We bought the crib today! The last one I blogged about was the one we purchased! They said it will take between 9-11 weeks but could come sooner, that is the maximum amount of time we can expect. So in the chance it does come sooner we need to start preparing for this thing called a nursery. We plan to clean out both guest room and office closets next weekend. We are moving the guest room into the office and the old guest room will be the nursery. Once we get back from Michigan we will at least prime the room (it's yellow right now) and paint the ceiling back white. Then once we find out boy or girl on September 17th we will be able to pick out paint colors and get to painting the walls. As long as the room is just painted before the crib gets here we will be okay. We opted in for delivery and assembly so we don't have to put it all together and they remove all the trash etc. That being said, they will need to assemble it in the nursery since the crib wont fit through the door, hence why we need the room painted. Worst comes to worst, we will just put some painting tarps over the crib and maneuver ourselves around it. Hope that doesn't have to be the case though!!
We decided on a girl bedding set, but are still undecided on a boy bedding set... Here is the girl set we like
What we mainly like about it is there really is no "theme" to it. We can decorate the nursery in three different colors, light pink, dark pink and lime green. It wont have a white crib of course but we think it will look better that way. If we had a girl, I picture a lime green shag rug, lighter pink walls, and darker pink accents on the walls, with some green in it too. Some of you know we wanted to do purple for the girl, but we had a horrible time trying to find cute purple bedding sets so we changed the design plan. We love this set!
If we have a little man, we are thinking either teal, orange and tan for the color scheme. It sounds weird but I promise its cute. Or navy blue with lighter yellow... of course this is Ryan's vote for Michigan! Ha, so cute!
Well anyways, just thought I would update you guys! Oh and tonight my sister gave us a TON of baby clothes, some are gender neutral so we will be able to use either way, and some are of course for little mans, so if we dont have a boy we will pass them on. Thanks sis, love them all! Hope everyone had a happy weekend!
Can't wait to see it all come together! :)
