Our little monkey's nursery :)

His crib, complete with new bedding from Aunt Kerry and Uncle Brad! :)
Our friend Jessica let us borrow her Pottery Barn crib that has been hanging out in her garage... only problem? Didn't have any hardware. So, I call Pottery Barn to get hardware, and they can only send a WHOLE NEW CRIB! And, they have in-home delivery, so they put it together for us too!


Mom and Dad helped me score this awesome glider on Craigslist. A $700 glider (new)... that we paid under $200 for and I LOVE IT! I may actually sleep here tonight :)

My dear friend Rachel (Charette) Rhodes, who I grew up with in Rhode Island, couldn't make it down for the shower... but sent these awesome gifts!! (And she's coming to see us in October!! ) These stickers are over Gunney's closet and the mobile from the crib picture are also from Rachel!

My husband is a genius!! We used the shower decorations as valances (thanks for your help/idea Ally!)... so the valance that came with the crib set wasn't going on the window. Mikey had the idea to get an extra shower curtain rod, and hang it in front of the plain white curtain that we already had. Voila! Instant themed bathroom! (And I stuck the giraffe on the wall too)

This bookcase is across from his crib, over the changing table/dresser. I actually owned all of these monkeys... now they have a good home! The baseball bat is signed by Mike's BSA friends, and the books are a collection of baby books for Gunney and books that I've acquired/read while pregnant. (Someone has to start the library, we're the first of most of our friends to have a baby!)


Sarah and AKD spent an entire night with me sorting all of his clothes (Thanks for Cat and Cole, we have enough onesies to last us at least until August 2012...)

Mike carried the furniture to the room single handedly... yes, he's a maniac!

The baseball glove and baseball hanging from the ceiling fan are from Mike's room growing up

Mike put the lamp and bookcase next to my glider so I have places for all of my things during late night feedings.

The "beer fridge" that used to be an end table in our living room is now in the baby's room for late night refreshments and milk storage... man, are we growing up!?!




We are just in love with the nursery, and can't wait to bring our little man home!
