Getting things ready... well kinda

When Jada was cooking Jennie and I worked diligently day-in and day-out to prepare the house and nursery. We were comletely done with the nursery by month 5 of the pregnancy. Wasn't it pretty!


This time around we ABSOLUTELY suck. Isabella will be moving into Jada's old room, which currently consists of: Jada's broken crib, Bella's new crib (still in a box), a new changing table (actually put together), a green wall that needs to be re-painted to match, purple curtains which need to be replaced, and a glider/ottoman (still in a box). When you walk into the room you feel sad inside. I really need to get my butt in gear! I am strongly hoping that some of my friends will come over and assist me in the assembly of these items, as it can be a very long and tedious project. Ugh. But the finished product will be wonderful!


This is the crib:

It is a coffee color that is nice and dark but still has some brown in it. There is a drawer underneath, but apparently it just sits on the floor and isn't attached to the actual crib. Still, I really like it :)

We are not using the sheet set shown in the picture, for these you need to scroll down :)


Here is our changing table

We don't have any of the accessories yet and will probably get those at pottery barn kids (they have the softest stuff).





The table is the same coffe color as the crib and we will have the same set-up with the baskets and such.


Jennie and I were really lucky to find the perfect bedding for the nursery. In this first picture you can see the inside of the bumper which has yellow flowers and scribbled sheep. The comforter says "Isabella Rose" and is my favorite piece in the set. It is very good quality, soft, and heavy.


The sheets are solid yellow with the same sheep pattern.

Here you can see the entire set from the outside. We also got the baby pillow sham, which says "Bella" on it.



In the background you can see a small part of the polka dotted curtains. We have these also, along with the crib skirt.



Also, in addition to these items, we have this. First, you see the picture on the wall of our little sheep friend. He is actually a peg board slip cover, so you can poke things in him :) In this picture you can see our sheep mobile. It's going to be so adorable. It hangs from the ceiling, so we don't have to worry about fitting it to the crib.


We decided to do everything in yellow/black/white this time around since Jada was a total pink/purple kind of girl.


Hopefully, Bella will like it as much as we do!
