Well it is coming along more slowly than I had hoped but not only do we have a changing table and a crib, but now we have an armoire. All we need is the glider. The glider we want is out of stock at the warehouse and none of the local Babies "R" Us stores had it. I guess that means it's popular.
We almost didn't get the armoire we wanted either. It has since been discontinued and no one seemed to have it in stock. In two days we had been to three of the four Babies 'R' Us stores that are local to us. We ended up getting it at the Cherry Hill, NJ store. We were hoping to get it in tax free Delaware (which is where we bought the stroller) but no such luck. We came home and the Doc began assembling the unit. While he worked on that I began the unpacking/organizing of all the great baby items we received at our baby shower.
I took all the baby clothes, sheets and receiving blankets and washed them with Dreft the baby laundry detergent and then proceeded to fold and put them away. All of the onesies were folded and put in the drawer directly below the changing table I figured that since that is what he'll be wearing most of the time I should have them in a convenient location. The armoire has a hanging feature and some of the clothes were hung up. Pajamas and T-shirts were placed in the armoires drawers. It's not as anally color coordinated as Brian's but at least they're hung up, put away and sort of organized. At least that makes one room in the house!
As you can see from the pictures we have a nursery in progress. We still have some work to do. We (well mostly the Doc) are currently working on fixing up the closet so that it can be used for toy storage and more clothes and odds and ends. We bought some rubbermaid tubs and the Doc put up a new hanging rack with a shelf and then another shelf below. It isn't quite finished yet which is why there is no picture. It looks nice so far and we are looking forward to finishing the room in time for the arrival of the little guy. More updates to come. Next Update - attack of the swollen ankles!

It wasn't anal...it looked nice. Too bad it lacked practicality....the sizes were all miss-matched.
So, can I vent for a moment about Dreft? Why does it have to be so expensive. I stopped using it when the bottle ran out, and once Erica found out, she made me get another. I actually considered just refilling the bottle with cheap stuff without her noticing...but I didn't. Hehehe.
Excited yet? Now that the nursary is starting to come together and all the items are ready to be used...you must be. One more month to go?
