Checking Things Off the List

Will and I have been very busy trying to get everything done before the baby comes. Two weekends ago, we had some painting done on the outside of the house and we had Baby Garvin's bedroom and bathroom painted. We also ordered a crib and dresser for the nursery. Last weekend, Will's parents came to visit and to help us with landscaping. We also had our glider delivered. It's awesome! This weekend, Will and I bought a new car and went on a tour of the hospital. Yes, I threw buying a car in with the list of everything else. After we bought the car yesterday, we had to go grab lunch and then had to go off to the hospital. No time to focus on the car as we have a list of things that still need to be done.

For those who are interested, we bought a Volvo XC90 (you can see an older version of the car below) and we are very excited that we'll have it to carry little Madeleine in. We don't have the car, yet, but expect to pick it up next weekend. The dealer is getting it from another dealer somewhere and then has to install some options on the car. Yesterday, we also bought a whole bunch of toiletries so that we could begin to pack our hospital bag. I keep putting it off, but Will is putting his foot down and wants us to pack it in the next day or so. My apologies, but I don't have any pictures to post right now. I'll try to post some tomorrow, including pictures of some of our various projects.
