The Fruit of my Labor

Pic of my newly organized laundry room closet:
Neatly contains all of my sewing gear, fabric, and craft/giftwrap stuff (the serger's in there, just not visible). It also holds my absurdly large collection of purses and a basket of all our hats, gloves, & scarves. I have a box with a hammer, screw driver, and container of misc. nails and picture-hanging hardware (so I don't have to walk out to DH's toolbox in the garage)...tape, glue, scissors. Everything I need.
Pics of the baby's room:
Do you think we have enough baby seats? :) Well, we have 2 infant car seats. One of them is a little on the old side.....The other is nicer and slightly newer and we'll probably use it for a while before we transfer the babe to a Britax Marathon (hopefully). Then, there's a portable baby swing, a bouncy seat, and an infant seat that rocks and turns into a toddler chair. I wonder if we'll actually use all these chairs?? Who knows if the crib will even get much use....not sure how long baby will sleep with us. Oh well. We didn't spend any money on any of this stuff....all hand-me-downs....so it's nice to have all of it just in case we need it.
I take that back, we did buy the Arm's Reach Co-Sleeper, but it was only $79. Yeehaw.

Nesting, are we? The closet looks great. I could never post my craft closet(s). Wanna come over and help me out? :)
The baby seats will come in handy. Even with AP you still have to set the baby somewhere safe to perform such selfish acts as peeing or cooking dinner.
Wow, that looks great! The closet and the room.
Get rid of cat pee seat, you know you aren't going to use it. It is just a space gobbler at this point.
I love Wendy's comment. I also used the seats when I was in the shower. I have a glass shower door, so I'd put the little ones right outside the door in the little bouncy seats and they'd scream until the lull of the shower put them to sleep. Then I'd have a nice shower ALONE, and sometimes even have time to brush my teeth or comb my hair before they woke up needing my body parts again! Actually, Katie was happier IN the bouncy seat with the vibrating-action thingie going between feeds than Topher ever was...he was my sling baby.
Have to share: DH loved the picture of all your seats lined up. Too funny!
Oh, and we do not have even one closet in our entire house as big as that closet. I should take pictures of my closets and share them so all of my loyal readers can feel blessed...lol
I don't remember reading if you and hubby are on the same page when it comes to circumcision. Are you delaying vax's as well or completely staying away? I responded to your questions for me in a new blog this a.m.
