Nursery Reveal

Most parents get to plan for months about how they want their nursery to look.  They buy a blanket here, decoration there, maybe paint, buy a crib and then a month later the changing table.  We quickly realized after visiting all the baby stores in Singapore that we were not going to have that luxury.  None of the furniture we could find was at all what I was hoping for and it was twice as expensive.  We knew that our company would provide an air shipment so I immediately began planning down to the inch and pound what I could get to fit in that box.  Since we would be home for Christmas, we asked them to pick up all of our things from Derek's parents house right before we left so we could make sure everything fit and if need be, decide what didn't make the cut.  Fortunately every thing fit and then some!

Three weeks after we flew back in Singapore, our air shipment arrived.  It was like Christmas all over again!  We could not wait to open up the boxes and get all the furniture put together.  Our helper was also excited and quickly got to work washing and folding all the new clothes and bedding.  In one weekend, we finished the nursery.  It is a little plain as we haven't painted (and won't since this is a rental) or put anything on the walls.  I have a few ideas to jazz up the walls but we will see if I get to it before the baby is born.

I am really happy with the way it turned out and cannot wait to bring little Caroline home to it!
