We have a nursery!

This weekend, my parents came over with their van, which served as a dual delivery service. They brought our cradle with them from Frankenmuth. They also brought my grandma's rocking chair, which my grandma so graciously let us borrow. This is the same rocking chair that she used to rock my mom in as a baby, so it's very special to be using it to rock our baby.

Jason and my dad also picked up our our crib and dresser/changing table for the nursery. My dad was such a big help! He made 2 trips to the furniture store for us b/c both pieces of furniture would not fit into the van at the same time. We really appreciated all of their help. We absolutely love the furniture, except that there's a defect with the front side of the crib, so it's going to be replaced next week. I think with the furniture in place, we pretty much have all of the big things taken care of for the baby's arrival. Now, all we need is a baby, which will be here before we know it!

My parents ended up leaving on Saturday afternoon due to the weather forecast. It was a good thing they did. The weather was absolutely terrible on Sunday - very windy, lake effect snow, zero visibility, and -25 degree wind chills. Jason and I braved it out to our church's early service, but they ended up cancelling Sunday school and 2nd service, along with nearly every other church in the area. Needless to say, we stayed in the rest of the day. We are definitely ready for spring!
