Moving Day!

Last night was moving day!! Dennard and his two brothers, Duane and Drew, moved our nursery furniture up from the garage to Little Sweets room-finally :-)

I've been waiting for this day for months-literally! lol

We bought our crib set back in March and have had it stored, still in boxes, in our garage since. We didn't want to move the furniture up into the room until the walls were painted, ceiling light and closet organizer installed and when we found an area rug. Now that all of the above have been completed, it was time to bring the furniture up!! Hurray :)

I was so excited. I was so anxious to get home to watch the 'moving process' begin.
And let me tell you...it was quite the process indeed! lol
The dresser came fully assembled in the box, so it weighed a ton as you can imagine. Solid wood, three drawers and one side cupboard. It was a beast! lol

Thank goodness that both of his brothers could come to help becasue just two of them wouldn't have cut it.

Unfortunately, I wasn't much help. My job was to direct them up the stairs and tell them when to lift higher, where to watch the wall, when to turn the corner, etc.

If any of you really know me, I am not one to just sit back and watch things happen; I like to help out-lol. It killed me to not be able to do anything to assist with the move other than "ok guys....get ready to turn right!" or "watch the wall at the top of the stairs".

The whole experience was a humorous one. Dennard was cracking jokes the entire time which made the move a slower and harder one. With every comment and joke, the dresser became heavier and heavier as the guys tired their best not to drop the dresser in the laughter.

 Once the dresser was brought upstairs and put into place, it was time to unwrap and bring up the parts for the crib. I stayed upstairs and took the wrap off the dresser and admired our baby's first new piece of furniture. I was so proud! I pictured all the tiny sleepers neatly folded in the drawers, the onesis lined up in a row, etc. I pictured myself in the PM opening the drawers to grab my little ones pjs, etc. So many wonderful thoughts flooded my mind at the site of the new dresser-lol.

Tomorrow the crib will be assembled and all will be pretty much complete in the room; with the exception of the finishing touches.

Tonight after work I snuck into Little Sweet's room and sat in the rocking chair and looked around the room. It was a surreal feeling. A feeling of "is this really happening?"  "am I really going to be bringing a baby into this room?" "after all these years of talking about one day having a baby, am I really having one?!". lol

As you can tell, I think a lot! My thoughts and ponders were abruptly interrupted by the sound of "squeak....squeak....squeak". One of the bolts in the back of my rocking chair wasn't tightened properly and my rocking was loosening it! lol I was quickly brought back to 'reality'.

Here are a few shots of the 'move' from yesterday. Don't ask why Dennard is wearing his hood..lol...his brothers and I asked the same thing! lol He got a big kick out of wearing it; he thought it was funny!
