Whats been Happening at the Smedley Household

This is when we were setting up the crib for the first time, I should have got a picture of the old baby's room before we switched rooms. This room was very very cramped.
Here is the way our living room looked for a couple of days. The pictures don't do justice. It was pure chaos.Here is the new baby's room. We are still working on getting it all put together and things put away. The room really is so much better for the baby! I can hardly wait to get it all fixed up and ready to bring little Brantley home.

Our new bedroom! We both love it!
So David and I have been super busy lately here are somethings that have been going on.
Number 1
We live in a two bedroom apartment. Both of the rooms are pretty good size but one is slightly bigger than the other so of course when we moved in we put our room in the big one. The second bedroom was used as an exercise/office/storage/new baby room. Also, since last summer the apartment manager put in a window swamp cooler in that room. I have been asking, more like begging, David to switch rooms since we found out we were pregnant. Mostly because I realized that having a baby (that hopefully takes naps) would be in his room during the hottest part of the day and with that window swamp makes that room freezing cold which means we would have to shut off the cooler and the rest of the apartment would be so uncomfortably hot. The room was also so cramped that switching rooms would leave more space for the baby and David's bowflex. So switching rooms would be in the best interest of everyone including the baby. So after much begging David gave in and we undertook the task that I thought we could knock out in one day but it took a couple. Our house was a disaster! Poor David had to do most of the heavy lifting, but he was such a good sport and we are both so glad that we switched rooms. The baby's room has more space and now I am pushing to get rid of the bowflex because (for now) it fits! Now I can't wait to start decorating Brantley's room with John Deere tractors and farm things!

Number 2
Life is good, busy but good. This month is one for traveling. we have so many things going on this month that I am ALMOST going to be glad when it is over so we can just sit down and relax, but when is life ever slow. Here are some things we have this month. 2 Family dinners (one for my family and one for Davids), a baby shower (I will blog about that later), deer hunt, elk hunt, and a halloween party. That is a lot in gas, but totally worth every gallon and dollar.
