Nursery Update

We are getting closer to actually creating a room for the little dude! We got two important pieces last week and I can't wait to put them into place.

1. The dresser! It looks fab-o and think it will be oh, so much better than what Pottery Barn Kids had to offer anyhow.

2. Artwork! Grandma Holly is an amazing artist and here are a few of the friends O'Baby will get to talk with over the next few years!

These are some of the characters that went with the bedding for Land of Nod, and a few we made up along the way. The names, you ask? Just thought it would add a bit of personality to them! =)

We just need to do wee bit of touch-up paint and we'll be good to go to start putting everything in place!

(Sorry for the slightly odd photos, I had the wrong lens on for the room I had!)

Update: More on the Room!

The dresser should be coming today! More photos coming soon!

In the meantime, will someone PLEASE bring me some enchiladas and tamales from La Suprema?? PLEASE?? -- thanks!

UPDATE:

Well, dresser arrived, looked it over, men left. Then I turned around. It so does not match the crib in color. Knew it would be a little different, but appears so much more orange against the crib. Now, I am depressed and not sure what to do.
1. Do we return it, and see if we can find something else somewhere else?
2. See if we can return everything and get the crib and dresser in espresso?
3. Live with it a bit and see if it works?
4. Continue to be depressed?

boo. not what I wanted.

A Room for O'Baby

This weekend we started preparing a bit more for O'Baby's arrival.

Along with getting to hear the heartbeat again this week, around 150-160s, we also made some rather important decisions!

We purchased the nursery decor!

Thanks to some very generous parents, we purchased our crib and dresser for O'Baby's room! We decided to go with a nice simple design in Sun Valley Honey. I really thought I was going to want a darker espresso color crib. But after seeing this color and realizing our room just isn't that big, I think Joe and I made a great choice.

We will use the dresser for the changing area, as well as super baby storage! Woohoo!

Crib should arrive this week or so and dresser by the end of the month! Onwards and upwards!
