Months ago, Amy selected a wonderful crib. It was selected for the turned posts that match the diaper changing table. Hmm... Anyway, it's also important to know that the floor unit was the only one of this style remaining in the store, so off it goes loaded into Momma Deb and Bob's truck. That's right the whole crib!
Last week, Momma Deb and Bob come up for Amy's birthday and brought the crib in Tetnus, the 1970-something Chevorlet Sierra truck that has been through two engines. I feared all along that the crib wouldn't fit through our 1952 door frames to the nursery. Well... My theory was proven true.
The result is worse than most crib assembling stories that I have heard. By the way, EVERY single man I have talked to about the crib have their own story. Not only did I have to put the crib together without instructions, but I had to take it apart, then put it back together. Go figure!
Well, that's not the end of our comedy. Once we got the crib placed in the room, we have officially determined that our expected floorplan for the room was not going to work. In addition to the crib, we have a changing table, bookcase, and expect to include a glider-rocker and dresser. As mentioned, we learned a lot once the placed the crib in the room, and it was that the dresser will not fit.
Oh well, I guess it's good news that baby clothes don't hang too far down on a closet rod. We'll just put some storage in the closet.
