Baby Room

My husband has been just amazing. He's always amazing, but has been especially amazing this last week. Every day, starting Tuesday because he had a final on Monday, he's been getting me into Ayla's room to work on little bits at a time. I can't do much more than a little at a time because my back starts to hurt too much, but that little bit has really added up.

So far we have de-tag-ified all of her clothes, and he's been cycling them through the wash so that the sizes are kept seperate. This was important to me because we'd already taken the time to sort through all her clothes and sort them by size. As of a bit earlier this evening he had cycled through all of her washables, and they're currently sitting in piles on the bed.

Yesterday Andrew put all the linens on the crib for me. I tried, then got frustrated because the bumper wasn't sitting in the crib and tying symmetrically. I tried to fix it, but my belly kept getting in the way, and then my back started hurting. I got frustrated and was about to start crying when I asked him to take care of the damn bumper, and he stepped in, rotated it about a quarter turn, and tied it down. Now her crib is all ready to go! Well, except for the bumper. Andrew's worried that she'll suffocate with it in the crib, so when she comes home the bumper will be taken out. In the meantime, this is what her crib looks like.
Now I'm going to go fold some more linens. Tomorrow's another ultrasound and my pre-admission interview. I'll have more Ayla pictures to post tomorrow evening!

  1. Don't feel bad. When I was pregnant I couldn't change the sheets on the crib. Actually, I can still barely do it, it's super awkward to pull the mattress out. We kept our bumper on when Sammy was a newborn. He didn't move around in his sleep so we didn't see the need to remove it. Of course, you could argue that he didn't move around so there was no point in having it... :)
