This past weekend, my mom and aunt Susie came in to help get the nursery ready. Nothing like waiting until the last minute, huh? Especially since most women who are pregnant with twins are either on bed rest or have had the twins by this point. Me?? I hadn't even started the nursery. So luckily, I had a "team" motivating me to get this party started. BTW... Jack also moved to his big boy room over the weekend. We should have noticed the wall space in this room was better for two cribs before we moved in a few months ago, but oh well. That's why he also moved rooms.
Here are a few pictures of Jack's old room (the new nursery) before he moved:
Geez... looking at those pictures reminds me just how sad his old room was. I knew it wasn't decorated all that well, but I also knew he was moving rooms so we just dealt with it.
Here's his new and improved room :D After moving the furniture in, I left to paint the nursery (yes, it's ok for preggo women to paint!) and I put my mom and aunt in charge of hanging the decor. I love what they did... and it's different from what I would have done so I love it even more. It's waaaay better than his old room.
And... last but not least, here's the nursery. Yeah, it's in that really BARE stage right now. I realize that. We definitely need some wall art, but I'm having trouble deciding what to buy. And, we decided to only set up one of the cribs in this room and the other is set up in our room. We're planning to have the twins sleep together for a while, so a bassinet doesn't work while they're in our room. Eventually, both cribs will be against the blue wall. And, since they're the Jenny Lind style, we have the flexibility of positioning them several ways in the room. We also need a rocking chair of some sort, but when you think about rocking two babies (plus me) I'm not exactly sure what to buy. I've heard from other moms of multiples that a regular size chair doesn't work. Ugh... decisions. I'll be sure to post more pictures as it comes together (hopefully soon!).
