Made the crib
I finally put the crib together over the weekend. It may not sound like much (and it didn't seem like much to me) ... but once that's done, you're in a whole new realm.
There's where the baby's going to sleep.
Holy (insert shocking word of choice here).
You can actually stand next to the crib and picture a baby in it. And then you can wonder what the heck ever made you think you were ready for this.
That being said, the construction went surprisingly well. I was concerned this would turn into another Ikea nightmare, where I'd end up exhasperated, bleeding slightly and unwilling to talk to anyone.
Not this time. We got a mail-order crib, based on the recommendations in the Baby Bargains book I mentioned earlier. We got the "All-American" crib and changing table/chest o' drawers. I put it together in less than 30 minutes.
Now we're just waiting for the little guy who's going to be sleeping there.

After my husband had the nursery painted, and the crib was up and the linens were all washed and ready...I would sit in the rocker for hours...bored mostly...but just thinking about how much our lives were going to change! Now it feels like our lives didn't start until we had our son!
Hey Mark
Did you test out the crib to make sure my great-nephew will be safe?? Not that I doubt your ablility to put something together but you can't be to careful.
