dan and i worked for months before donovan arrived to create a room for donovan. we set everything up just so. got his crib ready with a precious bumper, dust ruffle and sheets. we put an apple tree decal on the wall and put pictures of donovan's family on the wall. i got all his clothes ready and supplies put in all of his bins, and placed a lamp on the table next to our new glider for late night feedings. i did not take a picture of the room pre-donovan because i just thought it was silly since he was not even here yet, and i knew we would take plenty of pictures there.
just the other day i realized i had never taken a picture of the precious space we had created and it will never be the same. it is in constant shambles with clothes he has grown out of laying about. i got scared when he was not swaddled anymore and pulled his bumper out and
when we lowered his crib out came the dust ruffle. the glider was moved into our bedroom within the first few days of being home from the hospital, and now it sits in our den. i have never used the table with the lamp because we are only in his room long enough to get him from his crib or to throw something in the floor. we have all the clothes that he can wear now in our bedroom since it is downstairs and easier to get to. the pack-and-play is still up in our bedroom just in case we need it, and our never ending diaper stash also takes up real estate in
our bedroom. for all of you sticklers out there judging my bedroom and nursery, no that picture is not to show the cord trailing across the floor of the nursery as a baby hazard, it is instead to show the quilt that donovan's gigi made him.
i remember having a vision of what life might be like and how things need to be organized....and man was i off. and so enjoy the pictures of our nursery.
