Adventures in Calgary

Crib? Check. Bedding? Check. Diapers? Check. Wipes? Check...too many other baby supplies to mention? Check. Now all we need is Molly Rose.

It was so cool to get up to pee in the night and see our crib assembled. I can already imagine Molly sleeping (or more likely laying and crying) in it. I can't wait to see what she looks like and what her personality is going to be. I think these last 5 weeks are going to go very, very slowly.

Assembling the crib wasn't nearly as horrible as I'd been fearing. Noel and I managed to get everything but the sliding rail done on our own without any fighting. Then the directions failed us. Luckily, our neighbour Brent came in and was able to come to the very obvious conclusion that the directions were wrong. Once we were able to stray from the directions we had the last piece of the crib installed in no time.

Washing and drying the new crib mattress protector pad did not go as well. We already ruined it. Again, we followed the directions and got bit in the ass! Now our plastic backed mattress pad has got holes melted into it. Oh well.

Supposedly we're getting another package full of homemade blankets, sweaters, and whatnot from my mom this week. I can't wait to see all the new cute gear. My mom is a crocheting machine!

Today I had an afternoon of domesticity as I converted a beautiful tea cozy that Turner and Ash got us in India into a throw pillow. I haven't sewn anything since grade 11 I think. My finger hurts a bit from not using the thimble enough but other than that it was a very pleasant experience. Who knows, maybe I'll start sewing stuff?!?!?!
