Yesterday Grandma came over and me and her and Dad popped Amelia into her Baby Bjorn and took a trip to Ikea. (Mom didn'[t have a lot of time yesterday for hair or make up, or to lose 20 lbs, so this is what we are dealing with right now)... but doesn't baby look SO CUTE??? She slept the entire time!
We had a fun afternoon. Ended up spending more money than we planned, and Dad wound up spending more time putting stuff together and hanging up safely in the nursery than he planned, but this morning it all paid off, because Amelia has the coolest room ever now.
We'll start with the gate. Since Stifler has been marking his territory there he has been banished. I understand his jealousy, but Amelia and I enjoy tummy time in her room and do not appreciate the smell of jealous dog pee. So we got her rug properly cleaned and sanitized, and dad installed a gate that opens like a door so we don't have to step over it.
Then he hung some shelves to give her teddy bears more room to play.
He got mom a night stand to put her pump on and with drawers for her to keep her photo book materials to work on while she's pumping or has any down time. (Can't forget the pink knobs).
He also installed our internet camera so we can monitor her while (if) she sleeps in her crib. It's pretty awesome, you can even watch her from his Android phone and my iPhone. AND he hid the cords in the wall so it's not an eye sore.
Wonder how long it will be before she makes us remove the camera from her room? I really hope she doesn't grow up too fast, because look at all these cute tiny things mom gets to dress her up in now!! (All stored in the new drawer organizers we picked up at Ikea)
OK that's enough about her nursery. I promise the next post will be all about the SWEETNESS that is Amelia!!
