The Crib is up! Isn't it beautiful?

That crib just melts my heart. *Sigh* So adorable.

This is the crib Brandon's Grandma Brawner bought for our baby Hunter. She died on December 5th, 2012 - so we decided it was time to get the baby's room going and the crib was the first thing that needed to be put up! What a blessing to have our baby sleep in the crib his Great Grandmother so lovingly got for him. She was so excited! It will be a beautiful reminder of her.

We also were motivated to get it up since on the same day Grandma died (on December 5th) - I was in the hospital for a few hours due to some contractions and dilation. I had the stomach flu a few days before so we believe it was just the dehydration and the stress from the last couple days! Thank goodness everything is fine and Hunter is staying inside for now, but it sure did give us a scare! And now we are motivated more that ever to be ready for him. So we got to it.

I documented Brandon's crib experience:

Look! Brandon actually took the time to read the instructions! What a guy.

Almost done - I am bouncing around the room in excitement at this point.

Ta-Da! Look at my grizzly man so happy to have done a good job. He says it was 'Easy Peasy.' :)

This is roughly how I will set the crib up. Don't you love the crib skirt? Grandma Debbie was so nice to buy my green elephant crib skirt that I REALLY wanted from etsy. I needed something super special for it since I didn't want to put bumpers in the crib as recommended for SIDS.

Now we need to put together the stroller Audrie and my Mom got us and buy a dresser! Almost there. *whew*
