its here! its here!

so yesterday was furniture delivery day! and its gorgeous!

i couldn't really remember what all it was going to look like, we looked at so many sets that day. in fact, when i called to actually order it, the set i wanted was sold out. so this was the second choice, although it was the set we liked best (price played an issue in having it ranked second.)

the delivery people were supposed to be there between 10am and 1pm. no problem, yeah, they would wake brandt up, but it was his day off, so he doesn't normally sleep all day anyways.


here's the nightstand! i was shocked to see it, b/c i was under the impression that we ordered the small, 3-drawer dresser. i guess that's what happens when you order over the phone. but its cute, and more practical in the long run. i double checked with the paperwork, and yup, it says i ordered the nightstand. i'm ok with that though.


the crib! (different angles make the paint color look different. for example, the rug is totally not the same color as the wall, in person at least) it's a convertible crib, so when the baby is more of a toddler, we can take the front piece off, and lower the mattress, and its a kiddy day bed! theres a side rail too, to keep the kiddo from rolling out and onto the floor. and maybe to keep bealges out... we'll see. and then when the baby/kiddo outgrows the daybed, it converts into a full sized bed! the back and front pieces of the crib become the headboard/footboard (footboard... is that the right word?) and we have the rails to use for the sides of the bed. all we need to get is a mattress!

around 1pm i got a call from the delivery guys saying that they left us the wrong mattress. so they came and picked it up and swapped it out. ours was nicer, so i'm glad they caught that! (its double sided? one side is firm, for crib/baby, and the other is more comfy, for daybed/toddler. fancy, i know... this kid is spoiled already!) and of course, that meant waking brandt up again :(

and now this is the dresser/hutch/changing table!
the hutch actually didn't get loaded on the truck, so the guys had to make a third trip to our house. they said between 6 and 7pm. (which really ended up being 9:40! i didn't care, its not like we were going to use it all tonight, but the delivery guys wouldn't take any payment until we had it all. the warehouse is in stafford, so thats well over an hour drive.) its dark in the pic, but it has 3 dresser drawers, and small drawer on the right, and then a cabinet under that. the hutch actually has another shelf that goes in it, but you aren't supposed to have it in if you are using it as a changing table too. so for now, it will be put in the closet, with all the bed rails.

so next up is moving the rocking chair back into the room. (not hard, but its blocked into a corner in the other room, and i can't lift it) and then to paint my mural! yay!
