One Step Closer With The Baby Room
The face of concentration!
Dan had the chance to be Lego-man again (and this time it was legit)! Our dresser that we also ordered online came right before we left for Michigan for Christmas, so we had something to look forward to when we came home. I can’t take any credit for the assembly as Dan did it all – and I have to say, it was not easy as the directions apparently were no good (and yes, I do remember reading that on the reviews). Dan said at the least the reviews were right – a great dresser, but the directions, not so much.
It is a Storkcraft Avalon 6-Drawer Universal in Espresso from Wal-Mart, to match our crib. It was kind of a long shot in guessing if the color would be remotely close, but thankfully it matches almost perfectly!
After the baby shower we had in Michigan, we now have baby items to fill these drawers! I couldn’t wait to start putting things in the drawers, so I unpacked a box of diapers and lined a drawer with them. Maybe an odd first item to pack our drawers with (and maybe it’s completely normal), but I have to wash all of her clothes yet, so diapers it was! The toys I still have too much fun looking at, so I still have those setting out.
I’m telling you, it takes some serious concentration when you do not have good directions!
THE FINISHED PRODUCT!
Every time we walk into her room, I can’t even explain the words and joy that fills
our hearts. We just dream. We just imagine. We even can’t wait until those wee hours of the morning when we have to rock her back to sleep. Speaking of, that is the next item on the list – a rocker/recliner for the baby room. We are going for something comfy as we will be spending many hours in it I am sure! But hours we honestly can’t wait for. I know there are many of you thinking “oh you just wait…you will not enjoy those morning hours” and you may be right. But for now, this is something we have been wanting for so many years, so for now, we will continue to be excited!
I will continue to post baby room updates as we get it completed! Who would have thought that we would have the opportunity to do this – what a gift!
