Progress

Though we hadn't anticipated having to prepare a room for Pea so soon after his birth, things are coming along rather nicely. We emptied the den of all things work and computer related, shoved a lot of stuff into the closet (there, I said it) and moved his crib and small dresser in. I found some lovely bedding for him and got it for such an amazing deal, that I wound up ordering some bedding for Chick as well (hers will be delivered some time this week).

A sneak peak at Pea's crib

Both babies have been sleeping in their respective rooms for all of two weeks now and K2 is back in the matrimonial bed.  While he misses sleeping near his baby girl, he is enjoying the comfort of a real bed. Chick is an amazing sleeper and seems to not only love her room, but her crib as well.  She sleeps there during nap time and throughout the night with ease.  Pea, on the other hand, is a bit of a challenge.  Things are getting better, but he still dislikes the crib something fierce.  We transitioned him from the bassinet to the crib by placing the bassinet in the crib for a few weeks, then by removing the bassinet and putting Pea in only the bassinet bedding inside the crib. 

We are discovering that parenthood is really all about strategy.  It's like learning to use the PeePee Tepee after being peed on a million times.  On a side note, for whom does the PeePee Tepee work?  We need more of a Pee Pee Six Man Tent and full rain gear in order to prevent the watershed that occurs in our house.  But I digress...

All this to say that Pea's room is coming together and will be as beautiful as his sister's room in no time.  I have ordered some personalized touches from Etsy and these will make both rooms as special as the babies who will sleep there for years to come.
