De-Cluttered House, De-Cluttered Life

Yay for a completely organized shed! We finished putting up the shelves and sorting through things (finding several treasures along the way) with room to spare in both attic and shed. At first, we attempted to put the bassinet in the attic, because it would have been slightly more protected from bugs, but it didn't fit. Luckily, we now have plenty of floor space in the shed and didn't have to worry about it at all. It's a very cool bassinet and I want to save it for the next baby.

My mom came over after work and played with Joey while Dan and I sorted and stored. It's so much easier to put things away when you're not 8 months pregnant! It was great having my mom watching Joey because when we worked on this earlier in the week, it was just us and it was difficult keeping Joey happy and getting work done at the same time. We moved him between the bouncy chair, his rocking chair, his playpen, and eventually me holding him while Dan moved the heavy stuff.

I'm so happy with how much we got done! Everything we don't need is stored and we have way more space in the house now, including more space in the laundry room. The next step is figuring out which room we want the bed-crib-combo in, assemble the crib, and get the bed risers (our bed is really tall so the crib needs to be raised) and the mattress. Hopefully by the end of next week we'll be co-sleeping again!
