Things that need to be done in order to be sufficiently ready for Sofia's arrival:
- Refinish changing table shelves with fabric - 1/2 way there!
- Take "storage" stuff (boxes, spare twin bed parts) out of her room to the basement.
- Pick out fabric or curtain & make/hang in closet doorway (also 1/2 way there... I got the tension rod... lol)
- Get crib parts from Jason's parents' house.
- Acquire (or sew) crib bedding.
- Finishing touches in her room - lamp/nightlight, decor, etc.
- I'd like to get a double stroller or at least a baby sling to carry her around in for a while.
- One big baby-shopping day: diaper ointment, diapers, bottles, newborn clothes (most of Tiegan's 0-3m outfits had formula stains on them from severe acid reflux and I got rid of them).
- Even though we have a pack-n-play, I'd like a rocking cradle/bassinet that I can put next to our bed for a while until the night-wakings subside. Just a luxury though.
- We would also like to find a swing/bouncer/papasan - easily acquired at the Mom2Mom Sale I'm going to on May 2 (don't forget ladies!) or off Craigslist.
- Baby-proof the rest of the house.

Hey I have a Papasan for you! It's almost brand new. Ian used it for like two weeks. And I have a swing that Joss used. It's blue and has some stains on the seat that wouldn't come out when I first got it at a garage sale. But I just "slipcovered" it with a cute fuzzy pink blanky for her. You could slipcover it with the same fabric you use for her bedding...or something that coordinates.
