For starters, I unpacked all of the gifts received from Baby Shower #1 - including organizing her closet. I hung up her clothes - organized by size (not by color, unlike my own closet) and began putting items in the dresser drawers.

| Wall of Diapers! |
Not all of Gwen's gifts could be hung and tucked away - a handful needed to be unpacked and put together...all of which were not easy to be assembled, but after a break in the middle, we accomplished them all!

| Rocking Sleeper |

| Bouncer |
 |
| Car Seat & Stroller - personalized with her pink poodle! |
 |
| Pack 'N Play |
After completely finishing the organization, I sat down to write out the "To Do List" of items yet to be completed. I kept thinking to myself that this list was miles long. Turns out, I need to give myself more credit - the list was a whopping four items long!
1. Touch-up the paint on the dresser.
2. Paint and hang the shelf for Gwen's room.
3. Purchase nightstand next to recliner.
4. Repaint the closet wall (where we outlined a bird, that we decided against painting).
(And, I'm happy to say - as of this evening, this list is already down to 3! We purchased the nightstand at Garden Ridge - which needs to be put together and will be placed next to the recliner, holding the lamp she received from Motsy.)
The pictures below are pre-Baby Shower gifts, but I couldn't help but share images of my favorite room in the house! As I'm starting to place items where they "belong", I still catch myself sitting in her room imagining what it will be like to have her here.
As I mentioned earlier, this is by-far my new favorite room in the house - and I love the warm feeling it already carries. :)
