"Papa-Papa-Papa-Archie!"

Justin sang the above mentioned phrase "Papa Archie" to the tune of Lady Gaga's "Paparazzi" as he put together Jack's crib night before last (10/18/12). I have to admit, it was pretty funny. Not as funny as watching the faces he was making as he huffed and puffed with all the heavy lifting.

Things got tricky there for a moment as he tried to balance the springs on the car seat base while he screwed the springs into the crib. Just for the record, I offered to help...SEVERAL times. But "Papa Archie" wasn't hearing any of it. :)

At long last (well, really only 20 minutes) the crib was assembled. I have to say that a nursery looks like a nursery once the crib is up even if there isn't much else going on. I am so in love with Pottery Barn after purchasing the nursery furniture. The instructions were easy to follow, the crib was assembled in 20 minutes, it only took 12 screws (sometimes less is more), and it is gorgeous and super sturdy.

So is the rest of the furniture. The dresser/changing table arrived yesterday and plenty of other gifts and goodies keep rolling in.

Aunt Tara and Aunt Britt had the sham embroidered and sent the cutest fabric boat basket.

And last, but not least, let's take a look at the dining room, shall we?

Yes, this is ALL for Jack. This collection of baby paraphernalia continues down the hallway. He is such a loved baby and he isn't even here yet. :) But he will be soon. Only 5 weeks and 2 days left but I keep telling Justin I think Jack will be early or maybe that is just wishful thinking since sometimes I feel like I'm going to deliver this baby with every step. We'll have to wait and see!
