Odds and Ends

So we've begun to assemble things...I kept saying we needed to just so the dogs could get used to all the baby stuff. Of course they haven't so much as looked at the pack n play or the swing so far so hopefully that will continue.

I was so set on Grant going directly to his crib in the nursery but the more I talk to people, the more I am realizing this might be a bigger battle than it is worth. Mom had already purchased a pack n play for her house and has handed it over for us to have in our room for the first few weeks at least (I'm still determined he will be in the nursery fairly soon). Jon got it set up (with little cussing and only a few glances at the directions) and it is now residing in the corner of the bedroom.



We also have the swing set up in the living room for the dogs to get used to, they don't seem to care but we have yet to put in the batteries and get it going, so we shall see.



I've also started my "suggested reading list" compiled from Melissa and Shannon. I've started with this one...

and then will go on to this one...


as well as the one in my last post that Shannon recommended.

I'll leave you with some new pics of the newest animal baby in the family...Bella! (2 weeks old)
