Our biggest job in here was to provide a new crib, crib mattress, and crib sheets--that was a fair chunk of our budget and we didn't have endless time to hunt craigslist for a gently used number that would meet current saftey standards. Thankfully, a little iPhone comparison shopping assured us the best deal in LA.After we found the crib, Megan, Gina, and I put on a little improv comedy skit entitled, "how many intelligent, fully-functional adult women does it take to assemble a *$$@#% crib?!?" We'll let you know if we make it to Broadway.
I am not sure that anyone will use the twin bed in baby's room--mom might choose to sleep in there, or she may stay in the other room. We re-arranged the furniture so that we could position the existing dresser as a changing station by adding a waterproof pad to the top.
Thanks to Annie, we put toys all over the place--some geared towards a typical 9 or 10 month-old and some that will also be fun when the baby's a bit older.
I gathered up all the baby toys and supplies that were blue and white and put them in this wicker basket. The frog popping out the top was so cheery--I hope the mom feels special when she sees this box o' loot for her her baby boy. And the basket will probably be a handy way to contain baby stuff as the home becomes more lived in.
