Belle's Nursery

Being third time parents we now know things that we wished we'd known the first time around. Like that spending a ridiculous amount on bedding for a crib was just a waste or that the nursery does not have to be ready to go months in advance (or in our case, months after baby comes home), and simple is always better.

Since Belle sleeps in a bassinet in our room we had not done anything with her room. The crib had been up since February but it was full of stuffed animals, her clothes were in there but so were a lot of other things. While Sean was gone on a training exercise I decided it was time to make it Belle's room, not a storage room!

Belle's most awesome Godmother made this decoration for my Sip & See shower she threw in Belle's and my honor. I thought it would be perfect to display in her nursery. (Now all I need is to get Sean to take down the one strip of sport wallpaper at the top and it will be perfect!)

This quilt is another wonderful gift from Belle's Godmother. She does the most amazing quilting! I love love love it and I know it will be treasured for a long time to come!

Everything else is hand-me-downs from big sister! I am in love with the breathable bumper, we didn't have one for Logan so once we had to remove the pretty, decorative one for safety we often found him with limbs stuck hanging out of the crib. With the breathable bumper it is safe to leave on once they start rolling and it stops them from getting stuck.

And despite the lack of expense spent on her room, Belle loves it (and so does mommy)! It's amazing how much you learn with multiple children that you don't need to spend a lot to have a lot!
