Nursery's Ready!


The nursery has actually been ready for a little while now but I didn’t get around to taking any pictures of it until recently.  After the baby shower, I completed my baby registry to get all the things we’ll need for the baby and finished organizing everything.  I also got three storage bins from Target that are under the crib to keep the extra blankets, sheets, diapers, wipes, toys, etc.  I used the Babyganics dish and bottle soap to wash all the baby toys and pacifiers and anything it might put in its mouth.  I also cleared out a kitchen cabinet for the baby food making supplies and bottles, plus the one can of emergency formula just in case there’s any problem with breastfeeding.  We have a month’s supply of diapers and wipes.  I got the Storkcraft Turin 3 piece nursery set from Target that included a crib, dresser and changing table.  The only problem was that while putting together the dresser some of the wood split while we were drilling the bits in.  I guess that just happens when you get cheap furniture.  I wanted to do the baby’s room in turtles because I wanted to do something gender neutral and I really love turtles.  Although technically it is gender neutral I guess it looks like it may be geared slightly more toward a boy.  I got the CoCaLo Turtle Reef 9 piece crib bedding set plus the wall art hangings and decal stickers.  The set came with a sheet, crib skirt, quilt, 3 fabric wall hangings, diaper stacker, crib bumper and window valance (I didn’t end up using the valance).  It was actually a little pricey for what you get but oh so cute.  I actually think the line has been discontinued by the manufacturer so maybe that’s why it was on the pricier side.  They have a bunch of other stuff that they sell separately as part of the line like a lamp, crib mobile, hamper, rug, pillow, night light cover, etc. but I didn’t need all that.  I actually didn’t like the crib mobile that was part of the set so I got the NoJo Little Bedding Ocean Dreams mobile off Amazon instead.  I think it matches perfectly and is so much cuter and so much cheaper.
