Busy Month - And Already Into Week 33

I can't believe that it is just over a month away until Christmas. Where has this year gone? And our little 'belly bean' is expected in under 7 weeks. Wow! That was fast!
We have been so busy this month! It started with the Fireman's Raffle Dance. Our first of many as Scott is now on the Fire Department. The department (including all the wives) put in a lot of time and energy to get this fundraiser organized and executed. It is a lot of fun and lots of hours but well worth it!

This is Scott & I on our way to the Raffle Dance.


We have also been taking our prenatal classes this month before the arrival of the little bambino. It has been a very interesting set of lessons of what we are to expect during the delivery and after arrival care. The hospital tour was very informative. We are keeping our fingers crossed the 'luxury' room is available to us when we deliver.

Scott is still working on little house renos and upgrades before the babe is here. And we have finally completed the new guest room downstairs. Or at least ready enough for our first guests, Joy & Scott. They gave it the stamp of approval on the Remembrance long weekend during their stay at Chez Schaffrick.

The nursery is also more complete after their visit due to the Ikea wish list that was filled from our family on the coast. I especially love the green striped crocodile for the crib to add to the green and blue water decor.
This is our nursery bedding ordered online that I just had to have for our very own. It is called 'Splash' by MiGi. The little fish and bubble pattern are just too cute.
I can hardly imagine that our baby will soon be here and sleeping in the beautiful nursery just across the hall. So soon....

So is there anything else you'd like from Ikea (or anything else for the baby for that matter)? Paul and I will be out your way in January and I still have no clue as to what to get you and the new Schaffrick. I LOVE Ikea so it wouldn't be a great chore for me to spend the afternoon there buying all sorts of stuff.

That is adorable bedding. Congrats to Scott on the fire department too - I've heard it's a long road to get there, so good for him!
