Nesting

With Stacy on spring break, we took advantage of some extra free time to start getting the nursery ready. Our first task was emptying out the room, which had become quite the catch-all, and giving it a thorough cleaning (Thanks, Sue, for doing the carpets!). Once that was out of the way, we were ready for the fun part - setting up the room!

Sue and Joe generously bought us a sweet convertible crib and it arrived late last week. We were anxious to put it together to begin filling up the empty room.

We've developed a pretty good system where Stacy exhaustively reads the directions and Eric does exactly as Stacy tells him to. And that system doesn't just work for building things ;)

It started to take shape pretty quickly.

Eric, embracing his new responsibilities as a father, made sure all the screws and bolts were safely tightened.

It's hard to believe that in just 11 short weeks, there will be a baby sleeping in that crib!
