the nursery

We've made some significant progress.  We try to tackle one thing each weekend on our to-do list that gives us a sense of accomplishment, like we're moving forward rather than just treading water.  Strange how the list keeps getting longer.  Alas.  This past weekend, it was nursery furniture.  We purchased 2 cribs and a dresser, all assembly required.

 Here we are at the beginning stages of the dresser, the cribs are in the boxes against the wall.

Ta-da!!  Dresser/changing table complete.  We were quite proud of ourselves.  Partly for getting the thing together without drawing any blood or smashing any toes and no extra pieces.  And partly for not ending up with one of us throwing a monkey wrench and storming out of the room.  Maybe there is something to almost 8 years of marriage...

Now we just need to start looking into childbirthing, feeding, rearing classes, hospital tours, interviewing night nannies, investigating childcare options, figuring out whether/where to do a babymoon [fade out]...
