UPS Made My Day!

When I got home for lunch today I was greeted by a large box on my front stoop.  What was inside you ask?  Take a look...

Cuddle Buddy

Changing Pad Cover

Lumbar Pillow

Blanket


We are still awaiting the arrival of window treatments, crib skirt, sheet and bumper.  The company has advised us that those items are scheduled to ship out sometime the week of February 18th.  So excited to get the nursery finished.  In addition to the bedding, we are waiting on a recliner that we ordered.  It is considered "custom" because we chose the fabric color.  I am learning that "custom" equals a LONG wait...not good for impatient people like me.  Lol!

Nursery Progress

We have finally gotten the furniture cleared out of the spare bedroom and are poised to start the transformation into Logan's nursery. 

Today we ordered the crib bedding and window treatments.  We are trying desperately to stay away from a themed nursery and have chosen a fabric combination of yellow and various shades of blue.  This color combination was Eddie's first pick and I just decided to go with it. :)

We went to look at furniture this afternoon and have decided to go with a "lifetime" crib which turns into a toddler bed, day bed and then full-size bed.  Rather than the normal "nursery" dressers we have chosen two pieces from the same manufacturer of our bedroom set.  This (hopefully) means that this furniture will last through high school.  That is our intent anyway! 

We are painting next Saturday!  I will be sure to post pictures of the various stages of progress in the nursery.  I am so excited that we are beginning to make progress and create a space for our little man..

Here are the fabrics chosen with care by Daddy:
