but they're the softest around.
Awww, this is all SO exciting!! Can't wait to see pics of your nursery when its all done!!
Great thinking on the dresser/changing table, that is what we are doing too! It just makes more sense I think. The rocker that I got is a Shermag. I wanted to make sure it had really thick padding because someone told me that that is very important for it to be comfortable! :) I hope you guys get picked right away!!!
Wonderful news, and I hope you have a great trip! Things are moving along!!! So exciting.
How exciting! I hope you are on the list before the month is over and hopefully matched soon after that!
Awesome!
I look forward to seeing what you come up with for your nursery!
So exciting! I'm so glad it is moving quickly for you! You know what I did with my nursery - i definitely like the idea of of a changing pad on a dresser. I think actual changing tables are a waste, because what do you do with them when the baby is older? And I LOVE my glider from JCPenney. I think I gave you that info already, though, right?
Oh, btw, we're also from MI and are visited the end of August for a couple of weeks:).
Wow Jennifer, congrats on getting your Homestudy done. I have no advice on the glider or any other baby products. I doing my own research and don't even know where to start.
So glad things are moving right along. :) How exciting!!
how exciting!
I just started creating our registry and it is so much fun! A bit overwhelming trying to pick the perfect stroller and the safest carseat, etc...but mostly fun!
I just sent my profile books into the agency today and I'm tickled that things are moving along! I'll be following you, too! So exciting!
What great news!!! XOXO
Yeah! God is so good! I don't have any baby advice yet, but I will continue to pray for the day that the precious child that God has planned for you is in your arms! Love you! Have fun on your trip; spending time with family is one of the best things in the whole world. -Karla
