I totally caved.




We knew right from the start that this adoption would take considerably longer than Athena's did. Our agency was very up-front with us about this from the start. Because of the long wait, I decided I didn't want to do anything to set up the nursery until we actually got the phone call. Who wants to look at an empty nursery for 3 years?
Well, opportunity has knocked and I couldn't resist:) What do you get when you start with one free hand-me down dresser from a friend (thank you Stacia:), a few bucks worth of paint and new pull knobs, and a couple of hours of sweat equity in the form of sanding and painting? A beautiful new dresser/diaper changing table! I unpacked the changing pad & also the lamp that matches our nursery decor to see how it all looks together. Look at how great it turned out!

We went ahead and pulled out the tall dresser from the guest bedroom and put the 'new' nursery one in it's place:) It's the first step we've taken in changing the guest bedroom into the nursery. Athena loves it and has moved her bathroom step stool into there & has changed her dolls diapers on it about a hundred times already.

Hope everyone else is having a great holiday weekend also!
