We are now under 50 days until the expected arrival of “Baby N”!
So far we have:
- Prepared a room
- Found and reconditioned baby furniture
- Ordered and assembled a new crib
- Decorated the room, complete with large hand made initials
- packed enough clothes into the room that I suspect “Baby N” will never wear the same outfit twice until well after age 2
- Performed extensive tune-up maintenance on our designated baby hauling vehicle.
What could be left you ask?
A photography studio! Not to fear though, pintrest has guided us to a whole host of ideas to build one right here in our living room!
As you can kind of see, the design is fairly simple. Just some 2×4 stands over some hardwood flooring, a piece of nice wide trim and a fabric backdrop and you have your very own mock room!
We found the flooring (Real bamboo!) at the local Habitat for Humanity “restore.” We were looking for, and found, a partial box of flooring to use, rather than having to pick up an entire case of something. We also found some scrap wood with neat texture to it that may end up in the background if we manage to get it cleaned up a little before it gets too cold.
Now, you may also be wondering, why this was all setup in our living room? Well because Heather had a friend with a two-week old baby who was willing to let her take some pictures. Sadly I forgot to clear it with Heather and the mom so… just to be on the safe side I will avoid posting anything from their session except to say I think you can look forward to some very nice pictures of our daughter in the near future!
