Friday evening we went to Barnes & Noble and grabbed a couple baby name books to try to find a name for our little girl. That took a while. When you have 100,000 names to look at (well, maybe cut that in half since the book is for boy and girl names), it takes a while. We jotted down a few ideas to ponder in the coming weeks.
Now we're in the process of getting the baby room ready. I know, it's sounds really early. But trust me, with all the junk we've collected over the past two years, we need to start now. We're going to buy the furniture set from our friends, which includes a crib, changing table and armoire. They're getting ready to leave the country and will be leaving at the end of October, so we'll be getting the set then. So that gives us about 2 1/2 months to get this room ready, which means we have to sell our huge desk and get a smaller desk, sell a large bookcase, a huge futon and move another bookcase into the living room.
If you know Kevin very well, you know he loves books. Getting rid of a bookcase is a huge sacrifice, so we're having to box up un-needed books and store them in our closets. Then we have to go through the other closets to get rid of other things we don't need to make room for those boxes of books, and so on and so forth. It's gonna be a big job, but I'm glad we have the time to do it. We did find a beautiful smaller desk to replace the gigantic one. We found it at a thrift store that benefits a battered women's shelter here in Tarrant County, Texas. So we're glad our money for the desk is going to a good cause.
Anyway, please pr that we can sell these items we need to get rid of and use that money toward the baby furniture. But most of all, pray for the health and safety of our little girl as the next 5 months she will continue to grow healthy and perfectly.
