After much deliberation we've decided to hold off on switching Henry to a new room and bigger bed. My parents will be coming back to visit when the baby is due and they plan to stay for 3-4 weeks. Right now we don't have another space to put them in where they would be comfortable for that length of time. So, for now, we're keeping the guest room as a guest room, Henry will stay in the nursery and Baby Girl W will sleep in our room for the first 2-3 months (just like Henry did). We'll probably convert the crib to a toddler bed (which only means removing one side of the crib, and adding a bed rail), but for now it will stay in crib form. We're running out of time to prepare for the baby and not having to worry about creating a comfortable space for my parents to stay has taken a lot of stress and pressure off of the situation.
So, I decided to use most of the decorations that I had already purchased for Henry's new room to redo his current room. I could definitely add some extra touches here and there, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
He has a ton of stuffed animals (that he doesn't really play with), so I thought about displaying them in this corner because it is lacking "something". I thought about getting one of those mesh hammocks specifically for stuffed animals, but they aren't as easy to find as I thought they'd be.
I moved this shelf cube over by his bedroom door to keep his toys and books easily accessible. Before they were in a corner by his crib and it was difficult to reach all of the cubbies.
This corner is pretty much the same. Eventually we'll move the rocker out of his room since we'll need it for Baby Girl, but it's fine where it is right now.
This shelf was in the other corner, so it was moved to this corner and I think it works pretty well there (not that it's much of a difference from the other corner).
AND, take notice of his new chair that I ordered from Potterybarn Kids. He seemed pretty excited about it, but hasn't really used it much since. But let's face it...it is just a chair and doesn't really do anything like his trucks and tractors do! I think it's pretty nice, though!
