Today, we got a crib (Thanks Tim & Irene!). It's great because baby bear is starting to get a little too big for her bassinet. When I go to pick her up when she wakes, I find her head up against the edge of the basket. With her legs in her hip harness they end up hitting the sides of the bassinet, almost. So needless to say, she's outgrown her first bed.
The crib is great...it's absolutely beautiful...it's just that I didn't realize how big it would be. Or perhaps, I didn't realize how small the space is. So I came up with a solution: We need to rearrange our furniture. Well, if we're not going to be moving just yet, then we need to find a way to fit our child into our small spaces.
Upon meeting me, you probably wouldn't get that I am detailed-oriented, and I'm usually not, unless I really get into a project. I'm really into rearranging. So to start I drew up a layout of our apartment on the computer. Then I measured all the rooms, all the furniture, and I drew in each object. Keeping in mind that I want to make sure everything fits, I put it to scale. Each half inch represents a foot. I color-coded each object. I labelled each object. Then I moved all the representative furniture around and figured out a suitable layout.
In the end, padawanlee just laughed at me. I guess it is a little silly, but I wanted to make sure everything fit...makes sense, right?

I like the duel meaning of crib..it refers to Carissa's crib but it also refers to your crib a la MTV.
I'm gonna have to give you a standing ovation for this... whoa and wow.
