The Baby Furniture is Put Together!






























Well, this is SUPPOSED to be just the preliminary video shot of where we are on the baby room so far. I think the blogger website is down or something b/c it is taking forever to upload the video. I'll try again tomorrow. Sorry. (ok update, forget the stinkin' video, here are some pics.)

We spent most of the afternoon putting together the crib (not too bad), the changing table (horrible beast), and the toy chest (relatively easy). I also brought in the bookshelf I got from a garage sale (and painted), a 3 drawer dresser & nightstand given to me by a friend (painted that too), and a couple of floor rugs. It's late at night, so everything in the room in the video looks "yellowish" instead of the actual colors...but you'll at least get the idea.

We totally scored on our video camera. It's a long story, but Sears had it on closeout b/c someone stole the battery off of the floor model. So they knocked down the price from $600 to $240, just because of that! WHAT?? We were all over it. We only had to buy a $60 battery to replace the stolen one. I am trying to figure out what good thing I have done in the world to deserve such a sweet deal on my camcorder. We've been looking at them for months, and this one is newer Sony Model that stores all the files on a hard drive (doesn't need tapes or dvd discs). Love it! Though I am still trying to figure out some of the features it has. But it will be great to video the baby with and put them online for y'all to see.

SWEET deal on the camera! Congratulations on that one. I can't wait to see the baby room. I bet it is going to be amazing! I just laugh at the difference between your baby room and both of my kids. We had hand me down crib, ghetto room...nothing matches. Baby Jones has the Rolls-Royce of the room!

Ha! Well baby jones doesn't realize that most of the furniture I scored for free or for $10 and painted it. Heh heh. But thanks to dad and mom, I have a cute crib and toy chest. And thanks to Roob's job, I bought a cute changing table. We have been planning on remodeling that room for quite some time, so baby jones was the perfect excuse to redo the floor, paint the walls, and get some new baseboards. I am very happy with it. :)
