The Big Girl Room and Bed

We wanted to transition Madeline into her new room well in advance of the arrival of the new baby. Since, you know, that's what the books say to do so that she doesn't feel displaced. Makes sense. It really took a village! Josh worked hard on painting the room, Auntie Julie and family donated the adorable furniture (so grateful for that!), Brian donated his truck and Mary and Collin went and picked up the furniture and delivered it to our house. Oh, and helped us get a mattress the next day! We are so lucky to have such supportive and generous family and friends. I think the results were pretty good!!!

Almost a full view of the room, there's a really cute desk and bookshelf that isn't pictured. Ignore the blue tape, the trim still needs some touching up!



First time seeing her room!

It's a hit! We've since put bed rails on and she has been doing great in her new room and bed!

We found time to celebrate Uncle Matt's birthday that weekend as well, replete with Cookie Puss of course!

Oh MY GOSH!! That is the same room stuff and decorations that are in Ellie's room in our new house! HOW FUNNY! Ellie has that same mural and bedspread and everything! Same paint color, even. Check out the pictures of our house (April 14th) to see the pictures. I can't believe it!
