OFFICIAL NURSERY TOUR FOR OUR BABY BOY!

⚡️We check off a HUGE step on the long list of baby “to-do’s!” Our little baby’s nursery is finally complete! It was so fun putting this whole room together as we wanted to keep it minimal, baby friendly, and easy to transition to a toddler room when that time comes! As first time parents were not sure if we did this right… so you have to help us out! What are missing? What did we do right, and most importantly, where did we mess up? 😬

Thank you for coming on this ride with us as we are just weeks away from introducing baby Bates to his new room!

Hey guys, one word of advice from a mom of 3 and grandma of nine don't tiptoe around and be quiet when he gets here let him get used to noises he'll get used to it and won't wake up with every little noise he hears .The nursery looks beautiful 😍

Don’t forget to sign up for Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. She sends an age appropriate book once a month from birth to age 5. We signed my grandson up when he was born. He will be 5 in September and he has gotten a lot of really cool books.

have lots of sheets a mattress protector and white undershirts you will go thru a ton of them

[lenhardtalyssa]

The best practical piece of advice I was ever given was to make up your crib with a mattress protecter & the crib sheet AND THEN one more mattress protecter & crib sheet. That way, in the middle of the night, if you need to change bedding, all you have to do is take off the dirty ones & the crib is already re made 👍

A bassinet is very useful ...ie if baby stays in Mom and Dad's room. One that rolls from room to room...very helpful!

[grannynoraswihart]

You guys don’t need to have the mattress at that level until the child stands up. Put it on the highest notch for a newborn that way you’re not bending over and trying to get to the baby and it’s so much easier to have him that arms reach.

That quilt is beautiful. That baby is going to be so loved. Can’t wait to meet your little guy. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[MicheleMyles]

That is so pretty, Tiffany's great grandma did a beautiful job

[jankehoe]

Get plug covers for the outlets. Know he is going to have more clothes that you will be able to use they grow really fast! Get a baby tub for his early baths, and a changing table topper for the dresser was the best thing I had for all my kids!

[elizabethkoobs]

The highest level for the mattress is appropriate for a newborn. He won't be pulling up for months. I just love that precious quilt your grandma made!🩵🧸

[riseaboveyougotthis]

Baby monitors and sound machine is a great idea making a room feel as cozy as possible

[lilysterrett]

That quilt your grandma made is absolutely gorgeous and beautiful 😍 and I love 💗 the design and color!

[davyrantucci]

Mom of 9 here, it’s amazing how much babies do not need! But my number one thing is a baby carrier, especially a wrap. If you want to get things done, the wrap becomes your best friend but you have to start using it early. They will love it if you do.❤

[jaimemellesmoen]

A must have is the co sleeper . It attaches to your bed and the baby sleeps in that. When tiff needs to nurse in the middle of the night he will be right there and the side comes up for easy access.
Keep diapers and wipes in every room in the house and in your cart. Especially right next to dad’s side of the bed so Lawson can change before tiff feeds.
The last one is huge for me when my first born was just a baby. There was a fire in the complex we were at, and we had to get out quickly. Having that diaper bag completely packed with anything you could possibly need for the baby all the time, made it really easy for me to be able to grab it and not worry about her needs. At least she would have everything she needed for 24 hours.

[jessicaponticello]

Also when the baby sleeps you need to sleep everything else will wait! And invest in tons of sleepers and receiving blankets you will use them all! I had 2 whole drawers of blankets bc they spit up on them or they get dirty and you just switch them out ! Keep a little kaddy with diapers clothes wipe’ and one of those mats you can change the baby on bc it’s easier to just have it close so you don’t need to go to the changing table constantly lol

[jackiebrown]

The nursery is ADORABLE! A couple pieces of advice: Somehow bolt the dresser to the floor and/or wall so that when Baby Boy Bates begins standing up and holding onto things if he has hold of the dresser or dresser drawer it won't topple over on him. Also, tie blind strings WAY up where he can't reach them and accidentally get caught in them or pull the blinds down on him. You guys have done a GREAT job! Excited for you and sending God's blessings.

[tlynn]

The quilt is GORGEOUS!!! Tiffany is looking great!

[frugalfoodfamily]

Get some battery powered pop lights that you can easily hit on by your bed, changing table, etc so you can keep the lights low at night. Room looks amazing!

[jaimemellesmoen]

You can put a pad in the middle under the sheet, then do a 2nd and 3rd layer for easy crib change in the middle of the night
