Preparing for baby Gabe!!

Over the past few months we've been busy getting our house ready for baby #2. We live at my parents right now with my mom, sister Lauren, brother James, sister Ciara, Ciara's hubby Brett, and their baby (a.k.a my nephew) Oliver. There are 4 dogs, one of which is mine, one that is Brett and Ciara's, and two that are my moms. We also have a very adorable cat and a dead frog that my sister keeps forgetting to give a proper burial.

Anyway, I'm just trying to give you an idea of how comfy and cozy our house is, as it is booked to capacity. My parents are wonderful for letting us all live here while we save a little dough to buy our next house. Seriously mom, I know I say it all the time, but I don't know what we'd do without you. You are my personal guardian angel!

Ok, so back to the point. Chris and I are very fortunate to have pretty much the whole basement to ourselves but we still only have one room to fit me, Chris, Cairi, and Gabe in so we've had to get creative in the placing of our furniture. We have a king bed, 3 dressers, a crib, and a toddler bed. At first I had no idea how we would make it all fit but we did! I must say it looks pretty nice and I love having my babies in the room with us. Here are some pics of our cute little space. I can't wait til the kids have their own rooms and I can go crazy with decorations but for now I think all of our stuff blends quite well.

Cairi and Ollie playing on her bed.
Haha! The big girl eating donuts with grandma.

This is Cai pretending to be one of the dogs and carry things in her mouth.
We also bought Cairi a big girl car seat in preparation for Gabe so he can use the infant one. If you can't tell, she loves it!

Cai's new bed. It's in our walk in closet but it fits perfectly and feels like she's in a little fort.
Gabe's new bedset!
Mommy and Daddy's bed... who are we kidding, Cai is the queen of this bed lol.
Cairi helping Chris put her bed together. She LOVES being a helper!
