Preparing for Baby

By -
Nick and I live in a one bedroom apartment it is a very nice size at 960 square feet, but I felt that we needed to "Maximize Space" (Word of the month Nick is sick of it lol). I wanted to make sure that everything had its own place and we could find it easily. I made a list of everything that we needed to accomplish and just this past week I got to cross off a ton of things. By the way I love you Nick! He worked so hard at installing shelves and then taking them down (Totally my fault) and then putting them up again, filling holes in the walls after I mark the wrong spot. (It was all my fault I'm pregnant what can I say?)Anyway you get the idea he did alot for me.


I wish I had a before picture to show the impact of the change that was made, but imagine there being only two shelves parallel to each other on opposite walls and 3/4 of the way up the wall. NOW: There are six shelves in the shape of a "U". The top shelf will be for all our baby things including clothes, toys, blankets and all other things baby.

This is our entry closet to the apartment we installed two more additional shelves to store FOOD! I wanted a food pantry to help out with storage in our kitchen and now we definitely have a ton more space in our kitchen for what ever we need for our baby boy! The same day I deep cleaned the Kitchen and reorganized every drawer and cabinet it was so fun, but I felt the pain the next day for sure.


This is the other side to the entry closet: Food and Laundry, Recycling below and dinner trays against the wall. This was so fun to do because it had such a dramatic result.

What a month not only was it Christmas and the New Year but we also celebrated my 21st birthday and our anniversary! It was an exciting month for us we have been married for one year now and still going strong. Nick totally surprised me and took me to salt lake City for my birthday, we went to dinner at P.F. Changs and attended a Play at the Hale theater. (The Christmas Carol) it was definitely a memorable birthday. For Christmas we got to go back to Washington and see the family, although the weather was horrible we made it to and from Washington safely. Nick made out like a fat rat he got an Ipod Video Classic and Guitar Hero with 2 guitars. We also got allot of food storage and emergency preparedness items from my parents, for some reason I got the impression that my mom might be afraid the world is coming to an end. Well it has been a fun break from school despite all the working, but school starts up next week and we have to get down to business again. Nick is finishing up his...

New York here we come... New years in New York what a dream come true we stayed with some great friends and they showed us the town. We walked everywhere from China Town to the Brooklyn Bridge to Times Square it was so packed and there were so many drunk people it was hilarious. We had the best Chinese food in China Town (Lemon Chicken was to die for). Later we spent the night in Queens. It was definitely a night to remember. The tolls were outrageous! We paid over 60 bucks from Baltimore to New York! $8 dollar tolls nuts! WE MADE IT!! All the bright lights! View from Brooklyn Bridge it was so cold up there! Good ole Mickey D's I love this picture just by looking at this picture you know your in Times Square so fun.
