Classic Baby Bed . . .

I appreciate so much all the kind words I received on Monday's post. Your thoughts & prayers are certainly helping me. Thank you friends.

This past Sunday afternoon we put together Bobby's baby bed. When we took it out of attic we were very pleased how well it had survived years of storage. How old does something have to be in order to earn the title 'antique'? I guess this baby bed would be considered a 'classic' since it's 28 years old. Bobby & his cousin, Kara, who is 6 years younger, were the only 2 babies to use the crib.

The bed is a Simmons. It is very sturdy.

I think the style is called Jenny Lind.

Kari, Bobby, & Bob are checking out how to raise & lower the sides.


The guys are working hard.

The tall spindles were part of the canopy that we used for Bobby. 28 years ago you had to wait until delivery day to find out the sex of your baby. All the bedding & canopy was yellow gingham,very gender neutral.

Since the kids know they're having a boy they won't be using the canopy. They picked out a really cute design of bedding at Target. Now all we have to do is buy a mattress & the crib will be complete.

Don't forget to sign up for my giveaway.

You can find it on Saturday's post.
