Finally a crib!!!

Today was good. We all slept in late, well John woke up but watched tv quietly while Corey rested on the couch. The days are always much better when we all sleep good. We went to Thanksgiving Point, of course our official Saturday destination. We've got to make good use of those season passes we bought. We ended up seeing one of the movies there at the IMAX which we've never done before. We had a few minutes before it started so we made a quick run of the museum first, and I do mean quick, we pretty much just walked through it really fast.

We saw the African Safari in 3D, it was only about 45 minutes long which is perfect for the kids. It was pretty neat, I really wanted to see the 3D shark movie but it wasn't playing at the time so I hope to see that one next time. We ate lunch at the Deli there which was yummy as always. It was 4pm by the time we finished lunch so we left without going to play in the water at the gardens.

We went to Babies R Us to look at cribs, we had hoped to put one in layaway but they don't have that there. How dumb is that? No layaway at Babies R Us, that's one place that definitely needs it with how expensive baby stuff is and how much stuff kids need. Anyway we ended up just buying one which I wasn't planning on. I hate spending big chunks of money but Corey convinced me. I've really been wanting to get John a crib as his little pack-n-play is pretty junky. So I love the new crib, the box didn't fit into the van through the side so we came home and took the bench out and Corey went back and got it. I got it all together and I love it, John really seems to enjoy it too. He layed in it and kicked his little feet like crazy.

I still need another crib mattress though, I can't afford one right now because we spent all the money on the crib. I stole Isabella's mattress off her toddler bed for John's crib. Still haven't decided where I'm going to have her sleep tonight, right now she's asleep on the living room floor next to me. Hopefully I can find a cheaper mattress at Wal-Mart, I'm not spending $100 on a baby mattress.

When we put the bench back in the van I adjusted it and it's much better now. We had the middle row taken out before and the kids were in the back which gave us tons of space but getting them in was a chore. I found a position in the middle that I didn't know was there (the rug was hiding it) so now they're in the middle but back farther. So now we can get them in super easy and Isabella can't kick the seat (now I know why my parents yelled at us so much for kicking the seat, it's awful.)

I'm feeling pretty sad tonight, just found out one of the babies from our online preemie board passed away this morning. She fought for 8 and a half months in the NICU and was finally doing so much better. My heart just breaks for her mother, they were finally so close to getting to bring her home and she went downhill so fast. Makes me thankful for every minute I have with my babies.

Oh and I finally got Isabella's and John's pictures updated on the website, but after two hours of trying to update the family pictures I officially give up. Stupid internet is just NOT cooperating with me tonight so I'll do it later.

Isabella upset about going through the carwash, and this time John got scared too. When one of them is scared and cries the other always freaks out too, it's so cute.

The new crib, Isabella wasn't happy about being put in there.
