Progress, take three.

I just got an email from our realtor back in KC. Our buyer just backed out of our contract. Oh wait, you didn't know our house is still for sale in KC? Yes, it is. This buyer backed out for no good reason, and right now I'm super angry about it. For once, it's not even Wells Fargo's fault... just the buyer. Seriously, maybe the third contract we get on the house will actually go through. Third times a charm...? Sigh... so so so frustrating.

Anyway, trying to change the subject so it doesn't ruin my entire day ... I'm here to report on how close I am to being ready for the baby to get here. Here's my updated to-do list:

• Sort through Jaxon's old newborn/0-3 month clothes, cry because half of them are fleece and it will be 70+ degrees when this baby comes, and put them away.
• Buy a dresser, to put the above mentioned clothes away.
• Buy short sleeved clothes / light fabric long sleeves {newborn and 0-3 months} to replace the above mentioned fleece clothes that he won't be able to wear. {thanks, texas!}
• Get out the "baby stuff" and put it all away / set it up. {Boppy, baby tub, swing, bouncer, etc.}
• Buy newborn diapers. Buy any diapers. Just buy diapers. {this one seriously put me in a panic a couple weeks ago when I realized I haven't bought a.n.y.}
• Buy a baby book. Easy enough, you would think, but I can't find any. Any. Thanks Nana!
• Buy month to month stickers, to take pics on each "month birthday"
• Buy a co-sleeper.
• Buy a diaper bag.
• Buy crib bedding. {Jaxon will use his crib bedding on his new toddler bed, once he moves to his toddler bed, that is.}

You'll notice that some of my "to-do's" are only half done. Like, I did sort through all of Jaxon's clothes {and cried the entire time} but I don't have a dresser here yet, so I can't put them away. Tyler's parents graciously offered to bring an extra dresser they have sitting around their house that they aren't using to give to us when they come. So once they arrive and we get it set up, I can cross that one off my to-do list too. The other thing that's half done is the task of getting out all of the baby things and setting them up ... they are all out of storage, but I need to clean and sanitize them, and set them up. And install the car seat.

Oh, did I mention my husband is working every day up until the baby comes for the next week? He switched around his schedule so that he could have more time to be with me/us after the baby is born, which I appreciate. So I'm trying to remember that as I sit alone each day for the 13 hours he's gone... at least he comes home at night which is better than a few months ago when we were living 11 hours apart. {reality check!}

Still looking for a bassinet or co-sleeper... yeah, I'm a week away from d-day and still have no place for the baby to sleep... no biggie......

The only other thing that I need to do, that's not on my list, is pack my bags. Pack my hospital bag, and the diaper bag. I need to google the list of things to bring, I can't think of anything besides remembering newborn binky's. What can I say... mom of the year, right here ;) I'll do it one of these days ...

I guess I'm in a procrastinating kind of mood today.

One week from today my Mom and Grandma will be flying in! I can't wait!

And just because a post without pictures is boring...

I got 2 of these stools/chairs for our kitchen table off Craigslist yesterday. The guy paid $210 for them each, and I got them both for $75.

Score!
