Bailey's room is finished!!

Wow! What a very productive day if I must say so myself. This morning we woke up, got lunch, and went to Babies R Us...Wes would not be able to function without eating before the chaos. I was surprised at out how painless our trip to the baby store was, thanks to the list I put together before we went. We left without using a cent of our own money along with a swing, bath tub, booster/play seat, nursing cover, some small toys, a health kit, and things to wash the bottles in. There is probably more but that is all I can remember, needless to say...we did a good job and got the rest of the stuff we need (well for now at least)!

Once we got home it was time to finish the room by sweeping, mopping, and cleaning windows while Wes worked on his little garden area outside. I was pretty exhausted by this point so we rested then got back to work and hung pictures. I have learned from hanging of pictures that I should not be trusted with a tape measure. I thought I was doing such a good job too, until the pictures were clearly not the same distance apart...we got a good laugh out of that. I was having anxiety about putting up Bailey's name above her crib because the sticky tape we got, really IS sticky so any mistake would have made me crazy. I am really happy with how everything in the room came out, it doesn't seem over done and busy like other nurseries I have seen pictures of. I am sure Bailey will eventually help clutter it up if she is anything like her mommy ;). Here is an overload of pictures of her room! FINALLY! Bailey....you can come now...


Took us a bit to figure out how to put her name up until we finally agreed on this, plus it was pretty easy to do.



Here is the glider I was so adamant about buying (VERY happy with it)! I found the cute little pink flower table on sale at Kohl's, I was very excited about this purchase. The shelf on the wall was actually one I bought over a year ago and it matches the furniture pretty well.


Close up of the books on shelf. The Tale of Tom Kitten was given to me a long time ago by my dear friend Jenny L. The Squirrel Nutkin book is one that is old that was somebody's in my family a long time ago, that has just followed me through the years. The Peter Rabbit is the newest addition and is from my friend and co-teacher Brandy. These three books are special to me in some way.



Here is the changing table with mommy and daddy diaper bags on the floor next to it :).

I got these pictures from Ebay for dirt cheap and then found a great deal on frames, I love them! Here are close ups of pictures...







Wes had to jump in...


The bookshelf (without Wes)...



A little dedication to Beatrix Potter on the bookshelf. Peter Rabbit stuffed animal is one of Wes' favorites in the room. The "B" I found on Ebay (I love Ebay if you haven't noticed) and the books Brandy found at Target on our shopping spree day...so cute!


Here is a close up of the picture above the bookshelf. Another purchase from Ebay and my favorite of the prints I got! Wes and I found this frame at the craft store, I am in love with the whole thing... works perfectly. The picture does not do this print any justice, looks great in person.



Here is Bailey's bassinet that Pam got us...love it! This will actually be in our bedroom once she comes home. I could have probably ironed the skirt but honestly, I don't think Bailey will mind that her mom is becoming a bit lazy these days.


And a cute door hanger Wes picked out when we went shopping with Pam... I think I may one day appreciate it more and use it more than little Miss Bailey ;)



That is all for now...time for bed since we are getting up and going to Tahoe for our 3rd anniversary tomorrow.
