I've been seriously nesting! I'm 34 weeks and starting to realize that we're going to have a baby soon! We've had the kitchen/dining room/entry area and living room repainted. And we bought a new kitchen table and new living room furniture. Michael even approved an area rug! The house looks SO much better!
Since we're staying in our little condo, we'll have the baby in our room with us. The plan is to have him sleep in the bassinet attachment of a pack n play and store his clothes in bins on the two lower shelves of his changing table. So I bought two of the Fabler Groda frog prince wall pockets from Ikea and hacked one of them into a diaper stacker. I looked all over different blogs for diaper stacker tutorials and I found some cute ones. But this one from Shannon over at Sew Beautiful was my very favorite. (And it's not just because she has such an awesome name!) I love that she made it gender neutral and the pockets on the front are a really cool detail. It also has the biggest capacity for diaper storage of any of the other diaper stacker tutorials I came across.
I harvested as much of the green stripes and dots as I could from the original wall pockets. Even though the wall pockets are over 4 feet tall, they really aren't made of much fabric. So I supplemented with the white cotton center from one of our old bed skirts. Now that we have a platform bed, our bed skirts have no purpose. But, we definitely have a use for a diaper stacker. So, all the diaper changing accessories and baby utensils will go in wall pockets and diapers will go in the matching stacker. Next, I need to figure out a net hammock for all his stuffed toys! He already has tons and after the baby shower tomorrow, I'm sure he'll have even more.
I've already done two loads of baby laundry and all those bins in his changing table are full of clothes, bibs and blankies! What a lucky boy he is already!
