Baby's Nursery

It has been quite the process getting to this point,

but we finally have a Nursery that is ready for a little one,
whenever he/she arrives.

With all big changes there have been "growing pains".
We lost our guest room.
Ryan lost his giant desk and "man cave".
We moved a lot of stuff out and carried many things in.

Now the room has a completely new look...
First we moved the futon out
(thank you Margot & Jon for giving it a good home)

The space looked so empty!

Then there is often chaos before order...
Ryan packed up his desk and said goodbye to his dude space.
(Thank you Sarah & Jake for giving the desk a good home)However he ended up with this (in the dining area)
as his place to land his stuff:
So with the help of loans and generous gifts from friends and family,
we have put together our humble nursery.
Here it is in the round:

The Baby's Space

This was Ryan's blanket as a child:

And this bedding was used by myself,
followed by Andrea & then Scott when we were babes
(don't worry, it's all coming off when baby really sleeps in the crib-
nothing but a sheet to prevent SIDS)
The crib was slept in by all 3 of cousin Jeff & Karen's little girls

Kourt made this adorable banner for my baby shower,
and it makes a terrific Welcome Baby banner on the wall!

This stack of blankets makes me so excited for baby cuddles and tummy time

I also couldn't resist this glowing mushroom-

it creates the perfect dim light for those late night feedings.

So the nursery is just about ready.
And...
We took all the classes.
We've packed the hospital bag.
The car seat has been installed.
And my belly feels fit to burst.
We are ready to meet this baby,
whenever he/she decides to join us
(but let's hope we have a few more weeks!)!
