Baby room...almost done.


With a little more than 4 weeks to go, we're now putting the finishing touches on the baby's room. It has been a long process in getting all the "necessary" things (I didn't realize that baby was going to be so needy, I know that I wasn't...), but we're just about done and more excited than ever about the new arrival.


Almost all the furniture is here and safely assembled ("safely" is a loose term, like how I loosely assembled all the pieces) and Meg has been busy washing everything...twice. The dresser is just about full, which is amazing given the tiny size of most the clothes!


As you can see, I think that Gracie is excited about what she thinks is her new room, especially the Pooh rug, which she makes a point to sleep on whenever we are in there. Rigger (sleeping on the couch in the other room) is a little less interested. In his mind, he already been displaced once by Gracie, so the arrival of the baby will be nothing new to him. At 5 years old (birthday is this Sunday), Rig is taking the mature approach to things.

All that's left now is to hang a few things on the walls and put a baby in the crib, no big deal, right?
