I'm not sure what we really have left to do. Install the car seat? Yesterday DH did the crib in the boys room, and I set up the packnplay in our room. The diapers are prepped. We do need to get my daughter a dresser and switcheroo her clothes with the baby's. We need to buy a double stroller. (3 kids, 3 and under, too much work.. LOL)

I am ready for September to come. He's been laying such hard kicks and it hurts
