Making Room for Baby

The crib arrived yesterday and I managed to put it together, along with a dresser and a glider chair. Of course, I ended up putting the sides of the crib on backwards the first time around, which probably wouldn't have been a big deal, except that all the warning stickers would have been on the outside of the crib instead of on the inside. But by the second try, I had it all figured out. I did a lot of research on crib mattresses and I drove 45 minutes to a specialty store over the weekend in a snowstorm to pick up a mattress that was recommended, but when I got it home I didn't like it and drove all the way back the next day to return it. What a waste of time. I picked up another recommended mattress at another store, but now I'm not sure it fits the crib as well as it should, so I may end up exchanging that one, too. Hopefully, the 3rd time's the charm! I also finally decided on crib bedding and decor after exchanging another set. So Leah's little room is finally starting to take shape. Talk about waiting until the last minute...

In a video flashback, here's one of the very first videos we received of teeny, tiny Leah Jin-Ri at 6 months, right after she received our first care package. She's wearing one of the outfits we sent, and she's showing off her new creeping skills. She looks so determined!
