1) Ordered a crib and crib mattress. The crib is espresso colored, converts to a toddler bed, and will fit in well in our room, essential, of course, since Charlie will be in our room. My plan was to go with the cheapest mattress we could find, but Sheref apparently is of the strong belief that mattress quality matters greatly to the 1yr and under set, so I got out-voted on that one. Oh well.
2) Ordered crib sheets. Since Charlie will be an older baby when he arrives, I didn't buy anything else (bumper, etc). Just some very nice bright orange with white circular designs sheets. That probably sounds a little, well, ugly, but they are actually very cheery and cute. At least I think so.
3) Nana came and brought a TON of cute boy clothes that she and Shannon got for Charlie. Very cute stuff!
4) Nana and Ella cleared out 1/2 of Ella's giant dresser for Charlie's clothes. Now Ella's dresser is full of tiny bobble-head animals, different colored rocks, pocket pets, Shu Shu (Zhu Zhu?) pets, Silly Bandz on the left, and full of little baby boy clothes on the right.
We also went to Kim's tonight for dinner in celebration of Charlie. Even though we loved Kim's when we lived in Charleston "last time," we hadn't been back since we moved back here last year. The Stone Bowl was wonderful. Basically super hot, seared bi bim bop. Good stuff! Sadly, Kim did not get drunk on soju while we were there. Guess we'll have to go back...
