Aviva has her own room

Currently, Aviva sleeps in a nifty Pack N' Play in our room, but in a few weeks she'll graduate to sleeping in her own room. Therefore, we had to actually get her room together so that she'd have a place to call her own.

We started putting the room together about a month before she arrived, but there were always a few more things to do. While there are still a few tiny things still left (ahem Jeff I really want a shelf in the closet!!) and one more decoration to go up (Melissa is going to paint her Hebrew name for us!), for the most part I'm ready to call the nursery ready to go.

This weekend, Meghan and Mike were kind enough to come help us put together the crib, which was the last piece of the puzzle. Thank you to Auntie Devvie for sending us the crib! And thank you to Kelli for the mattress, and everyone else who sent us fabulous pieces to get this room looking amazing.

AND! Thank you to all the friends that helped us put it all together. Melissa, Jon, Michael, Angela and Julie helped us with the tree decal, Karen provided us with the base for the chair, Meghan and Mike helped with the crib and Anni provided us with the gorgeous growth chart and the pictures on the wall. Oh, and Laura will be bringing us the rug as soon as she makes it up to Chicago for a visit (rumor has it this Thursday!) Thank you all!!

Here are some pics!

The changing station! And also the tree decal. You'll also notice a lovely picture of Wrigley Field. We have to make sure she goes the right sports direction early on.

Here is Aviva's bookshelf, and the three beautiful pictures above it are Anni Betts originals!

Close up of the prints!

The crib is finally together! Aviva will sleep in it one day.
