The Baby's Room

I have had a few requests to get some pictures up of the baby's room.  We finally have all of our furniture.  We were a little concerned that the baby might arrive before the dresser, but it all worked out in the end.  The crib we found early on and loved, so we bought it online.  Finding a coordinating dresser that we liked was a lot harder.  They were either too expensive or too fancy looking.  All we wanted was simple lines so this kid could use the dresser for a long time to come.

The chair we bought at Crate and Barrel and its my favorite piece.  The added bonus is that it is slip covered and the slipcover is machine washable. 

We didn't have to paint the room since we had already painted it a long time ago a neutral greenish-tan color.  The color is Camel and was originally for our living room 5 years ago.  Long story short, Cory painted our living room twice.

The chair, complete with the Boppy and two of the awesome homemade blankets we've received

The built in bookshelves...I had to pack up three boxes of books to store in the attic until a later date

We are working on the baby's library.  Hopefully this kid likes to read!  We have some of each of our old books, plus a few new ones.  The most important one is the book that explains all about Iowa!
The polka dot bins are holding the few rattles and toys we have for now.

Our dresser...now stocked with some clothes and plenty of diapers!

Our crib!  It has a drawer underneath where all of the extra mattress pads, fitted sheets and sleep sacks are.  On the left is the bumbo, the sassy rock n roll gym and the hamper.  On the right is both our diaper bags and the car seat!


We are just about at the two week countdown, which is crazy!  Today Dr. Moore said that she won't let us go any later than 41 weeks, so there is an end date in sight. I'm about ready for any day now...this belly is getting heavy :)
