Liam's Nursery! (Finally!)

Yes. I only have 9 days left before my due date. And yes, I just today finished getting the nursery in order! He is, after all, the second born.

So what started out as an office, then a play room and for the last several months the "baby room" has officially been transformed into a place suitable for little Liam to call his own.

We started our adventure letting Collin pick out what bedding he liked from Babies R' Us. He, of course, picked my second choice, but I figured it wasn't going to kill me. Then we let Aunt Heidi pick out our colors and tell us where to put them. After that it was up to Mommy, Collin, Grammy and Poppa to put up the paint and the border. When that was finished Mommy and Daddy shampooed carpets and put all the furniture together just in time for Aunt Kimi to come help sort through boxes and boxes.....and let's face it....boxes of baby clothes and gear that have been sitting in the attic since Collin stopped using them.

So one week after all the sorting began, load after load of laundry was done and one minor melt down by Mommy over where the sheet that matches the bedroom could possibly be (in the crib....where else?) we finally have a functioning nursery. Now if only we had a baby to put in it.....
