New Furniture

I called Homemakers on Saturday to check on the status of our furniture order. The first group of items were supposed to be in this week sometime. The second group were not due until April. The wonderful customer service rep I talked to said everything from the first delivery was in except for a couple of nightstands (which will fit in our car if they are not in before delivery on Friday). And when I went to set up delivery, they asked if we wanted the second group of items delivered as well, or if we wanted to wait for the last counter stool to come in. I asked the lady to repeat herself, since I was not expecting the items to be in for another 3+ months. Sure enough--- everything but one counter stool has arrive (and the counter stool will fit in the car very easily!) So... our furniture is set to arrive sometime on Friday!!! All but those three small pieces. I feel like a kid the week before Christmas.

This also means that Ellie will have her first night in her big girl bed on Friday, and we will have all weekend to work on keeping her in bed before we have to go back to work/day-care. I am nervous- but given how wonderful she has been with all the other changes it will probably be easy (and if not, we are about due for a difficult venture). AND she will get to use the new bedding I picked out for her! I have been eying the bedding since we first found out we were having a girl almost 2 1/2 years ago! When they were discontinuing it this past fall I finally broke down and purchased it. I hope Ellie likes it as much as I do. I know, she probably won't care, but I can pretend. When the day-care lady asked her what color her new room was (when we first moved into the new house) she said purple... it is currently green. Now she will get the purple room she wanted! Pictures to come once we get everything set-up.

*And once we have Ellie's furniture we can set-up the baby's room and I can start unpacking the bins of tiny little girl clothes that are in the basement! Lots of fun to keep me busy for the next 10-12 weeks.
