New Crib

Here are photos of the crib before and after:


And this is our Noah bear enjoying his new crib and toys:

The view from below:


As I've mentioned before, we got the crib from a twin's sale held at daddy's old middle school. The price: less than $100. The crib is not new, a 2001 model, and was used before but it was in great shape and is quite sturdy, so getting it for that price was a nice bargain.
It took us about 30 minutes to assemble it. Hubby held it up while I screwed in the screws. A Sunday well spent.

The extras pictured (mobile, toy satchel, wall decor, etc.) were all from Abang Tommy. It suited our own colors quite well (Noah currently shares our room because we are all out rooms here).
Having his crib all set up and seeing him play and sleep in there makes it all more real that he is our baby and we are now parents.

I still have to put up the rest of the wall decorations, there are 3 more stars that needs to be hanged with its friends. So the layout is not entirely done yet. We are also looking for a dresser in a complimentary color for his clothing and extra blankies. K-mart or Target perhaps? Or craigslist.org for a used one?

This upcoming weekend will be winter cleaning time. We'll be scouring the house for unneeded stuff to put into public storage, which we hope will be open on Saturday, so our house will be more easy for the eyes. Right now it's a complete shipwreck with baby stuff strewn all over the place. I don't even know where to begin to clean it at this point because there's really nowhere to store anything.

Hopefully we'll find a bigger place soon. Insya Allah. Our little bear needs room to grow hehe
