Nursery progress & surprises!

So we just got back from vacation last Monday and we all along had planned to start working on her nursery after the holidays. Well I'm not sure if it was coming home on a Monday or realizing that we only had eight weeks left give or take but I started to panic a little about all we had to do to get ready for her in the next couple of months! Especially because this coming weekend Andrew and I are going to a two day birthing class instead of doing the normal every week for six nights class. And then the weekend after that Andrew is running the Carlsbad half marathon and his family will be in town. So really it would be a few more weeks before we had a day to do anything. So we hit last weekend bound and determined to be productive:) We got the Christmas ornaments put away finally on Friday night. On Saturday morning our doula and friend Jenna came over to go over our birth plan with us and just chat which always feels great! Then we spent the rest of the day running errands! On Sunday we met some friends who are moving in a couple weeks for breakfast at Swamis and after breakfast stopped by this cute store called the Rustic Rooster. It is an adorable little beachy store right off the 101 and my friend Kelly suggested checking them out for cute nursery stuff. So we stopped in without any expectations except to maybe find a cute frame or something but instead we found a dresser for the nursery!! Andrew and I were really excited about getting her dresser since we felt like it was the one bigger thing that we were going to do for her. The one bigger thing but don't get me wrong we don't exactly have lots of money to spend on anything so we had mostly looked at ikea and walmart and target and couldn't find anything that wasn't inexpensive and quality. So anyway we found this adorable white dresser that was real wood and quality made, as in dove tailed drawers and all! :) I know it's the little things right! So Andrew planned to go up today to pick it up.

It was a totally beautiful weekend and felt like summer! I couldn't believe it was in the 80's and it is January!

So I knew he was going to pick up the dresser and then I came home to this:

Not only had he picked up the dresser but he also picked up a glider we saw on craigslist and the crib his cousin Heidi is giving to us!! The glider is used but it's nothing a little Sol-u-mel can't fix! It was like coming home from work to insta nursery!! I was speechless! I called him on my way home from work to see if he had heard back from the lady about the glider and he said someone else beat him to it! Sneaky little guy! Seriously when will I stop being so gullible!

Putting the crib together! I can't tell you how excited I am to have a crib in that room now! It feels like we are really starting to make progress! I will post more pictures as we get more done! We are expecting all our baby stuff from Oregon to arrive tomorrow!

Here is the dresser all set up!
