Her Space

We only have a 2 bedroom apartment, one room Casen is occupying and the other is ours.  We tried to figure out in the beginning where exactly we were going to put Arya.  After talking about it we realized we're going to be packing up and moving when she's only 2 months old.  I know most people decorate a great nursery and have big plans for baby, but in reality, for the first 2 months, baby ends up sleeping with you, in a swing, in a bassinet...anything that you can get them to sleep in :p  With all that in mind, we decided until we move we'd just put her in our room with her pack n play.  It's a little tight, but there's no way we're moving to a bigger apartment when we'll be moving across the country in April and I don't want her in Casen's room waking him up all night and ending up with a cranky 2 year old on top of a newborn during the day.

So, for now, here's her little space...nothing grand, but enough to get us by until we pack it all up and head to the east coast.


Her bear Casen made at build-a-bear and her little doll Mac got her for Christmas :)

I got these bins at the 99 cent store (i'm really going to miss that store when we move) to hold all her clothes for now since we have this old bookcase that wasn't really being used.  It works perfect for now.

Now we just have to get her swing set up, which is a portable one, so it will probably get moved around the house and then get settled next to the bookcase at night.  Casen lived in his the first 6 months of his life.


Now I just have to work on my hospital bags!

SO cute!!! The perfect little space :) Also, make sure to get an outline of her hand print when she is born so I can update your cross stitch ASAP!

What a perfect space!! All of my babies have never had nurseries. They all had sweet little corners of my bedroom (Nathan is still occupying a corner of my bedroom). It is great!

I will Liz :) I love it!

April, I think parents love the idea of a nursery more then it ever actually gets used, so i'm content with her little corner for now :)
