Building the Nest

My sweetie and I took the girls to IKEA on Saturday. I had never been to the one here locally. The one and only time I have been to an IKEA was in Germany and that was over 10 years ago! We had a lot of fun looking at all the neat furniture and storage ideas. We are still thinking about how to arrange the bedroom to accommodate our two little girls, the new baby, and still have room in case another blessing is sent our way. Not an easy task for a room that is only 10x12! We've considered giving the kids the master bedroom, but I kinda like being able to walk around our king-sized bed. :)

While at IKEA, I ran into my very good friend who is also expecting. She's due the day after I am. I still can't get over that. God is so good, and has such a sense of humor. :) I also saw another lady that I know from another blog. She is expecting her second child in a few weeks. In fact, I think every woman at IKEA was pregnant and in the throes of a nesting urge. IKEA is like Mecca for pregnant women! It was good to see so many children about to join our human family, especially in an area known for Progressivism and pet-worship. Made my heart proud.
