Getting ready for baby :)

Here are a couple things we've done lately to get ready for Baby #3... due on March 21st :)

We took Brielle & John to a Sibling Class at the hospital.  Kathy, the nurse who put it on, did an excellent job and the kids had fun getting a tour of the rooms, seeing a newborn in the nursery, holding a baby doll, talking about what toys are safe vs. not safe for a new baby, sharing ideas on how to be good big brothers & sisters, and eating cookies at the end of the night.

We have also done some rearranging with the bedrooms.  John & Brielle each had their own room on the main floor next to our bedroom, and they were each in queen or full beds.   So we decided to purchase a set of twin beds (that can be bunked in the future if needed).  They moved into Brielle's room, the larger of the two rooms.  I found some cute bedding at Target, and they were both very excited about new beds & new bedding.  People asked if Brielle & John have been chatty at bedtime now that they are sharing.  They weren't for the first week, but after that there have been a few nights with a lot of chatter!  It's fun to listen to their conversations :)

        

Another funny story regarding sharing rooms... one night- in the kitchen- Brielle & John were having a disagreement over something, and John said sternly "Brielle, you CAN'T come into my room anymore."

Brielle answered, "John, we are in the same room."

John said, "No, we are NOT."

Brielle said, "Yes, we are, John."

And then the disagreement was over :)
