We have a crib in our home!

Yesterday at noon the crib was delivered.

It was heavy (160 lbs) so we asked the driver to leave it in the alley and we brought it up in pieces.

But it was really easy to put together. I did it as John was working.

It took only 12 screws and it was assembled.

Ta da! Placed this way we can see baby in bed and vice versa.

Based on seeing the crib in this room I came up with a new plan for clothes storage yesterday. A somewhat crafty project which at this point I'm not sure will work at this point. Our plan is try to keep the room decor minimal. This was recommended in our IAC (int'l adoption center) that we took at CCHMC (Cin. Children's Hospital Medical Center). Dr. Joy said when a kid has lived in an institution like an orphanage they can become easily over stimulated from too many things. I remember Dr. Joy saying many kids who lived in orphanages for awhile find mobiles really disturbing.

One of the 3 boxes delivered.

This crib was made in another country where I would like to adopt a child.
