Patrick and I have so much to do today, we committed ourselves to two different parties by accident. Well, I didn't formally commit us to one of them, but it was the one I was aware of and had planned on us going for at least a few hours before learning that Patrick's friend's were having an engagement party today. Or rather, I'd known about it but he got the Facebook invite so I had no idea what day it was and assumed it was another week 'til about three days ago... And the engagement party is about an hour away. Luckily, since one starts earlier in the afternoon we figured we'd just leave the one early and arrive at the other one a bit late. I hope I can get a nap in this afternoon and that it'll keep me going 'til late because the first party doesn't even start 'til about 4:30-5pm.

I loaded the dishwasher today, I'm super proud mostly because of how disgusting I feel our apartment is right now. I had a friend over and we did one another's hair last night... I was so embarrassed. Of course, I feel like I can't do much of anything 'til I get that room to put the baby crib and glider in... but soon I'll have it.

Patrick's mom is recovering the cushions for the glider for us, I'm really excited about that. She also found and bought us a dresser for Wiley's room. It's plain white and she said it could be refinished (if we wanted to) pretty easily. I look forward to having my dresser back that I cleared out for him! I'm thinking I might see about painting the top of the dresser gray to match the gray on the fabric we got for the glider. Part of me wishes we would have had enough fabric to make some matching curtains (maybe we will, we asked for a bit extra just because it was about another foot... then the guy cutting the fabric realized the fabric wasn't much longer than what we asked for so he just gave us a discount for the rest so it would come out to about the same price, apparently. I wasn't too worried 'cause I figure extra fabric is nice to have... plus, if we have enough we could make a little pillow or something.

The crib we were given I have no idea how we're going to get it in the nursery (it's as wide as the door). It's already put-together and I'm not opposed to taking it apart but of course I'm not the one who'd have to do it even though I'm the one with the time. I'm debating getting a new mattress, even though she gave us her old one. I need to double check it and make sure it's in good condition and firm enough but even then, the mattress is about 5 years old (I think) and while it looks like it's in good condition, I'm just a paranoid mommy. I decided to google if I should just buy a new mattress or if taking somebody's used mattress was alright and one of the things I found pointed out how many things have probably gotten spilled on it and germs... so now I'm mildly paranoid (I'm not a germaphobe, but the crib is a place he'll be spending a lot of time in and I want it to be firm and clean... or at least start out clean)... but I'll just see what Patrick thinks, haha. My mom wanted us to use the pillow from when I was a baby (that I think they used for my brother) and I was like "This has had two babies on it then sat in a garage for how long?  They don't recommend pillows anymore, anyway... I'm getting a mattress pad."

Anyway, we'll see starting next week once I start working on getting my house spotless and getting the nursery started!
