Mom and Dad have begun the process of getting your room set up. We have purchased your crib! Daddy listened to the world's longest baseball game and had a beer while he constructed the crib all by himself. I helped a little bit but for the most part, Louie and I just sat on the bed and overlooked the progress. It is perfect and your new bedding will look wonderful with it!
After weeks and weeks of looking at different bedding options and trying to figure out why baby bedding is almost double the cost of adult bedding we finally came to a decision. Your original color scheme was going to be very modern and colorful with reds, greens and grays. After realizing that the cost of that choice was going to be more than your Dad and I have spent on the last three bedding sets combined in our room we opted to go the more economical route and picked a bedding that was well within our budget but still just as beautiful. Your room is going to be a calming and soothing combination of cream, beige, brown, white with some hints of color thrown in throughout.
I fell in love with this crib set for a few reasons. First of all it was affordable. Secondly it has 5 different textiles that make up the patchwork quilt and your mother being very tactile loved the feeling of the different fun fabrics that were used. Lastly, the colors made me instantly feel relaxed and I am hoping they will have the same effect on you.
The above dresser is a gift from Grandma Lori and Papa Patrick. You will be able to keep this dresser for a long time and hopefully as you become a teenager you will do a better job of keeping clothes in the drawers than I ever did growing up. Note to my daughter: clothing belongs in drawers, not on the floor! Trust me, you will be much happier spending the short amount of time it takes to put them away rather than spending a long period of time cleaning your room. Just a little motherly advice. Take it or leave it.
We are continuing to shop for a rocking chair and some artwork and accessories but just knowing that we have the crib, bedding and dresser makes us feel that much more prepared for your arrival.
We love you baby girl. 26 weeks, can you believe it?!?
Love,
Mom
