Okay... AFTER the armoire is taken out of the bedroom,

THEN we can move our furniture around to make room for the baby crib. 

THEN we can acutally pick up the crib from our dear friends and put it in our room.  The crib has drawers, so

THEN we can get Alex's old clothes out of the attic and decide what we're keeping for this baby and fill up the crib drawers. 

THEN we can decide what we still need to get. 

THEN I can pack a layette and my "to the hospital" bag.

THEN I can take a break from all this nesting!
