Baby's got bed and bedding!

I haven't updated on baby's room much recently because Mr. Rhody is still working on painting it. "In progress" painting pictures are not all that exciting, especially when they all look about the same. Plus, we are out for the next few weekends, so I'm not sure when he will be able to finish. Baby Rhody is starting to get more and more things though, and I'm starting to get anxious to put them away!

This weekend, I did get to go to Babies R Us with my mother. She had found my 17-year-old sister's high chair in the back of the garage, so we took it to the Babies R Us trade-in sale and got our playard! You'll notice that it matches our travel system.

Babies R Us was also having 20% off of bedding sets, and my mother insisted on buying that as well. I love love love it so much that I want to sleep with the quilt myself. It's got all sorts of fuzzy textures, including different widths of corduroy on it. I was debating before this weekend if we needed a bedding SET, but I am so glad we decided to get it. Have I mentioned that I love it? You should also note that Mrs. EmmaLouise already got us the mobile. Now I just need the lamp (SO CUTE) to complete the set.

Knowing that Mr. Rhody's mother tends to be ... eclectic ... in her gift giving and knowing that we probably won't be having any sort of shower, I then went to our list to prioritize what we really need to get before Baby Rhody gets here. Here's my list:

• More clothes
• More diapers (we're doing cloth; I have 4)
• Baby wipes (cloth again; I might make these)
• Baby monitor
• Curtains for nursery
• 2-3 fitted sheets
• 2 mattress pads
• Milk storage bags
• Bottles
• Diaper bag
• Playpen sheets
• Diaper pails (2, one for home, one for daycare)
• Diaper pail liners (2)

I'd also like to get a rug for Baby Rhody's room and for a few of the other rooms upstairs to make it a little quieter up there, as everything is hardwood and sometimes it just seems SO LOUD. Oh, and we are looking at getting a new camera because we're about due, so if you have any suggestions, let me know!
