Baby preparations and new calling for dh

Yesterday I finally broke down and started buying some stuff for the baby's room. I've been looking for the kind of crib I like and hoping to find one that didn't cost too much money especially since we've had some unexpected medical bills come up in the midst of the adoption stuff. Anyway...I stumbled upon a really great deal and I'm really happy with it. I'm sure it isn't quite as nice as some of the more expensive ones I have been looking at, but seriously I couldn't bring myself to spend nearly $500 on a crib even if it would last until the child was older since it was convertible. So, I got the look I wanted without all the cost. I even put it together all on my own! It was actually pretty easy. Here is a picture. I really like it! Now to find a dresser! :) Oh, I also finally bought a carseat and stroller. So, we pretty much have the big stuff taken care of now for the baby.


The funny thing is that Jason also paid a big bill from a test he had at the hospital and between that and the two things we got a phone call from the fraud protection people from our bank making sure that our cards hadn't been stolen since the amount spent in one day was much larger than our normal spending. I guess it makes me feel good that they keep track of those things, but boy did it make me nervous when they called since I'm always hearing things about how scammers make calls like that. I'm sure it wasn't a scam though since it wasn't long after the transactions had been made that we got the call so if it was a scam they have quick access to our spending. Anyway...kinda funny.

Jason is getting a new calling today. I'm chancing writing about it here before our church is in since I don't think anyone around here actually looks at this blog. :) I've been having fun giving him a hard time about it. He was called in by the Stake president a couple weeks ago and asked to be on the High Counsel. I think he's getting tired of my old jokes and my boring jokes. I just hope he doesn't let it make him too boring. :) I will miss going to Elder's quorum socials with all my friends though...I guess I'll get to know more of the older people in our ward/stake now. LOL

So, today he'll be ordained and set apart. It will be a fun adventure for us in combination with having a baby around again. Kinda like when they called him into a singles bishopric when the twins were 4 months old. Hopefully it won't be that difficult having only one baby when I have to go to church without him sometimes. But it will be a challenge to figure out what to do with the kids while we are both supposed to be at meetings on Wednesday night. I know it will work out somehow, I just hope it doesn't work out by me being released! I LOVE my calling and REALLY don't want to be released. So, hopefully my next post will have more pictures and more fun stuff to report on from our visit with family!
