so last weekend, the three of us did a lot of shuffling around. originally, we were gonna have an extra twin bed in the baby's room for company, for me, whatever we might need it for. we had a bedside drawer shoved into the closet, hoping to make use of that, and had one dresser that was just big enough for the change pad to sit on. i decided i needed more counter space to put the wipes and other things i may need.
before i go on, i must tell you my mom has this obsession with collecting blankets and dressers. actually her real obsession is with the blankets, but she keeps buying dressers because she runs out of places to put all those blankets we have. we could probably host a basketball team for a night and have more than enough blankets for every player, coach, assistant coach, water boy, etc.
so jesse and i sacrificed a closet. we have two in our bedroom - a walk-in and a normal regular closet. we shoved all our clothes into the walk-in and cleared out the regular closet. then, we shoved as much blankets as we could into that one so we could free up some dressers.
we also decided to shove the bed into the basement for now. Jesse's family and my brother will be here for Christmas and so we would need to clear out that bed at that point anyway to make room for the queen mattress (we also have too many extra mattresses - a spare queen and two spare twins).
so now this is how the nursery sits: the crib, the cradle (which will be in our room with us for the first few weeks), two dressers, and a wardrobe (which contains the excess blankets that we couldn't fit into the closet). we also got rid of that bedside dresser in the closet and put in a hanging organizer instead.
just a few decorative touches here and there - a shelf, some wall decorations, maybe wooden letters for her name, and a mirror - and i think we'll be ready. i hope she likes her room.
