Bean Room Update

So, we've been slowly but surely getting the Bean's room put together. And by 'we', I mean, 'I'. RoBrotz has been out of town a lot recently with work. I think they're trying to utilize him as much as possible before I end up out on maternity leave, since we're not positive when that'll start. Not to mention, he has a band gig coming up next weekend that he and the boys have been prepping for. However, this ends up leaving little time for him to help do anything around the house. Honestly, I'm not writing that to complain, only to show that there's a reason why we're slacking on her room. Poor little Beanie Baby!!!

Anywho, this past weekend, I was able to finally get the crib together. I had purchased a few items for Bean's room last week from Amazon and received it all by Friday (woohoo - gotta love quick deliveries being on Amazon Mom). I initially wanted to get the bookshelf/storage cabinet put together for her room. I figured until the current desk gets moved out of there, I didn't want to 'clutter' up the room too badly. So I ended up putting the crib together. It took me longer than I anticipated, and after screwing and unscrewing the one bar 4 separate times, I finally got it all in place. Now this one is an older crib we received with a dropside, BUT I made sure it was secured and we won't be using the dropside portion of the crib.

SIL and FBIL may come pick up the desk tomorrow afternoon, pending the weather. It's been super rainy here, and they have an open truck to move it. Thus rain equals no desk moving. Arg! But it's not their fault!!! I know SIL is wanting to move it as much as I do with her nesting in overdrive! I can't believe she's due in 3 weeks. I'm hoping for her sake she goes early (just not too early - obviously!!! We don't want her little girl coming before she's ready).

So here's a breakdown of the list of stuff I've been slowly crossing off the list!
