The Nursery

I know I said these would be up yesterday. But, last night we decided to go buy a new digital camera before baby arrives. Ours was dropped earlier this year and just hasn't worked the same since then. So... we found one we liked that was in our price range and made the purchase. Which means today, I got to play around with it some and use it to take pictures of the completed room. Well worth the slight delay... at least in my book! So here we go! BabyR's nursery, just waiting for him to join us and be in it.

It was two months ago that we made our first trip to Lowe's for paint to begin the nursery. It's hard to imagine that back in August, the room looked like this:



Two months and many hard hours later, (not to mention a few dollars) this is what it looks like:

Inside Armoire:	Armoire Closed:
The Build-a-Bear Collection (well, part of it, anyways), on the shelves Daddy made:	Changing Table:
Rocking Chair, recovered by Grandma, with the quilt over the back of it:	Crib:
Inside the crib:	Dresser, restained by Daddy:
Rug:	Valance, with a few alterations by Mamaw:

And, as a joke today, when Grandma came to visit, we hung this on the wall in the place his name will be (she currently refers to him as "Baby No Name"):


And, of course, since Mamaw calls him something different, we put this up before she came by to see the completed space:


It really does bug them that we won't share what his name is... so we just couldn't resist having a little fun. Baby will be here soon enough, and then they'll know.
