Baby number three nursery?

With four weeks(ish) until baby will arrive we are working diligently on making some space for baby. How cute is this?


Not my closet...The walk-in closet in our room is totally big enough to convert into an adorable nursery like this, but here is what I would like to know, where do these people keep their stuff???  I mean, I have clothes and shoes, Bryce has clothes and shoes, and with a big closet we also store bags and hats and other random stuff that needs a place to be stored.  I can't just dump all that out in the living room to have an adorable nursery.  Don't worry, I KNOW that babies give zero care's about an adorable nursery and they do not in fact come out demanding dessert colored walls (Juno anyone?).  But as mom's we have to nest and who doesn't love adorable baby stuff? 

Since kids one and two are not ready nor willing to make the move down 15 steps to a new bedroom of their very own (while this post may make our house seem incredibly small we actually have four bedrooms, but nobody wants to move downstairs...), they will stay in the current adorable nursery that was painted and decorated for number one (seriously click on that and go see the cute room we had ready for him) and updated to fit number 2:
There was also a twin bed added in here for Dietrich at the time.  

But baby number three, well, there just isn't room for number three in the room yet.  He/she will certainly be moving in to that same crib but not until we have bunk beds done for the other two and there is room for the crib.  So in the meantime...


 We have added bins to our closet for baby stuff:

 The three drawer rubber maid also holds baby stuff, both diaper pails fit in the closet, and one of the drawers in the dresser is open and ready for baby clothes once we know boy or girl:
 The vanity in our bedroom makes a great changing table...
And Bryce is currently working on building a co-sleeper that will attach to our bed and be baby's bed for the next few months/years.  So there you go, that's how "real people" fit a baby in a closet and while it may not be super cute, there is no theme, and it's a bit crowded, I'm pretty sure baby will  never know (except I just documented it here so know that we love you even if you didn't get your own room). For the record, my parents did not have a home the first year of my life and were essentially gypsies traveling around living with family members and in a camper.  Clearly, I was still loved, despite not having a nursery.  We have been making so many "Baby number three" jokes around here that we are starting to worry about giving the poor kid a complex!
