Baby Shower

It is almost time, the baby is almost here, just a matter of weeks now.  Our friends threw us a couples baby shower last weekend, which was great fun.  We ate wonderful homemade lasagna and Dena had baked a cake and decorated it as a baby boy, so cute!  And it tasted delicious.  We have a few more things for the baby boy, which is great, some things to replace the items that we left in the US.  I managed to bring half the baby things with us in the shipment, the important things like the big baby swing, and the bassinet, but forgot the things like the baby bouncer seat and the little play mat to help with tummy time etc...  The whole living overseas thing with stuff left in the US can be a bit disorganized and confusing, I think this summer I need to take an inventory of items left at Greg's folks house to have so I am not guessing about where things might be!  

I am entering the organized and cleaning phase of the pregnancy, a little panicked that things wont be the way I want them before the baby comes, and it will be my fault because I would rather sit downstairs and play with Lily than go upstairs and organize my closet!  Good thing I have Levi to come and clean, she is helping me with a few of the extra things that I want to get done.  

Tomorrow I should have all the pictures up, and that stage should be officially done, which will be a nice sign of accomplishment for me.  I have had the pictures up downstairs for a while now, and the pictures up in Lily's room, but that is it, I have all the others just sitting around waiting for me to make up my mind about where I want them to go, and some needed new frames which I am getting today.  I think the maintenance guys will be happy when I am done calling them to drill holes in the walls.  I call them every week at least once, for such little things as light bulbs going out.  It seems like a waste to have someone come and change a light bulb, but they don't want you to do it, so you have to call.  It is there job, and it is nice to know that if there is a problem a bit more serious than a light bulb gone out that someone will be hear to fix it within the hour.
