OPERATION NURSERY:PHASE 1

This weekend we were FINALLY able to take advantage of the fact that B's roommate has moved out and got to work on the nursery.

This involved:
Carrying a number of large flat-packed boxes of furniture down a flight of stairs from my apartment.
Driving those items across town.
Carrying those items up two flights of stairs to B's apartment.
Cleaning every surface in the soon to be nursery.
Vacuuming and steam cleaning the carpets in the nursery.
Assembling the furniture.
Moving a number of baby related items into the nursery.
Full body aches and pains.

The very good news is that this is all done. Phase 2 will be complete next weekend when the dresser and side table we bought arrive, and Phase 3 will be finished when we get all of the assorted decorative stuff one. Phase 4 involves a baby moving into that room, so I think the longer we have for that, the better.

So far it's very nice and homey, and I think it will be a welcoming place for our bundle of joy. I hope.

I should also add that the electricity for that room has mysteriously stopped working, and that whatever breaker controls it does not reside within this apartment. All of this work, and we cannot wait to move. That's irony, right?
