Busy Few Days

We've had a busy few days getting more and more things sorted out ready for New Child's arrival :-) The walls of the nursery are now finished, so I can stencil the border later on when Little Prince is in bed. The bedroom door has been waxed, and looks lovely. Tomorrow Mr Messy will get the woodwork painted and once that's dry we can assemble the furniture :-) I can't wait :-)
Me and Mr Messy went shopping today mainly to get the car seat tested in our car. Of course the one that fits on my buggy DOESN'T fit in my car!! I was getting quite worried when we had tried four different seats and not one fitted in my car!!! But then we finally found one that fits - its a lovely purple colour, which looks nice with my navy blue car and will also go beautifully with all the pink outfits I've been buying New Child lol. We also got the rest of the bedding we needed - mattress, fitted sheets, blankets etc. And somehow we ended up with this bib - I'm not sure how it got in the shopping trolley and Mr Messy can't remember either lol.

Awww :) It all looks so lovely! I feel bad that I'm not there to help out with the preparations though! And I can't imagine how that bib got into your trolley... :P

I did try ringing today by the way, turns out you were out, at my favourite restaurant, without me!! :O

Have you sorted that stuff out for me yet...?

Love love love!
