Starting to Organize Mason's Room

I finally decided to tackle little man's room today. All traces of Xmas had been removed from the room so I could get going. I spent at least 4-5 hours going through all the stuff we have, rearranging a little, reorganizing the closet and removing all the non-baby items from the room. Mark popped up periodically to assist with setting up the change table and pulling tags off of all the clothes and accessories.

Here is the mess during reorg...

The puppies had to check things out.

I sure do have to say a HUGE thank-you to the Gustavsons for without them and the deals of Kijiji, I would have very little for Mason already. It is sure amazing how much I have accumulated over the last 10 years. Right now, the laundry pile reaches halfway up the wall of his room! I will buy baby laundry detergent tomorrow and get started washing all the textiles.

I also hung a few items on the walls like three little puppies that I had on my wall as a baby and a little cloth growth chart. Mom's cross stitch will stay on the wall for Mason too. I have other lovely things too including a framed giraffe from Sue and 3 animals pics from Michele.

Nadine gave me so many toys I was able to fill our new bin stand! I am so grateful!!!! I also found a baby book so I can start filling in details for the little one.

Our shopping will be a minimum, we have only a few large purchases to go- a crib, a glider, a monitor and a breast pump. Other than that-diapers, vitamin D drops and all the smaller items will be purchased closer to his arrival.
