The furniture has arrived and it is now in Hayden's room, ready to be used! Yippee! I have waited two months for this day! As I mentioned in an earlier post, we bought the furniture a few months ago and had to wait several weeks waiting on all the pieces to arrive so we only would have to make one trip to pick it up. I opted out of the home delivery; why would I pay $200 for someone to bring it to my house when I have a truck, a trailer, and a very strong husband and brother? No thank you. We will pick it up ourselves! Which is exactly what we did. We woke up last Saturday with baby furniture on the brain. Will and I were singing about it before we even got out of bed. We came up with a pretty good jingle, if Baby's First Furniture ever needed us for a commercial. You would've thought it was Christmas!
We arrived at the warehouse, picked up the furniture, and was back home without incident. Baby's First warehouse people were very nice, efficient, and had some great tips for Will since he would be putting the crib together. I was really pleased with how we were treated there. Grant met us at our house and helped Will carry all the furniture upstairs to Hayden's room. I was so grateful for his help. I know Will could've done it alone, but it was so much easier with Grant there. One thing about quality furniture-- it's heavy. Very heavy. They were both grunting away. Plus, there's the stairs to navigate, and the sharp right turn into her room. So Grant really helped everything go very smoothly. Will wasted no time ripping all the boxes and getting the dresser and hutch into place. He was so excited! He did the crib last, and was so cute about it. He was very meticulous with every turn of the allen wrench. I think that's a big moment in a man's life; putting his first child's crib together. I just sat in the rocking chair and watched him do it. But when I thought of what a moment this must be for him, I grabbed my camera to catch it on film. It was very sweet. Here are a few pictures of the furniture, and Will and the crib. I'll post more pictures of the nursery once it's complete. We still have a ways to go, decorating wise, but it shouldn't be too long!
Looking a little stressed, haha
Working up a sweat
Got it figured out now!
Oh yeah, I got it!
Almost there!
Ta-da!

Making sure those screws are tight!
What am I supposed to do again?
Oh yeah, I got it!
