Some of the things given to Mr. Peanut by friends and family. He's not even out of the oven yet and everyone is so excited!!
This is Mr. Peanut's shelf. It has some gifts from Jessica, mom, and Auntie Emo! (And some diapers Brent bought!)
Brent moved all of Georgia's furniture out of Mr. Peanut's room! I was convinced we wouldn't have room in our small, tuckunder garage to accomodate everything... but it all worked out! This has been vexing me since Day 1 of the pregnancy. Of course, in Minnesota, you wait until Spring to do anything outdoors and that includes moving things in and out of a cold basement.
We have been storing Georgia's things for her in our spare room. It's essentially been Georgia's room! Now her twin bed with trundle bed is in the office, and her other stuff (dresser, nightstand, vanity, chair, and bins) is i the basement. I even made sure the dresser has something covering the top of it so it doesn't get all scratched up. She refinished all of the furniture (that is why she is insisting on keeping it even though she has been out of the country for 2+ years) so as long as we can provide a free storage space we will. We may need to revisit that as our family continues to grow but we'll take that as it comes. I am just thrilled that it all worked out... for all of us.
We decided to leave the twin bed up here and put my double bed downstairs because it will better suit my parents when they come in July. They would never be comfortable on a double or queen bed... but they can certainly be comfortable in their very own twin beds!
Phase 1 is complete! Phase 2 is painting in a nice soft yellow we picked out the other day at Home Depot and Phase 3 is adding the crib and what not. The big finale, of course, comes around July 18 when we bring home our baby boy...
Here are some before and after pics:
