34 WeeksHow has it been over a week since the last post? I'm not quite sure, but time is going quickly.
In nursery news, the most exciting developments have been the acquisition of a rocking chair, changing table and baby swing, all from Craigslist. I guess once I got over the hump of having never used it before, I just took off! And now I'm going to have to refrain from even looking at anything for a while. But we did get some good deals!
The rocking chair we bought more for its beauty than its price (but it's something I'll love having in our home for years to come!)
This we bought more for its price than its beauty. I'm not crazy about the particle-board shelves, and I'm thinking of painting the whole thing white to give it a clean, fresh look and maybe seal in some of that particle board. John thinks we should leave it, since the color of the wood does basically match everything else in the room. We'll see who "wins" . . . :-)
This little swing made me happy by both its price and its beauty! Its neutral colors will look nice in our house, plus they'll work if we ever have a boy someday. And it even folds up a little bit.
The goal for the week is to finish the painting on the wall! I haven't done any more of that since the last update, but I have washed and sorted all the new baby things we were given at our showers and written all my thank you notes! Can you tell I like affirmation? :-)

Gretchen, I had no idea you had this blog! Now, I've bookmarked. :) I have that exact same swing! James wasn't a fan, but I saved it to keep at our in-laws' house for your beautiful baby. Keep up the good nursery work.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm with you. I think you should paint the changing table white.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input on the changing table. ;-) and for saving your swing! I guess we'll find out if this baby likes it or is more like her cousin James soon enough!
