Laura Waller

My name is Laura Waller and I attended Appalachian State University. After college I moved to Washington DC where I taught Kindergarten. The best part of my time in DC was meeting my wonderful husband Jacob. After enjoying all the excitement of DC, we moved back to Eastern North Carolina, where I continued teaching. After trying for a while to get pregnant and meeting with infertility doctors, we welcomed our first child, Elliana, into the world. Elliana means “my God has answered” and she certainly is our answered prayer. We decided that I would stay home to be with Elli full time. When Elli turned one year old, I decided to cheat a little on the “stay at home” gig and take a part time job working with refugee families in the school systems. That job will end in the Spring of 2012 and, as timing would have it, our second baby is due in May. At this point in time, my days are consumed with keeping up with Elli (which is harder than it sounds), working, trying to find exciting activities around Eastern NC for our family to experience, an occasional work out, and honestly - an occasional nap. I know things are certainly going to change in our house and in some ways that makes me a bit nervous so I am always excited to get advice from experienced moms!

Sleeping Arrangements for New Baby….

My husband bought a little starter toddler bed for our son. He has actually transitioned very well to his toddler bed. The first night he kept rolling out of bed and running into the living room. He couldn’t believe that he had the power to leave his bed let alone his room. After a couple more nights of him doing that he finally realized what “night night” means and to crawl into his own bed and lay down. Sigh! All of our hard work keeping him from sleeping in mommy and daddy’s bed has paid off!

My husband and I decided to put my son’s old crib in our bedroom at the foot of our bed. I thought it was going to be huge and wouldn’t fit, but surprisingly it fit perfectly. Our bedroom isn’t the most spacious now that it is in there, but I am making great use of storage space in the closets and under the bed.

I can’t stand clutter and random debris. I believe everything has its own place in a house. I have decided to buy a small organizer for the baby. I found it for $21 in Walmart. My biggest issue now is organizing baby clothes and keeping them separate from my son’s clothes.

What are some ways that you keep everything organized with little ones in the house?
