Nursery, Part III

I'll post pictures later, but Stephen and I built Gavin's dresser yesterday.  It took us three tries and nearly five hours -- thank goodness Bobby helped build the way-more-complicated crib/changing table last week -- but it's built.  Not only is it built, but it looks AWESOME.  Now we just have to wait another few weeks for our glider to be delivered -- but thankfully, no assembly is required for that!

Having completed the furniture-building process, Stephen and I agreed that if your marriage can survive building a dresser together (when neither of you possess that skill), your marriage can survive anything.  There were a few tantrums and tears (I'm six months pregnant, give me a break), but at the end of the day it's nice to feel like we really worked hard to make an adorable home for Gavin (and his many, MANY clothes).  My parents came over for dinner last night and oooh'd and ahhh'd over the near-finished nursery, which of course made us forget the torture of building that dang dresser and just beam with pride over the weeks of work that have gone into the room itself.

My mom starts work on her under-the-sea themed nursery next week!  The bedding is ADORABLE (it's one of the sets I was looking at if I could've swayed Stephen from the sports theme), so the room is going to be precious.  We spent a lot of time at Lowe's looking at paint colors and carpet samples, so it'll be really neat to see how everything comes together.  The nursery is going in my old room at my parent's house, so Gavin and Quinn will hopefully have as many good memories in there as I do.

The set my parents ordered for the babies.  So cute!
