Amelia's Big Girl Room and the New Nursery

As we begin to prepare for our newest member of the family, it was time to organize the rooming situation.  We have a 3 bedroom house and Martin and I both felt that the baby needed her own room at least until she gets old enough to sleep in a regular bed.  This meant we had to move Amelia's crib and "baby" furniture into the new baby's room and upgrade Amelia's room to "Big Girl" status.  I loved this!  We bought her a new twin bed and some new furniture.  And Martin spent a whole weekend painting her room a beautiful raspberry pink!  Our goal was to make it very special for Amelia so she wouldn't feel as if we were taking something from her to give to the baby.  So we moved Amelia temporarily into the baby's room while we made the upgrades.  Then we did a great unveiling (I'll post to YouTube soon).  She walked in and said "Wow!".  She loved that it is her favorite color and she got a new "big girl" bed.  I'm still in the process of decorating it and putting some finishing touches on the wall, but here is a cute photo of her in her new room.

Super Cheese!
