The beginnings of the Baby Room!!!

This weekend I got a big spurt of energy and "more to do than I have time for" syndrome so I set out to really tackle the baby's room which right now is a guest room/storage room.  We made tons of progress on it, getting rid of tons of stuff and finding places for other things.  We got the closet completely cleared out and most of the room cleared out as well.  The only things that remain in that room right now that have to be moved are the bed, the end table, and 4 boxes of swing top bottles for beer making.  As soon as we are able to move those items out of the room we will be able to order the baby's furniture!!!  We also tackled what is now the craft room but is soon to be guest room/craft room.  Currently we have to move out the armoire (which is already sold and paid for she just has to come get it), put out the old broken bookshelf on big trash day the first wednesday of August, and find places for a few misc. items, and then we'll be able to rearrange what's left and move the bed and end table in.  Just a couple more weekends of diligent work and we'll be ready.  Once we were done with the big items I decided to go ahead and wash everything cloth that we already have for the baby.  Which isn't really all that much, but it makes me feel better having it in it's spot instead of in bags in the room.  Here's some pictures of the progress that we've made so far and of some of the baby's things that we've already gotten.  I should have done before and after pictures... but I didn't.

Just a few things I scored from a thrift store
My first load of baby laundry... smells soooo good!!!
Basket of socks, hats and bibs (obviously I'll need more of these lol)

Closet organizer with The ducky "Pops" (my daddy) picked out fir the baby, some towels, swaddles, a boppy cover, a blanket, receiving blankets and some diapers

  3. Lol... well there's only about 10 outfits in there all newborn size, only 2 swaddlers, 2 hooded towels, a couple of receiving blankets, 1 boppy cover (no boppy) 2 washcloths, about 8 pair of socks, 3 hats, and 1 sleep sack. Still need a lot of stuff but it's definitely a start!!! Mom... you could be Gram, or Grams, or Grammy, or Oma, or Gee Gee... lol
