Nursery is done!

Evan!  Your room is finally done!  I think we are just about as prepared as we will ever be.  It took some serious organizing but everything has come together nicely.  It is hard to imagine just how much a little baby has until you start to put it all away.  First there are all of the extraordinarily generous gifts we have received.  Then there are the cases where you are out shopping and pick something up “just because” or maybe it was a good deal.  Not to mention all of the Mom-2-Mom and garage sales…  All of that piles up and man are we set for a while.  I’m not sure how many more clothes we can even fit in the closet.  It almost looks as if the entire Jungle 1-2-3 collection exploded in his room but then I took a gander at this picture and realized that indeed we are missing some items but that will be juuuuust fine.

The colors in the photos are a little deceiving.  It is much more on the softer than brighter side.  On Evan’s crib, we have a mobile, sleep sheep, and musical light thingy.  Poor guy will be instantly overstimulated.  Also, because one should not use bumpers in the crib anymore, we got the idea from friends to still display them by attaching them to the outside of the crib.  And because one should not use a quilt in the crib anymore, we just attached it to the wall so it can still be on display.  Why do they put all this stuff together as a package if it is bad for baby?

Ahh well who cares.  We love how it turned out and can’t wait to show it off to Evan, whenever he decides to make his entrance… which doesn’t look like anytime soon.  Anyone care to guess his birthday? 😀 YAY!

      Oh I wonder why you picked that date??!? Well, the 17th is my lovely Grandma Jo’s birthday and the 19th is my sweet cousin Courtney’s b-day so you are in some fine company. Seems to be a congested part of the month. I was shooting for 7-11-11 but alas that passed too.
