Before's & After's of J Jr's room

Here's an old dresser of Jared's we've had since we got married. (I only got the drawers in this picture but you get the idea.)





And here it is now!


I didn't get a before of the closet but Jared tore it out & built a new one with the dresser in it.

We experimented doing this wall & it turned out pretty cute.

We had Megan & my mom help us with the wall which was GREAT!!
The finished product.

The crib arrived early & Jared was pretty excited to put it together at first, until it started getting late.



We put the bedding in & I knew the bumpers needed a bit less cushion to open up space on the mattress & to not be a suffocation hazard. So......



We found some foam & cut it to size & made the perfect size bumpers.



I can't believe it's done, other than decorations. About 2 1/2 months before we put this room to good use.

1. From the back you don't even look pregnant. jealous.
2. Thos bugs are disgusting. It took me 2 minutes to even figure out what I was looking at.
3. Please make sure spiders that big stay in Santaquin.
4. Can't wait to see the baby room in person. Hint. Hint. Hint.

The nursery is soooo adorable. You guys did a great job. The crib and bedding are so cute. I'm so happy for you. I thought the last couple of months went by fast...but everyone thinks differently. Hopefully you are getting good sleep at night. That was the time it started getting really uncomfortable.
P.S. What kind of spider was that? So creepy.

Your nursery is absolutely adorable... I want to live in it! Nice work on refurbishing the dresser and I love the crib and bedding and the grid wall. What a great idea. Heather you look awesome and I am still grossed out by those spiders. I have that creepy crawly feeling all over my body right now.

The time I went to Yellowstone with you was the first time I'd ever been there, and I always think about that trip every time I go to Yellowstone, or even see a buffalo now! That was a fun trip. I loved traveling when I was younger, you didn't have any thing to worry about. The parents took care of everything.
