Nursery

Jaclyn came up this weekend to help your Kent and I set up the nursery. We met on Friday at Ikea to do some last minute shopping and get some inspiration. A little shopping lasted all night. We ended up getting 3 bar stools for the kitchen, a new dresser and night stand table for our room, and then a billion and a half odds and ends to decorate Squirt's room with. We drove back home in a terrible snow storm, but we all made it home safe. That night we were up until 2 am working on the bar stools, setting up the dresser, and the night stand table. I was exhausted. Squirt had a blast, and kicked and squirmed the entire time we were building! 

Saturday we slept in, we got up and got a quick breakfast. Then Jaclyn and I started organizing the nursery. Kent and I had really thrown everything in the room as we got things so it was a big mess. We started with the basics like laundry and opening up all of the toys and gifts we had gotten so far. Kent was busy building a bookshelf for your closet all day in the basement. Jaclyn and I then started making the curtains. We found a beautiful pattern online that we really centered around for the rest of the nursery's inspiration. I had fun learning how to make curtains, they really were not that hard! By the end of the day, we had your room set up, organized, and curtains up. We still need to get our wooden whale to hang above your crib, hang the paper lanterns, and hang all of the frames (and add pictures and decorations to them all!). Overall we did get a lot done. Kent even finished the closet shelves and Jaclyn and Kent brought it up and set it up in the closet. It looks great! It really feels like we are getting ready for you now. We even set up the pack and play for you in the living room. It's great looking around the house and thinking about you being here soon! 

Jaclyn left on Sunday and Kent and I took it easy all day to recover from a long weekend! Very well worth it! Thanks again Jaclyn for all of your help.
