The Nursery

Now that we know we are a little further into the pregnancy, it's time for us to make some more solid decisions about the nursery. We have decided to keep the color of the room as it is - it's a cross between avocado and pea green. (Yes, we like our vegetables in this house!) The floor will remain wood just as the rest of the house is. We are debating about rugs and have narrowed it down to three options.

Option #1
Option #2
Option #3

As of today we are leaning towards option #3, but of course with Jeff and I that could change tomorrow.

If we work our way up from the floor the next thing we need to consider are some storage options. We already have a dresser that we like picked out from IKEA. It's just waiting for us to come and purchase it. We will dual purpose this dresser as a a changing station with an accompanying contoured pad. This way the dresser can grow with Baby.

Dresser

We may end up with a matching dresser that's a high boy as well. I think it all depends on how empty the room looks with just a rug in it.

We are going to leave you hanging on the crib. Dad Reece has costumed designed it and has already begun to build it. I'm certain that it will be able to withstand Hell and High Water given his construction techniques. When the crib is completed we will devote a whole blog to that!

Knowing how most babies like to be rocked, we do plan on a rocker for the room. Most of you know how obsessed Jeff is with Eames design. So, of course that's what we picked out.

Rocker

As far as decor is concerned we are going to keep it simple. We have selected a line of peel and stick vinyl wall graphics that we think are fun. There's also matching flash cards that would be simple to create a mobile from. Check them out...

Equals lots of fun!

Thanks for taking a tour of our soon to be nursery for Baby Rohlfing.

New Ultrasound 7-30-07

Check out our little peanut. It now has a face, hands and feet that you can see. How very exciting. It's heartbeat was about 160 bpm and everything is healthy.
