With the upcoming arrival of our next baby, we decided to finally move our son out of his crib.  This comes a bit late to most people but honestly he loves his crib.  He never tries to climb out and is quite content if we kept him in there.  But with the arrival of our next one, we thought we’d get some good use out of the crib and get our almost 3 year old a bed.

After hours of research, I opted for bunk beds.  A full bed on the bottom and a twin bed on top.  We went and looked at a few beds, and i ended up getting the Cadillac of beds.  There is one tiny problem.  In our two bedroom house, the kids will be sharing a room-and that room is SMALL.   So before the new bed we had a crib, a full length dresser, a glider and a change table in the room. Now, we have the bunk beds and the crib. 

I guess we don’t need a chair in there or the change table, but I mean the dresser is kind of essential.  So in stages, my husband took a picture, and this is step 12 out of 92 completed:

Now imagine solid wood furniture and imagine lifting one bed on top of the other.  OMG was it heavy!  Most furniture weighs next to nothing but not this sucker.    So just as my husband has finished the building, 6 hours later, we’re almost ready to show our son his new bed.  Here’s hoping!

Here’s the finished product!

Stay tuned for tales of the first night!
