G-Baby's Room

Here are pics of G-Baby's room...FINALLY! After Mike's previous vulnerable post, I didn't want to steal any of his thunder...or give further credence to his phobia # 3.

I love the furniture - we bought all three pieces as part of a matching set on Craig's List. The set is about five and a half years old, but it is solid wood and everything is in really great condition - hardly a scratch on any of the pieces. The woman who sold it to us told us she was really glad we are expecting, because she didn't want "just anyone" to have it, which makes me wonder who would purchase nursery furniture if they weren't having a baby.

Getting everything home was an adventure, and we learned just how big (or small) our Mazda really is. Many thanks to our helpful neighbor and his entire family who drove all the way from Leander to South Austin to help transport the furniture back to our house.

Here is the hutch combo - also pictured is "Pat Them Gently," the book that Reilly took offense to:

Here is the crib - it's not a drop-side per se, but the top part drops down:

Here is the changing table - what's neat about this piece is that after you don't need a changing table anymore, you can flip it over and it becomes a dresser:

Mike's installing a ceiling fan today, and then all I think that's really left to finish G-Baby's room is looking for a nice glider and decorating the walls. It's so surreal to think that G-Baby will be here in about 7 weeks!
