You can tell me that nurseries don’t need to be ready for babies right away, but let’s face it people I’m too much of a planner for that and quite honestly I needed this project to be done. So I’m not knocking anyone who had their nursery done later or way in advance. For us, it had to be done before he got here.
Over the last 3-6 months we’ve been accumulating things for the nursery. Progressively making trips to IKEA. Once for an 8-drawer Hemnes dresser with organizer inserts, a second time for Kallax bookshelves and a third for some Miriam curtains. Then there was the trip to Home Depot for paint once we finally settled on a color scheme (and also for ceiling paint) which took 3-4 months in itself. Painting the room, ceiling and closet. Then we bought the artwork from minted.com which took a while to get a good sale and free shipping promotions. Finally, there were several showers where people just were so gracious and generous to give us monetary gifts and other must-have items that were absolutely needed for the nursery and the baby. We were so incredibly blessed by our friends and family and want to thank them so very much. Everything they provided for us helped us get this project done and also just set us up to be ready to receive this sweet baby boy of ours!
