Hello friends and welcome to today's video where I'm going to be giving you a nursery tour.
00:00:30.000
I have been waiting so long to give you guys this tour and I cannot wait to show you everything.
00:00:37.200
We spent such a long time deciding what we wanted in this room, putting it all together,
00:00:42.160
and the thing to keep in mind is that we are not going to be in this house all that long before we move.
00:00:49.540
So this is all temporary, which is why it might feel slightly temporary when you look at it because we didn't build a crib,
00:00:56.960
we don't have a dresser, we're using a pack and play, so we have a bunch of baskets for clothes and stuff like that
00:01:02.660
and we're using a pack and play for the bassinet and for the changing table.
00:01:06.100
But we don't have that crib that you know you imagine when you think about a nursery.
00:01:12.780
But I'm really excited to share the room with you because it's really cute.
00:01:17.780
So we're going to do this vlog style, I'm going to walk around, I'm going to point things out,
00:01:21.660
I'm going to explain the history of how this room came together, and let's get into it.
00:01:26.960
I forgot to mention, before we start, if you're not already subscribed to my channel,

00:01:47.240
Okay, so the first thing you will notice is when we walk into this room, it is woodland themed.
00:01:56.340
Jacob and I both love woodland animals, and we just thought this would be so much fun for our baby.
00:02:06.620
Now, when I close the door, you can see we've got a little sign that says blessed.
00:02:11.640
This used to be above our bed, but I thought it would be really cute in the nursery.
00:02:16.820
Now, on this wall, you can see we have a quilt hanging, and I actually ordered this for the crib initially.
00:02:23.780
It was like a set of sheets and a little bed skirt and this quilt, but you can't actually use a quilt around a baby when they're sleeping.
00:02:33.320
So we decided to turn it into a wall hanging, and my mom was amazing.
00:02:37.280
She put a couple of hooks right on top there, and we were able to hang it, and it is so pretty.
00:02:46.040
I love that it's just a little bit more on the neutral side.
00:02:51.220
We don't like the bright reds and the bright greens and the bright blues.
00:02:54.160
We like things that are just a little bit more muted.
00:02:56.140
So we went with this, which I absolutely love, and when I pan down, you can see that we have just a little bear hamper, which is so cute, and it was really funny because for my baby shower, I actually got two of these.
00:03:11.380
So I'm using one for a hamper and one for a blanket basket, which you will see in a few minutes, and this is my little cart that I'm using to hold all of my stuff.
00:03:24.400
So I've got a humidifier here, and I've also got this little Easy Top Wipes dispenser.
00:03:34.540
I also have some butt paste there and the bum brush.
00:03:38.260
I was highly recommended both of those products.
00:03:40.700
I also have an Aquaphor cream that is currently in my hospital bag, so that'll be useful for baby, but it isn't here right now.
00:03:51.820
This is going to hold all of the breast pump parts, but those are currently being sterilized, so that is why they are not in there.
00:03:58.500
And then if we come all the way down here, this is the diaper caddy.
00:04:02.820
And again, some of the things have been removed because they're in my hospital bag, but we've got little burp cloths, some diapers, wipes, and the PPTVs, and waterproof changing pads for when we have to do night changes.
00:04:18.640
So this is like a really great caddy cart situation that we can use and have access to a lot of different things.
00:04:25.860
It rolls so I can bring it over to me when I need it.
00:04:29.460
If I sound out of breath, it's because I'm 37 weeks pregnant.
00:04:38.100
I think it's called the Mom's Two Breeze or Four Breeze.
00:04:41.720
I'm not totally sure what the name is, but it's like a different version of a pack and play.
00:04:48.700
So we are going to be using this for baby's naps.
00:04:52.280
We also have a bassinet in our bedroom, but that'll just be for nighttime.
00:04:56.820
And then this will be used for a changing table.
00:05:02.280
It's very, very thin to go on top of the bassinet so that the baby is just slightly more comfortable.
00:05:14.420
I've heard great things about the Diaper Genie, and I've heard it's very useful.
00:05:20.360
And we have a basket here, which kind of matches the other one.
00:05:26.560
A little bear basket to go with our woodland theme that has a bunch of blankets in it.
00:05:30.280
So we can grab blankets from there for a little man.
00:05:34.460
It's just an extra lamp that we had in our house.
00:05:38.260
And I figured it would be best in the nursery because we actually don't have any overhead lighting in here.
00:05:43.840
And we have these two pictures up on the wall, which we love.
00:05:48.880
So I actually found this one right here at Goodwill.
00:05:54.340
You can see I need to remove that tag in the left corner.
00:05:59.920
And Jacob loves bears, so I saw this and I was like, we have to have this for the nursery.
00:06:04.040
And of course, it was from Goodwill, so it wasn't expensive.
00:06:13.520
So I thought it would be really fun to have this in the nursery as well.
00:06:27.400
We had initially ordered something from Bye Bye Baby.
00:06:32.700
Like it wasn't even going to get here before the baby was born.
00:06:34.800
And I had ordered it back in November or December.
00:06:45.640
And it's covered in some of my favorite things.
00:06:47.520
So this quilt was actually gifted to us by my mother-in-law.
00:06:56.760
But I have it folded with the deer on the outside, which I love.
00:07:01.200
And then we've got this little bear, which she also got for us.
00:07:05.360
A highland cow and a little sheep, which we got when we were on a British Isles cruise.
00:07:15.160
So the boppy is a breastfeeding pillow that apparently really helps.
00:07:19.160
And I got this really cute cover, which I love.
00:07:21.240
Now, panning down here, we have this adorable guy.
00:07:40.940
I found this incredible side table at Goodwill.
00:07:49.940
I'm just, I've never seen something so unique and beautiful at Goodwill before.
00:08:09.900
That's in our bedroom for when the baby's sleeping at night.
00:08:12.700
And this little lamp, which was a bit of a splurge.
00:08:18.220
And I thought it brought so much character to the room.
00:08:23.980
And the little constellations are very, very cute.
00:08:28.640
But that's just, you know, for usefulness whenever I have a drink in here.
00:08:35.420
And within each drawer, we have just some stuff that's useful to us right now.
00:08:38.760
So these are some laundry bags, like mesh laundry bags to wash baby socks and things like that.
00:08:44.480
In here, we just have like a cleaned little thing for a pacifier.
00:08:49.840
And then I'm keeping all of the manuals down here.
00:08:53.160
Because I'm not sure I'm going to remember how all this stuff works.
00:08:58.140
Now, I forgot to introduce our little bear rug.
00:09:10.320
And I just really love it in the rest of the room.
00:09:14.300
This bear was a beautiful decor piece at my baby shower that was given to us.
00:09:22.240
Before I move on to the bookcase, which is kind of acting as a dresser for us, this is my diaper bag.
00:09:33.860
And it has his outfits and some things that we need.
00:09:38.560
I'm not going to open up the closet just because it's kind of a storage space more than anything.
00:09:43.860
It has some boxes and some things that we're not using quite yet.
00:09:47.500
So there is a closet in here, but it's not really for stuff that we're using currently.
00:09:55.420
You know, our carriers are in there and a couple of other things.
00:09:59.560
But it's not like stuff that you guys need to see.
00:10:10.740
And people wrote beautiful notes in here for us for the baby shower, which I love.
00:10:15.620
Every book we got is different, which is incredible.
00:10:19.040
This is actually my own set of Harry Potter books that I got while I was in my master's.
00:10:25.020
More appropriate in a child's room than an adult's room.
00:10:27.880
Up here we have my little Canon printer so that I can print pictures to put in the baby book.
00:10:33.340
And I just thought that would be more useful than me trying to remember to get things printed
00:10:38.120
and doing that like every six months as opposed to just doing it when I want to.
00:10:41.820
Now this is a bottle warmer, but I just thought that would be a good fit for it right now.
00:10:47.940
And these are just some albums that are of me and Jacob, of our relationship.
00:10:54.180
Coming down here, this basket is all of the newborn clothes as well as a couple of swaddles.
00:11:02.700
So this is just some little baby clothes wrapped up here.
00:11:06.140
This is the most relevant basket for the moment.
00:11:09.360
Then we've got this basket, this skinny little basket, which has baby socks, baby mittens, baby hats.
00:11:31.580
So we keep these clean and when the clean ones are in here, and then we also have some in the diaper caddy for when we need them.
00:11:44.200
If I pull this out, this is kind of things that we don't need on an everyday basis.
00:11:51.080
So it's got gripe water, we've got the nose Frida, we've got a thermometer, and a nail file.
00:12:01.980
These are sheets, extra sheets for the bassinet and for the pack and play.
00:12:11.760
But because it normally will go in my diaper bag, but my diaper bag is now packed for the hospital, I'm just keeping it there for the moment.
00:12:20.420
So towels, and we've got some soap back here, stuff like that.
00:12:25.600
And then this is going to have all of the sterilized bottles in it, but for the moment, those things are being sterilized.
00:12:38.580
Coming down here, we've got our little baskets for zero to three.
00:12:46.740
When the baby grows out of newborn, we will transfer this stuff into the big basket up here.
00:13:01.920
And this has sleepers for zero to three months.
00:13:05.660
And then we've got some extra stuff over there.
00:13:11.840
We have little bags for when I'm out and about and I need to change him so I can put his diapers in.
00:13:19.140
And then those are pacifier and bottle wipes if he drops something and I need to clean it quickly.
00:13:30.320
We have a Love Every box, which I'm excited to use with him.
00:13:36.380
And we have the heating pad, which we will use in the bassinet to help him kind of fall asleep easier.
00:13:43.040
It will go on first and then we will take it out and then we will put him in there.
00:13:46.160
But it just makes it warmer for him before we actually put him down.
