Starting to prepare

Well since the time for baby #3 is fast approaching, I decided that it was time to start actually preparing. We started that first with a purchase of a bigger vehicle. We bought a Chevy Suburban- it's a "three-seater" as Silas says!! I really like it!! Especially the heated seats!!

I also went through all the totes of baby items that we own, got all the boy stuff together and wrote down the sizes and items that I did have. I just wish we would have held off getting rid of stuff until next summer- I would be better prepared if we had. Oh well! But now I know what to keep my eye out for and tell those people who ask what we need.

I have also been looking on ebay for various wanted items. I have found many cute things and put many items in shopping carts online- I hardly ever buy what I put in them. But maybe this time will be different, since some things are just too cute to pass up. I just recently purchased a crib bedding set off ebay and a new carseat and swing as well. We were just planning to borrow a carseat from a friend, but I couldn't pass up that good deal I got.

So now I am feeling a little more prepared. I am looking forward to a trip to Anchorage in mid-February to get some necessities!! Then sometime in March, we will turn the 'classroom' back into a nursery. I think it will really hit me when everything is set-up and just waiting his arrival.

I still can't believe that we will have 3 children! The kiddos are excited! Brookie was way pumped when we picked up the swing and carseat- she shows it to everyone that comes over. Silas is excited but does not like when you tell him that we might not name him Luke. He says "No, that is his name- Luke"! He is very determined and it is starting to grow on Sam and I. But we will see what it actually ends up being.

So anyways, that is my update for now. I have some random picts of the kiddos that I should post, so we will see how motivated I get in the next few days to do that. But check back in a week or so since Brookie's bday is on Sunday and I am sure I will post then!
