Dairy Barn Preparations: Part II
The Dairy Barn, though not quite open for business, is coming along nicely. Stephen and I painted the room Wednesday and Thursday of last week, and since then I've finally managed to put everything from the baby shower that belongs in the nursery away. (Car seat, car seat accessories, and feeding gear are still strewn all over the downstairs, but I'm sure they'll find homes soon enough, too.)
As you can see, the room is still basically empty, with the exception of the cats, the bookcase, and the television, which is temporarily sitting on a filing cabinet that doesn't belong in the room. The closet, on the other hand, is filled to the brim with baby clothes, diaper bags, changing supplies, and health care items. Our crib, which was an extremely generous gift from Angie and her mom, has been purchased and is waiting at the store for us to pick it up - we just have to con Stephen's parents into letting us borrow their van and maybe his dad's assistance, since the crib weighs slightly over 100 lbs. and is very bulky. Hopefully within the next few days we'll be able to pick it up and assemble it - it's killing me knowing it's sitting at the store instead of in Baby Neener's room. I'm so damn happy and relieved - my baby won't be sleeping in a drawer after all!
We still need to get a rocker, a small media stand for the tv, a dresser (the one we picked out for our registry is long so it can double as a changing table), curtains, and some wall accessories. Oh, and a breast pump. After all, we can't very well call it the Dairy Barn if there's no milk pumping devices. I am hoping we can manage to get most, if not all, of these items before we get our baby.
Stay tuned for more (*yawn*) exciting updates...

Very pretty color Kim!!
I really love that color, Kim. Nice choice!
It looks like your other three kids approve of the room!
That room looks huge! I think the color looks really nice, and will go perfectly with the blanket that mom is knitting. Nice painting job.
