Jeff's mom altered the moses basket bedding in no time flat yesterday. She picked it up around noon yesterday and called me at like 7 and said she had it all done. I guess she removed all the elastic from the liner, sewed up the holes that were for the basket, and then added the pretty pink ribbons that actually velcro underneath the cradle for easy removal/washing. It is much prettier in person I think.. I don't think the colors show up well.. Its pale pink with brown piping. and its all so soft.. I can't wait to put little Evie in it. I would like to use it in our room, but I don't know if its too small for all night sleeping.. I guess we will just see how it goes!
She also brought me four packs of newborn diapers and some wipes.. We are ALMOST starting to get prepared for baby. My shower is a week from tomorrow.. I am trying to find places to put all the stuff for her. I cleared out a drawer in the bathroom for her towels/baby wash stuff.. She has lots of room in her drawers/closet for clothes and blankies.. The rest of the house however.. Not so ready.. I have no where to keep bottles/baby food..And where on EARTH are you supposed to store a baby bathtub? I guess it can live in her closet, but that seems awkward.. And Jeff's still has some stuff that needs homes.. He has a giant box of hats... and a bunch of shoes. I'm thinking of some sort of over-the-door thing for some of the hats.. shoes? who knows? And the chest of drawers that was in Eve's room that held Jeff's undies and PJs still does not have a home. It may live in the hallway.. but it awkward there, i think and sort of blocks the door to Eve's room, especially to bring in bigger things..
We have to go pick up our Glider still.. HOPEFULLY on Tuesday.. As long as the Jeep is running that day (this jeep is a nightmare, we should have kept the Jetta).. I also have a 2nd electrician coming on Tuesday to give us an estimate for installing the light and stuff in Eve's room.
I am gonna take some belly pics today.. I have been slacking so bad on it.. Jeff and I never see each other, so I'll just take my own today.

You are starting to get really big (in a good way!)The cradle is adorable.
We store our dd's bathtub in our bathtub. After I bathe her (ours fits over the kitchen sink) I rinse it out in our shower and let it dry in there. We have 2 bathrooms, so it makes it a little easier since our guest shower is used only a couple times a week. When it is in use, we just put it in the hallway.
Don't stress about finding space, baby stuff will just start taking over and you'll find yourself putting away stuff you don't really need out!
As for the bottles and stuff, I just cleared out the bottom rack of our cup cupboard and stored them in there. I had to give a few mugs to my mom, but we didn't really need them all anyway.
Good Luck!
