Baby J's Room

After the mishap last week of discovering that the changing table and crib mattress had been accidentally sent to Cambridge, Chris and I decided to hold off on putting together the crib that we had ordered. We were also iffy as to whether or not the crib and changing table would be the same color, since we were expecting the changing table to be more white than the antique white of the crib. We received the changing table and mattress on Friday and to our surprise the colors matched perfectly. We were thinking that we might end up taking the crib back and keeping the changing table because we wanted furniture to be white-white instead of off-white. After seeing that they were the same color, we decided to give the antique white a chance and it turned out looking perfectly.

We had our good friends the McWhorters over for dinner on Friday night and after that we just couldn't wait to put together Baby J's crib and changing table. We (I supervised) spent a few hours putting everything together. It honestly wasn't that bad. I can say that, even though I didn't help very much, because Chris never got frustrated putting it together. I am sure part of the lack of frustration came from the excitement that we both felt as he constructed the bed our baby will be sleeping in, in just a few weeks.

Chris chipping for the last time in Baby J's room. I am guessing that he will do his best to figure out how to continue his practicing in Baby J's room....I am just hoping he manages to stay clear of the crib and changing table.

Just getting started......

Taking extra care with the piece that will hold our baby boy!

We had to get a picture of me pretending to do something, lol!

The changing table was super easy, so Chris was relieved. It only took about 10 or 15 minutes to put together.

After we got the crib together, we couldn't resist putting Baby J's bedding on the crib to see how it would look. Turns out that the antique white really does not matter at all. It looks great with the bedding that we picked out that is mostly white. Baby J's room is slowly but surely coming together now that we have the crib and changing table. All we lack is a glider, rug and maybe a small table for a lamp and we should be good to go. See below for Baby J's transportation themed bedding!

Chris with the finished product! So proud!

Close-up picture of bedding. It's so cute!

And, the interior of the crib. We can't wait to lay our baby boy down to sleep in here for the first time!

The changing table! Thanks Mom and Dad!

Chris imagining changing his first dirty diaper. He is SO looking forward to it!

The best pic we can get of his whole room. It is still a little blah right now, but it will get there!
