I've put together the crib and new changing table but still waiting for the old changing table to get picked up and for my friend to come in to add to the mural on the wall... I'm trying to pace myself since I have time to do all this and I want to leave it for latter... AKA trying not to go through all my baby clothes this early cause I know I will just rewash and fold and hang them in 2 months XD
@charhar0820 I came across this little blankie and instantly thought of your room! Thought it could be a cute touch to tie the the rug up into the crib setup. <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/kj/6tkrqoghb2k9.jpg">

@psychobutthead They have the perfect one for you, too! <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/ug/2xlz73sb0wbu.jpg"> <div class="Spoiler">https://smile.amazon.com/Hudson-Baby-Blanket-Snuggly-Unicorn/dp/B07NFC6YML/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=hudson%2Bbaby%2Bblankie%2Bwith%2Btoy&qid=1589026387&sr=8-1&th=1&psc=1
ETA sorry, the links don't seem to be directing to the right version of each blankie 🤷</div>
@BusinessWife I checked out their page on amazon! I love their stuff, so sweet! I couldn’t find the blanket tho. I realized I’m sucker for anything with a cutesy fox print though.. so I ordered this a while ago, which matches the charcoal sheets I got along with the Kushie sheets that are ivory with a dark grey XO pattern.
I can’t wait to pull it all together to add finishing details.
I noticed shipping prices have gone up like crazy, shipping costs from Hudson Baby to Canada is $30 😭. I also paid close to $20 to ship a dress and kimono. Ugh.
Yes amazon ships to Canada 😂 certain shops/sellers all roll with the $35+ and shipping is free. Others that don’t have that option (not exactly sure why?) have their own estimated shipping costs. When I click on a link that is amazon USA it directs it to my app and asks me to switch countries. So, some things that are available to you in America may not be easily available to me in Canada even though it’s being sold by the same shop! So it won’t show up on my Canadian app, I copied the link to my browser and had it work that way. Here’s what I see when it comes to shipping.
@BusinessWife@charhar0820 Oh man, don’t even get me started on Amazon Canada vs Amazon US We have SO much less selection on the Canadian site and the prices are usually much higher. Ugh. We go down to California once or twice a year and order a bunch of stuff off the US site to my parents’ place!
Now that I **think** I have adjusted to working virtually while having both kids home on top of schooling a first grader - I am back. Whilst not losing my mind the past few weeks, I have been working diligently to get the nursery ready. Mainly because I do not want to have to work on it when the weather FINALLY turns nice in Michigan. Almost everything is ready to go. Just need to hang the mobile, mirror and add a few plants. The Moses basket just arrived today - so I am super excited about that. I thought it would be challenging decorating a nursery as we are Team Green but it was actually a ton of fun!
@Mommy2Boys87 How lovely! I love that change table 😍.
So far we’ve painted, built the crib and laid out the rug! We have yet to organize furniture to find the best functional way to have things! (MH and I can’t agree on where things go, really lol) I just kind of have things placed here so I can get a visual ☺️
@BusinessWife omg I love that! the penguins are so cute! actually when I was first dating DH penguins where are thing. our first couples christmas ornament was of penguins.

@Mommy2Boys87 I love it! I am using similar animal prints for my gender neutral nursery too - we went with woodland ones but same idea.
I am seriously slacking... as in, I’ve done nothing but order the animal prints for the wall. I’ve been so exhausted being home with my 2 young kids full time and working on the weekends that I don’t even know where I’d find time to paint?! The room we’ll use as a nursery is currently set up as a guest room with a queen size bed and a closet full of junk so we have our work cut out for us. I just don’t have the motivation to get started. Also we are (potentially - spending on the pandemic situation) having my sister, BIL and two nephews coming to stay at the beginning of August (I’m due the 31st) so we have been debating whether to leave it as a guest room until the last minute. Realistically though, I think we’ll have to get it set up as a nursery before then so it’s good to go when we need it for baby. I don’t imagine we’ll have MORE time than we do now, when this baby arrives, so it’ll only get harder to get stuff done. My sis and BIL can sleep in the first room in the basement and we’ll figure out a place for the boys to sleep, if they can all even come.
@laur84ns I asked my MIL to help with painting and I set a date so it kind of forced me to get it done. I just kept telling myself that the closer the date gets, the less likely I will want to get it done. It was a battle though!

@mommy2Boys87 Your room is so calming and sophisticated. Where did you get the rug?
