This afternoon I finally took some time to build some of our “baby stuff”. We ARE going to have a baby sometime in the next month-ish, so I figured I might as well get a headstart on building the stuff for Baby Sheets!
First up – the stroller!
the “before” shot – lot’s of pieces
ta-da!
Next – the baby’s crib (a freebie from the Walls family in our church)
No instructions, no one to tell me what this should look like when it’s put together…
making progress… then Jess says, “Will that fit through the door to the baby’s room when it’s finished?”
…
that’s a “no” to whether it will fit through the door or not… Now I have to take what I’ve already put together apart and move my work-area to the baby’s room
a couple picture-views on the internet showed me that I was in-fact putting this bad-boy together correctly!
the finished product!
Finally, the baby’s swing:
pile ‘o pieces
project: COMPLETE
I feel like an accomplished father-to-be! Seriously, though, the crib nearly crippled my ability to function as a “civilized” man. I had nearly given up on putting the thing together when I found a bag of hardware that I had forgotten belonged with the crib! It’s amazing what four “mattress frame hangers” can do for building a crib!
Today is a good day!
Wow! You did all of that in one afternoon? You will soon find out that the baby’s things will take over the house. But it is all so worth it.
You failed to mention time lapse w/your photos!! You did good. “That was easy”
One month and counting!!
