A lot has happened within the few week in regards to our living situation. Both Michelle and I understood that our 1 bedroom apartment just didn't offer the size that we needed for our growing family. So, the hunt began for a new domicile that has the space for our incoming +1. We found a beautiful newly constructed 2 bed/2.5 bath condo that was in our price range and we snatched it up.
I figured it would be easier to do a multi-day move-in. While it would be more tiring on me, I figured it would be easier on Michelle and James. Day 1 consisted mostly of small and loose items. Things that Michelle could help move, and organize immediately. Day 2 was heavy lifting day. I had enlisted the assistance of my friends (thanks Alex, Jose, Graeme, and Eric!) and we had all of the furniture moved. Now we're pretty much settled in and I've begun some work on the nursery.
I had my old 32" TV just sitting around, so I figured I might as well wall mount it in the nursery as I figured much of our time will be spent in there after James is born. We still need to get a dresser, and we're getting a Pack and Play from a friend of ours. Also much of my family are donating "used" baby items to us. When I say used, I mean we didn't buy it new, but much of it was never used. So, we have a bunch of baby clothes, a like-new infant car seat, and some other little knickknacks. We also got advise from family members as for items that we shouldn't waste our money on as well. So, as far as laying down a good living foundation, I think I'm on the right track, however I didn't expect this track to come with this much lower back pain.
