Nursery...almost

I'm sorry it has taken me this long to put up the nursery pictures. This, I think, is how it will stay. We had originally put the swing by the door, but we noticed when we came into the room, we would almost trip over one of the legs. Imagine trying to remember the leg with 2 hours sleep, in the dark, and a crying baby in your arms. Thus, the changed in position. I hope it works for us.
The basinet has more onesies, socks, carseat cover, etc. in it.

On top of the chest of drawers is the CD player, the wipes warmer (which will move to the dresser once we clean it off), and part of the monitor. Behind the chest of drawers, is the bather, the rocking chair, and nursing "equipment". I say "equipment" because that's what it's going to feel like I'm carrying in to work each day. I'll have a pump, bottles, plastic bags, cooler, purse, and any other things work-related. THAT'S going to take some practice!

This is a picture of the walls. The right wall in lavendar and the left wall is green. Jason and I wish we could afford crown molding to go on the ceiling, but that will have to wait for a more stable time.



This one turned out darker because we don't have blinds/curtains up yet. We are looking at Lowe's and Home Depot to try to find some shades that are similar to the conversion van's. You just lift or pull down (no cords to worry about since the window is so low to the ground). The glider and the swing in the corner, we got from Sarah's neighbor in Monroe. Both, hardly used at all.



The most important piece of furniture we have gotten---THE DIAPER PAIL!
Ten bucks at consignment. On top of the dresser (once we clear it off), we will put the changing pad, changing organizer, and wipes warmer. In the top drawers will be diapers, creams, grooming stuff, etc.



And, we're back at the door. Thank you for choosing Baby Shanks' tour. We hope you enjoyed yourselves! I love you all and can't wait for you all to visit and hold our little baby girl.
PS. still don't have a name for her.

Well, that was a fun tour. Thank you for showing us. I still think you ought to move the swing out to the living room when the baby is born. That's where you'll be spending most of your time. But, who am I to say? Just the Grandma! The room looks great. Now, we just need a tiny little baby girl to put in there! Can't wait!

I love the colors too. The nursery looks like it's really taking shape and, like mom said, ready for a little baby.
