Rearranging the House

Today, we put the Christmas Tree up and Christmas decorations. It is funny because when we bought all of our decorations, we weren't quite sure how many kids we'd have so we didn't know how many stockings we should get. We wanted them all to match the tree skirt and stockings we had picked out. I remember us sitting there saying, should we get one for you, me, and Tia. OR should we get 4 in case we have 2 kids. What if we had 3 kids? When we got the stockings out today, we weren't sure how many we bought. I looked and the stocking holders were NOEL, so I knew we had at least 4 of them which is perfect for this year, since we have 4 of us now. Then I looked deeper into the tote and saw the fifth stocking and laughed. Chris said, oh yeah, I remember - we can always get new stocking holders, but it will be hard to get the same stocking later. So we were definitely thinking about 3 kids...guess we'll see if that happens. We also moved the crib into our room. It is a tight squeeze, but we are trying to think of the best scenario for our 3 bedroom house. Tia has her own big girl bed now and so her room is her own with a play area. The office is still needed to be our all purpose room with all of our bookshelves, Tia's bedroom furniture, our office computer/printer, the rocking chair, and somehow the extra full bed for our guests. My mom is moving to Thailand permanently, but before she does, she'll help me get through the end of the pregnancy so she'll stay with us for a few weeks during that time. Then my little sister will need a place to crash when she is home from school so that room will need to be available for that purpose too. We would love to have it as Baby Norris #2's bedroom and will, but we'll wait until after the summer. Baby will be still young that we want to keep a close eye on her since we have curious Tia roaming the house. So this will be our solution for the time being until our new baby gets past those first months. Tia was in her own room from day 1, so we hope we don't spoil baby #2 by having her in our room when she starts out. Guess we'll see.
