The Nursery is finally coming together! Over the
holiday weekend after Christmas, we finally finished tackling the
baby's room (with much help from "Nanna" and "Paw
Paw"), transforming it at last from our storage room to the
baby's room. I should have taken a picture of it while it was all
so empty, before it started filling up with baby's stuff!
Little JAM's first Christmas gifts made their way
into the room, as well as the few other baby items we had bought
- such as the clothes I couldn't resist getting (part of Carter's
Once Upon A Time line; I'll need to take pictures!), a few toys,
and some Dr. Seuss books.
On January 1, we received the Graco 3-in-1 Bassinet,
which John put together. For now it sits in the baby's room, though
it will migrate to the bedroom once the baby arrives. All of the
clothes and toys from our first baby shower found their way into
the old dresser we had placed in the room.
Then, on January 4, my dad stopped by with the baby's
crib! John happily and eagerly put that together, and now it truly
feels like a baby's room (though we still must get a mattress).
We've even added the Mommy & Baby Bears to the crib, and the
beautiful hand-made blanket from Liz.
On January 10, our family baby shower was held,
and little JAM was indeed showered with many gifts! They've all
been placed in the room; once we receive the combo unit (dresser,
wardrobe, and changing table all in one), we will at last finish
the baby's room, and put everything in order.
As the Nursery is finished, and more baby stuff
is added, we'll post pictures and updates here!
