What does a tiny turtle eat for lunch?
That’s what I would like to know.
Yesterday, D and I were organizing the baby stuff that had been dumped on our house and among the items was this hooded towel. On the hood part of the towel it said, “What does a tiny turtle eat for lunch?” And nowhere does it give the answer!
Yes, we are now overrun with the items from 3 baby showers and the hand-me-downs and we are desperately trying to find the order in the chaos.
Baby showers are amazing. People love to give you things when you are expecting your first baby. It makes me feel so blessed to have all these people around us wanting to help us get together all the things we think we need to raise a child.
And sometimes they give us stuff that we don’t need to raise a child. Which is why there is a little invention called the “returns desk.” (Ask D how many stuffed bears we really need to raise a child.)
I am happy to report that we are pretty much done with the baby’s room. This weekend brought the inlaws with the crib (which D put together in about 20 minutes, only having to correct one mistake) and other items from the Montgomery shower and hand-me-downs from the SIL. We purchased a glider at Wal-Mart (thanks to a gift card and a few returns) and that is now my favorite place to sit in the house. We still need some items like crib sheets and covers for the lighting, but over all I have a sense of peace about our preparedness.
Now, if I could only bring myself to pack for the hospital.
