Making Room for Baby!

Adding a boy to the family has already proven to be a big task around here!!  With 3 of our 4 upstairs rooms decked out in girl stuff, we had a lot of work to do to create a room that could be painted blue!  I wanted to make sure I got pictures of the girls' rooms, and especially Elizabeth's nursery, before I rearranged the entire upstairs.  Unfortunately, Cline had dismantled most of Elizabeth's nursery before I realized that I didn't have a single picture of it.  He was a great sport about it, though, when I asked him to put it back together to get pictures of it.  Hee hee.  I will completely own that "crazy mom moment" on my part, but in my defense, it only took him about 10 minutes (if that) to put the furniture back in the room the way it was!

 Christa and Abby Kate have been sleeping in the same room for some time!  That made it fairly easy to divide Christa's big girl furniture between their room and Elizabeth's room for E to grow into.  A simple addition of a closet bar and a second dresser gave me just the right amount of space to keep all of their clothes neat and organzied!

 And, the re-created girl nursery - totally worth this picture :)

 The wall hangings were LaLa's dress, bonnet, and booties from when she was a baby!  Cline's grandmother is a very organized person who does a great job keeping these keepsakes in great condition for us to enjoy!

And the crib!  We're in no hurry to move Elizabeth out of the crib, since she is a great sleeper, and asks to go to bed sometimes!  She has a big girl bed in there now, though, when she's ready, and a new (to her) girly dresser, since we took the baby furniture for the baby.  After this simple re-arranging, we were ready to paint the nursery blue!  I'll post pictures of it, once it's all put together.
