We've been pacing ourselves over the past few months getting Fischer's room ready, and we've thoroughly enjoyed spending time together doing that. Here are some stills of the progress...
Upon finding out that Jess was pregnant, my parents wasted no time in helping get the room ready.
Even Maebe wanted to help.
We assembled...
We painted...
And we got silly in the process.
And finally, this afternoon, we finished.
The crib...
Interior view...
The bookshelf, fully equipped with some of our favorite books that we hope Fischer will enjoy equally (i.e. The Bible, The Stinky Cheese Man, The Gas We Pass, Where The Wild Things Are, etc.)...
Bookends my grandmother gave us.
The changing table...
A cute giraffe painting (in keeping the theme of the room) painted by my mom's friend Lori Flood.
The rocking corner. It works on two levels: first there's a rocking chair in the corner...
...and secondly, we hung a really cool kid-friendly gig poster. Our friends Ryan and Ashleigh Lucas hung one of The Decemberists in their daughter's room, and we loved the idea so much that we decided to find one for Fischer's room. Wilco loves our baby.
Guess who else loves our baby... our Maebe. It's been really fun watching her through the whole process. It's evident that she knows something is about to happen; every time we go in Fischer's room Maebe runs in and lays on the floor. It's really cute. We're excited for her to have a little brother. This is a typical seen in Fischer's room.
So, save for a few minor things, like picking the birth song and finishing clearing out the closet, we're all set. Oh, and we need the baby :)
