Our Next Project

Today UPS brought us Amelia's crib. Exciting! Now we get the joy of trying to put this thing together. I've never been fond of assembling furniture, but this one is going to come with a little added pressure.  I am sure the recommended assembly time will be about an hour, but I will spend no less than 3 hours making sure everything is up to code.  Our baby is going to be sleeping in there, we need to make sure it is put together right.  The last thing we need is an injury, or an early example of my inadequacy as a father.

In the next couple of days Amanda and I are going to have to put on some nice relaxing music and gather up all our patience and love for one another and knock this sucker out.  Hopefully it won't be too bad.  However, our patio set almost came to fisticuffs earlier this year.  That table and chairs was nothing compared to what we are going to face with this crib. I am expecting the worst, so our actual experience can only be more positive than what I'm imagining.

Now we have the crib, bookshelf, car seat, stroller, bumbo seat, and quite a few clothes.  The room is painted.  I'd say we have a pretty good head-start on things.  We can't relax. We still have a bunch of stuff to do/buy/prepare and I'm sure the time is gonna fly by.
