Preparing for the New Baby

We have almost finished preparing the house for the arrival of our newest family member. The hardest part has been finding a place to put all of the junk that was in the old room. We started in the spring by moving Gwyn into the extra bedroom. We repainted and decorated the room and converted her old crib into a full-size bed. She loves it!

Then we put wallpaper and moulding in the nursery. We decided to leave the paint the same color. 

Just last week,

 I finished building the new crib! It's my best one yet. The style is slightly different, but more suited for a boy I think. It turned out great, and as you can see, it passed the weight test.                

We also bought an unfinished dresser and stained it the same color as the crib.

Shannon's co-workers threw a baby shower and we scored enough supplies to keep us stocked for the first 6 months. Thanks everyone for your gifts!
