Nesting Habits

The past couple weeks Heather has been really excited about getting our house/lives ready for the baby.  She keeps reminding me that she is getting into her third trimester and if the baby comes early we need to be ready.  Thankfully we have gotten some help from friends and family with toys, clothes, and blankets.  (A special shoutout to Heather's older sister Sandy who gave us a stroller, carseat, and a bunch of other stuff.)  We have been working on cleaning up our second bedroom so it can function as a bedroom instead of a storage room.  We repurposed our tiny entertainment center as a toy box and bought a cheap dresser form a local thrift store (hooray PTA!) to store his clothes and blankets.

All of this work catalyzed Heather's first impulse buy for our son.  She was walking through the store yesterday and found what she called "the most adorable piggy bank."  She had to have it.  Mommy hormones raging she didn't think twice about putting it in the cart.  Granted it is a pretty awesome piggy bank.
Toothless, the guardian of our son's financial future!
(For you uncultured types out there Toothless is the main dragon from the animated movie
"How to Train Your Dragon.")
Seriously, what better piggy bank than a dragon?  Dragon's love treasure.  Who has ever heard of a pig being big on money or treasure?  Dragon's love to sleep inside beds of gold coins.  Pigs though?
