More progress with the babies' room

First, Beth took a picture of me as I went out to shovel snow (the first of several times) during our 24” snowfall this past weekend:

The previous pictures we’ve put online of the nursery didn’t include some additions from the past week or so.  We added the changing table yesterday evening (but the top piece was busted!!! – the manufacturer is sending us a new piece).

It might be hard to see in the pictures, but we are EXTREMELY delighted that the color of the changing table matches almost perfectly with the cribs.  The side table by the chair and the dresser don’t match – we’ll probably hold off on that for a little while.

We love our glider and decided to put a second one back on our registry (we started with two, ordered one and decided to just do one but get a rocker/recliner… after a few weeks, we love it and want to put one in the living room).

We still have to get the closet cleaned out and take care of a lot of small details (bins for on the changing table, organizers for the closet, storage for their stuff in the bathroom, etc), but we love that everything is going smoothly.  We have been spending time (both together and on our own) in the room – there have been several nights we’ve sat in there for hours working on stuff, reading, or just talking.  The cats are getting comfortable (though they are suspicious and don’t understand why we’re getting new things that aren’t for them) with being in the room and the new things that come with it.

We also got the mattresses yesterday – Jack figured out today that he can now jump in the cribs (without them, the springs that support the mattress would have been a painful trap for the cats).  I’ve caught him (in mid air) as he tried to jump in a couple times.  We bought a pink and green sheet (blue would have been tooooo much with the blue carpet) for the mattresses.
