Jordan and I (and our two gatos) live in a cute little two bedroom apartment. It's 925 square feet and we really enjoy it there. In the guest room we have: a twin bed, exercise bike, weights and other work out equipment, two litter boxes, a bookshelf, a desk, an old box TV that isn't plugged in, an extra dining room chair, and two thick sleeping mats for guests. The closet is also full...so that left me thinking: Where Does Baby Go???! Why, in the master bedroom, of course! :) Considering we will only be living in Fresno and in that apartment until around July, it's really no biggie that baby has taken over half of our room. Just a little rearranging and organizing and voila! Baby now has a place to go. :) (And mommy and daddy STILL have a very nicely functioning master bedroom.)
After a few shopping sprees and a delightful baby shower at the coast last weekend, I am now fully prepared to have this baby boy in our home and taken care of. (Because it's not like I cold have done without the changing pad, 2 pocket slings, 30 newborn size onsies and bathtub squirters, right?! Hehe, so spoiled!) In my mind, there are still a few items I need or would like to have - such as a crib, crib sheets, changing pad covers, diaper pail, wipe warmer and swaddling blankets - but those things can wait. So here is a preview of our "nursery" until we move to San Diego and get to have a "real" one...
|
First of all, this is what the living room looked like yesterday after we arrived home from the coast and unpacked all the baby stuff. |
|
Aaaand apparently Hosea think HE'S the baby...a few second after this picture was taken he got squirted with the water bottle, btw, can't have kitty fur all over the baby's things! |
|
Baby changing station. I gave up my dresser - oh well, he's worth it! Obviously, you can tell that nothing really matches, other than the overall "blue theme", but like I said, it's only temporary until the "real" nursery can be put together in San Diego. |
|
|
Diapers, spit up rags, board books, shoes! |
|
Super CUTE wall sign from Michelle Farley...and a bag of baby teethers and toys for when he's a bit older. :) |
|
A plethera of beanies...because every child needs 15 beanies, right?! All of them are hand-me-downs. :) |
|
Booty department: wipes, diapers, lotion, vasaline, desitin. CHECK CHECK! |
|
First drawer: pajamas. Second drawer: everyday body suits. |
|
Middle drawer: 30, yes, I said 30, onesies, (Most are hand-me-downs from my beloved Ashely Chase.), little comfy pants, a pair of jeans, and some t-shirts. |
|
Bottom drawer: little sockies, bibs, some wash cloths and changing pad covers, pacis, and a toiletry kit. |
|
His sleeping area: of course, I know that he can't sleep with stuffed animals just yet, but for now that's where puppy is hangin' out. On the chair to the right houses a basket of slings, carriers, a bobby pillow, shopping cart cover and baby monitor. |
|
Baby boy gets a spot in the bathroom, too! His shelf has some washcloths there to the left and a in the green basket are his soaps, lotions, bath toys, and a nifty water pourer thing. (Thanks Chel Chel!) |
|
A closer look....just because. :) | |

|
And that's it for the baby nursery! I'm super blessed by all my wonderful friends and family for all the new and used items they have given me. Soooo thankful!!! I still need a crib, but I'm waiting on that until we move to San Diego. We don't have any room for one right now, so it really doesn't matter.
And now for an updated belly bump:

32 weeks along, 8 weeks to go (give or take!) |

Bare Belly Bump! |
