We'll Call This Before...

First of all, I have major nursery envy. We went to see my cousin's new baby tonight and their nursery was so cute! All pink & brown and ladybugs. Too adorable. So now I'm really ready to get ours finished. But I'd like to have a record to show what it started out like. Right now, it's a big mess! Also, my paint color does not show up at all. It totally looks white. Sucks! If I repainted, I think I'd do green. I'm a little concerned that I just keep picking up stuff here and there and that it's not all going to go together. So we'll see what happens when this is all said and done.

Here's the bargain changing table Doug picked up at a garage sale. Yes, I relented. If it gets Doug to change more diapers, I'm all for it. :) Unfortunately, he didn't seem to care that the finish is much too red & dark for anything we have. I was hoping Katie's room would be the one place that stuff actually matched! We could paint it, but it probably won't happen.
Here's the bouncy seat I got at a garage sale for $15! Mom bought the matching travel swing for $20. I'll probably end up buying it from her, if we don't get the one we registered for.


That's just what I have hung up. There are at least 10 more outfits in bags and whatnot.
Cute little night light shade I picked up in the Target bargain section. It was $2.50.
Quilt that goes with the bedding set I plan to use. It's really cute and I ended up putting most of the matching accessories on my registry. Actually, I think I put just about all of the accessories on there except for the mobile.
Here's the comforter to the first set I bought. It is still super cute, and I do like it, but I like the bright colors in the other one better.

I also picked up a Winnie the Pooh humidifier on clearance at Sam's Club today for $10. I registered for just a plain one, but I figure if we get it then we can either take it back for something we didn't get or pass along the Pooh one to one of the many people we know having babies right now.

So, that's it. Hopefully we'll start working on putting stuff together soon. Of course, once we get the dresser that should spur things along a little bit. At least we'll have a chance to put stuff away.

I can't wait to see it all come together! Love that lampshade, too, so cute.

If you think the room looks full now, you should wait until after the shower. Talk about baby-stuff explosion! :)

BTW, what is the exact date of your shower? I want to make sure your gift gets there in time.

The shower is going to be June 7.
