Baby.... Stuff for lack of a better word

So everything seems to be going well still in baby land. Almost 34 weeks, we're finally feeling like we're closing in on everything. We have the big stuff, but not a lot of little things yet, although we've only had one baby shower out of the 5 that are planned... I'm sure the next few weeks will prove to be way more overwhelming than I could imagine, but great at the same time.

We have a crib and mattress thanks to my mom and step dad, they're still in the box however. Since they are staying at our house for a couple weeks the full size bed is still set up in the nursery... we'll wait until after they leave to take it down and build the crib. We also have a dresser/changing table that we found a while ago on such a good deal we had to buy it. We have a glider and some shelving. Also our friend Kevin was great enough to refinish a family hope chest that we plan on using for more toys etc in her room. We already received our pack and play, which I know will be a life saver with all our stairs in our house, thanks Holly & Sue! My aunt Kathleen also made us a great quilt. It was fun picking out all the fabric and then seeing how she pieced it all together.

Today we met with our pediatrician, we took Jason and Julie's recommendation and met Ella's doctor, who of course is great, and randomly my aunt happens to work the front desk at the clinic. We were sold. We have a child birth class coming up soon, and a tour of the hospital... everything is coming up. For the next week or so while my parents are here we will just enjoy time with family, enjoy another baby shower, and try to relax while things are slow at work.

Here are some pictures of what we've pieced together, even though it's not actually put together or maybe even in the room yet.
