stuff done before July 1st.\u00c2\u00a0 The kids are done school at the end of June, and I really don&#8217;t want them involved in all the painting and set up of the baby&#8217;s room.\u00c2\u00a0 The little finishing things, sure &#8211; no problem, but not the painting and puttying and sanding and crib set up and other stuff.<\/p>\n<p>That means, that not only do we have to do the walls in the baby&#8217;s room, but we also have to get a crib and a change table and a dresser.\u00c2\u00a0 We are hoping ot be able to get stuff that matches.\u00c2\u00a0 Knowing that this might be our last baby, and that it&#8217;s kind of a special event, we just want to do it extra special.\u00c2\u00a0 I might have found the bedding that I want.\u00c2\u00a0 <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.toysrus.ca\/webapp\/wcs\/stores\/servlet\/ProductDisplay?storeId=10051&amp;catalogId=10051&amp;langId=-1&amp;productId=60465&amp;N=27\" title=\"Crib Bedding\">I like this pattern<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I&#8217;m just struggling over the price.\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;s a much better price than what I saw it for in the store today, but still&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;GULP!<\/p>\n<p>Oh well!\u00c2\u00a0 It&#8217;ll all come together eventually, and I don&#8217;t need to worry!\u00c2\u00a0 I know that!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m off to bed now, but I just wanted to say one more thing.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>To all the Mother&#8217;s with living children, and especially those who have\u00c2\u00a0children that are not living&#8230;..I hope you have a peaceful day tomorrow and that it would be filled with hope and love and very special thoughts and memories.<\/p>\n<p>And to everyone else, may you be thankful that you had a mother who brought you into this world, and that you are alive and well, regardless of\u00c2\u00a0your life&#8217;s\u00c2\u00a0circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>May tomorrow be a special day for you all!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We really didn&#8217;t have anything planned for today, and just needed to pick a few things up here and there.
