This week has been a rainy one! I've spent a lot of time in the house which has been both good and bad.
The best part about being home is that I finally feel like we're ready for this second little munchkin to show up! I got around to digging out Abby's old stuff and getting it clean and ready for baby girl #2. Our car seat is ready to be put into the Santa Fe, I have all the receiving blankets out, I have a few clothes ready to go (though this is where we lack to most at the moment due to not keeping the 0-3 month clothes we had for Abby), and we finally have a place for her to sleep.
I was able to find this cute, gently used, bassinet/moses basket from another mom in the area. We didn't want to spend a ton of money on something but needed somewhere to put baby for the first little while. We still have Abby in the crib and would love to keep her there as long as possible. After tumbling head first out of the crib a month (or so) ago she hasn't tried to escape since....and having her contained in the crib has just been so much easier! She'll wake up in the morning and happily play with her mountain of stuffed animals which has allowed me to drink my coffee in peace. I'm enjoying these moments right now while I have them, that's for sure!
We also only have three bedrooms in this house which means that if company comes we need to be able to have baby in our room. We plan to keep her in the spare bedroom when we can, but with visitors coming to meet baby we wanted to have her sleeping arrangements somewhat flexible.
We're hoping to move out of this place when our lease is up at the end of February. Sharing a house with another family is really just not for us - especially when we have dogs and kids running around all day and the family downstairs is home during the day as well. They have really odd hours and have a very different family dynamic compared to us and it's just hard. All that to say, we are hoping to be out of here in a few months and at that point we can decide on different sleeping arrangements for the kids.
Oh, and here's Abby's Halloween costume for tonight! We're heading down to Crescent Beach to go trick-or-treating. It's her first Halloween (last year I felt she was too young - everyone would know we were just dressing her up to eat all her candy!) so it will be fun. We tried on her costume last week and she was pretty excited. Pictures to come later.
Happy Halloween! Have fun and be safe!
