last night, b and i went on something of a scavenger hunt. we visited the homes of our family and collected various baby things they had set aside from us.
from nancy, we got a car-seat and cloth diapers
from joy, we got a crib and a play-pen
from meg, we got a little tub and baby bullet.
we're super fortunate to have received so many helpful things from family and friends. having a crib feels pretty crazy! it's still disassembled in the back of our car, but simply knowing we have a crib is sobering. it will feel very real when we have that crib in our room! the house is a total mess right now from all the supplies we collected and from the baby shower gifts we got on sunday. i'm hoping to make a solid dent tonight, or at least get organized. i like that the baby is going to share our bedroom, he's just a little baby after all. i can't imagine having him down the hall in the front bedroom. that feels too far away. i'm so looking forward to the weekend. it will be nice to have work finished and i can move forward with getting ready for birth and baby.
i really like that my nieces and nephews all used that crib, and it's now been passed on to us for our kids :)from nancy, we got a car-seat and cloth diapers

this past saturday was skeleton park music festival. it was really great up until the point when it started raining. even then it wasn't bad, but it made it difficult to sit on the ground, and my legs and feet were getting tired, so i went home for a rest. but while i was there soaking my feet, it started raining more heavily and they had to pack up the show for the sake of the sound equipment. they did relocate to the goat and played a street concert on princess, but it wasn't quite the same as the park. i love lying around in the park all day surrounded by friends, strangers, neighbours, kids of all ages. there's never any place i'd rather be, which probably explained my disappointment of having to relocate because even the best alternatives pale in comparison to the atmosphere in the park. i guess i'll just look forward to next year's show with great enthusiasm.
cause everything will start again anew.
