Clearly Nate's job affords me many benefits while living abroad. As if it wasn't nice enough to ship all our possesions and car to Guatemala, or having a US mailing address, or getting a sweet apartment, or any other multitude of things, we also have the benefit of a "layette shipment." We get to ship up to 250 lbs. of baby stuff and furniture down here just before baby arrives. So this summer when I was in AZ, my parents and sister all spent the morning at Babies R Us and bought everything we will need for the first year. Well, at least the stuff that we think we'll need. I'm sure we've missed a whole slew of things, but Nate and I are blissfully unaware since baby stores like that are not available here. So it was stored at the 'rents house since July and picked up a month ago, put on a plane and delivered last week! I'm so so glad I didn't have to wander around Guatemala to find something inexpensive and nice. I couldn't wait, and had to set the crib up now, mostly to see if the fitted sheet I made fit, and it did!
