The Crib

So we made our big announcement... mentioned a few things about how the pregnancy is going... and now its time to start getting ready. Getting ready for the day we bring our little one home has been a lot of fun and a little stressful at times. There are so many things that people think that you should get. We have had to narrow down what we think are the essentials. Out of the thousands of things that we could have started with, the first major purchase we made for our little Oreo was the crib. This little adventure started online and ended in Logan. In Logan there is a place called Stork Landing who specializes in baby items. We spent more time in this store then probably any other store we have ever been in together. It took us over two hours (exceeding closing time) to choose this crib. Let’s just say we were pretty pleased with our purchase by the time we left. 
                            
This is what we started with. This crib did not come in a box because we took the floor model and so they wrapped it up in cardboard with bubble wrap and some other material. The crib came in about six different pieces.

    
Putting the crib together turned out to be a pretty simple process. Nothing like you would imagine from all the funny jokes you hear about the dad trying to put all the baby stuff together. Before you start to think that the Brownie did all the work think again….. The Muffin did help where she could.
                                  
And now for the finished product……
                         
We decided to decorate the crib with a few accessories that we got. The white blanked was made by one of the grandparents (its super soft), the sheep in the corner actually folds out as a blanket and that was found by the Brownie’s dad, and the little shirt was our first baby clothes purchase. The Muffin could not resist that it said, “I Love Daddy” on the front.
                                                      
After all that work, we decided that our little baby corner still needed a little more decorating. We found these super cute wall stickers at the store and decided that they would be perfect for the crib corner.
                                                  
So our wall went from this…….
To this….   

Its not much but we like it and now it feels a little more suitable for our little Oreo!
