J&M got Maui'd!

We have unpacked virtually all of the boxes in our apartment, although we still have a score of boxes left at my parents' place to bring over. Still, this is quite the achievement considering how little time we actually have for unpacking and organizing. (Usually we have time for one or the other.) The big ticket items are finally assembled and more-or-less positioned. Once we get the mattress, we can finally start setting up the nursery. Three months after the fact. Good timing too. Elsy has reached the limit of the bassinet and we need to find her a more permanent sleeping location stat. Anyway, once the nursery is set up, we can move those boxes to storage, and that will clear up quite a bit of room to allow us to move our other boxes to take the place of these boxes so that we have the space to bring back the remaining boxes from my parents' place to take the place of those boxes. Time to start flattening boxes methinks.

I had an appointment to bring in my car this morning and Maggie wanted some time to clean up the apartment. So I took Elsy in my car to my parents' place. This is my car. I drive this baby like crazy. As such, I needed to install the car seat in my car. since my car actually had two sets of latching points, it was surprisingly easy to put in the base, after I figured out which hole to use that is. This is my baby. She can drive me crazy. The carrier was a little more annoying to put in. With only two doors, I had to push the passenger seat all the way up to squeeze the carrier in and had to lean in a bit to get the carrier in the base. I am sure that it would only get even more annoying as Elsy gets bigger and heavier. This is my baby in my car. Ain't that crazy? Still, it was possible so I can cart Elsy around in a pinch. I just don't think I would like to do so that often. Baby looks so small in this picture.

We started living in the condo this weekend even though we moved our big ticket items last weekend. We had planned to move most of the rest of the stuff at my parents' place over the week but my mom got sick and so we are still missing most of the contents of the kitchen among other things. This is what our cupboards looked like. As such, my breakfast today was a little improvised. I had to find some way to eat my cereal and milk. Hopefully we will be able to get the rest of our stuff this week. Otherwise we'll be taking more advantage of the delivery options downtown.
