What a day! As part of my in-laws' visit this week, today they helped us to re-arrange some of the furniture in our house in preparation for our baby. We decided to move our paperback book shelves into a coat closet, in order to free up space in the living room (and keep the books from prying little hands). We expected the bookshelves to fit in the closet a bit tightly, but without a problem.
There was a sea of books on our living room floor once the paperbacks were unloaded from the shelves. Jon (my father-in-law) and I worked on making supports for the bookshelves since we needed to lift them over some heating pipes in the closet. We got two out of three done today, and tested them out. It's really tight in that closet with those bookshelves in there!
The time went by quickly, but at the end of the day it certainly felt like a lot of effort was involved in something that sounds as simple as "moving the bookshelves." I'm wondering whether or not I'll have time to even breathe once the baby is actually here...
