Preparation Time!

What are we up to in preparation for operation chaos?? (aka- baby twins on the way)I wish we knew if we were going to be welcoming little boys or girls so that I could really start buying and planning things..but I'm trying to do what I can for now. I have a Dr. appointment on Monday...just to check on things. November 21st is the BIG day where we will find out what we are having!! (The days are going by slow)

Well...we're trying to conquer a few things. I have been doing lots of looking around for ideas for the nursery. I know many people who claim they didn't use their nursery...so my goal is to make it functional and useful, but cute. (On a budget!) We got a SUPER cute antique dresser from another MoM (Mother of Multiples!) for $45. It is painted with an antique finish as well which makes it super cute & shabby chic! Here is a picture of it!

It is our first piece for the nursery, and I am gonna take it an create a room around it. (Don't mind Rusty our Yorkie-Poo's little behind in front of it. They even gave us extra paint with it so we can use it for touch ups, etc. We also got a nice Jenny Lind bassinet from another MoM AND a breast pump. (Excitment!!) Those were both given to us for free. So as you can see...we haven't spent very much at all, and have already began getting together some things in preparation.

I absolutely love this one website http://www.chiccheapnursery.com/ . It is full of wonderful ideas for nurseries, and offers many ways to save money on DIY things, or cheaper alternatives to big splurge items. I am guilty of sitting around looking at this website for a few hours per day, I admit.

I'm looking at Ikea for some furniture/shelving options (Super cheap and cute stuff) and also have been hitting up craigslist and yard sales. Just this morning, Harold and I went driving around (like old people I joked) finding yard sales. We will buy some things new, but when we can find things like brand new for less money..I figure it is dumb of us not to do that. Plus, it's kind of fun taking the time to shop around.

Last week we went out with our friends Ashley and Tony to a haunted fire house for Halloween. It was really fun! Then we went to the Sponge Docks and walked around. We had some late night Greek food which was delicious, and got some desserts to-go!  The top pic I look super sleepy...lol... I feel tired most of the time, so it's pretty accurate. I don't feel like I have a pregnancy glow, but if I do ever..I'd say the bottom would be the closest I am to it, lol.

Well...my husband just pointed out that I'm humming the Jeopardy theme out loud...so I guess it's time to stop spacing out writing my blog, haha.
