Getting ready for BABY!!

Well I think we could have this baby any day and we'd be ready... well, materially that is!! We got the Moses basket that we used with Ryan all washed and put back together so it's ready to go for the new baby! Ryan slept in this till he didn't fit in it anymore which was over 3mons. and I think close to 4 mons. It was so nice, especially when we moved to this house when he was 6 weeks old and we could just carry it from downstairs to upstairs without having to disturb him!
His crib is all ready to go when he's ready for it!
He has 2 dressers in his room and they are both totally full of clothes and blankets... mostly clothes! It's so nice being able to use Ryan's baby clothes as there is only 3 mons. between the months they were born which is really nice. However, I do like to shop so this little guy has also gotten plenty of new clothes just for him. It was really fun, though, going through all of Ryan's totes of baby clothes to pull out and wash for this new little guy and remembering how cute Ryan looked in each of them. Seems like yesterday...
We still have a couple little things to get done in his room which Jeff is planning to help with this weekend, like getting the curtains hung up and organizing the closet a little better as it was chalked full of of totes of Ryan's clothes which need to be rearranged so that we can get to the next age group of clothes when we're ready.
I have to say I feel way more relaxed about having this baby- I think mostly because we've already had a baby and there isn't quite as much of the unknown and the major life adjustment of me quitting my job and staying at home, moving 6 weeks after the baby is born like we had to with Ryan and the list goes on! I know it will still be a whirl wind, but I'm excited for it and even more excited for Ryan to have a brother!

Ally,

I can't believe that Baby Boon is coming so soon!! How exciting. Your house looks fantastic. And I love the pictures of Ryan helping you. Please let this serve as an invitation to call me night or day for anything that arises when the baby comes. Craig would love to have Ryan over for a playdate, too!! Talk to you soon!
love, Karen
