I've moved the liquor (who knew we had so much booze?!) to a locked cabinet over the fridge... my brother-in-law says that's where his parents kept it, and he and his friends knew exactly how to get into it. But it should be a sufficient hiding place for a two-year-old.
I've installed a new egress ladder in the basement, since we blocked the one the builder put in when we built the deck. I've also updated the fire extinguishers with larger models.
I'm starting to clear out the current guest room, which will become the kid room. We've been using that closet for our rarely-worn suits, wrapping paper, and extra linens. Guess I'll have to do some more closet cleaning elsewhere in the house!
I'm really excited by the support shown by our family and friends. My sister and Alan's sister-in-law are both thrilled, and our parents (while cautious) are ready for more grandchildren.
With my luck, everything is going to happen at once this summer... we'll get a call about our kid(s), Alan will suddenly find a job, and his parents will find that their house sells before the new one is built!
We have many friends and family now ready to bring us their hand-me-downs (everything from car seats and cribs to clothing and toys), but we're resisting until we know who or what is coming to live with us!
Well, off to a bit more waiting. I think we're going to use the next few weeks to do a bit of painting. Time to add some color to more walls in the house.
