(Her new bed, gotta love our cat making herself at home)Well we hit a big milestone over the weekend. Sunday we took apart izzy's toddler bed/crib and put up her twin! I am so excited yet so sad at the same time. It is really starting to set in that we are done with babies, the crib is now in pieces in the basement along with all of our other baby stuff. I know I need to get rid of most of it, as it is taking up so much space but I haven't been able to yet. I know that we are not going to adopt again (unless for some crazy circumstance the Bm came to us and said she was pg and wanted us to take it) so I know that we are 99.9% sure we are done..and I really do feel blessed adn mostly complete with izzy...it just does make me a little sad.
On a happy note her bed is so cute! We put the bedspread and sheets from our neice that she no longer uses and I must say I LOVE IT! So bright and fun. We still need to repaint the walls (purple and green) and replace the carpet eventually. Izzy's grandma (my mil) is actually working on a new quilt for the bed...she loves to quilt and I felt bad not letting her make one even though the pottery barn teen one on the bed now is so cute (it does have some stains that wont come out and it is super thin) So grandma is giong to make a custom one with flowers and butterflies..and regular quilt blogs. I don't know exactly what it will look like but I know it will be more traditional than the one on her bed now which is pretty modern but I know izzy will like whatever she makes. She is also going to make it as a duvet so I can put a down comforter in it.
Izzy has been goign to bed and sleeping just fine in her new bed, she even napped yesterday in it without much of a fight. We got her a new step stool to help her get in her bed since it is so tall. She loves climbing in and out herself and reading stories in it before we go to bed. She doesn't even ask to be rocked anymore since we read stories in her bed. Stories are done we kiss her and say goodnight!
My baby is growing up, I am so proud of her

Congrats Izzy on the new big girl bed!!!! I do like the pretty comforter that is on the bed now and my daughter would love it too:) It is so hard when they transition into the next phase. My son is still in a todder bed and I am not ready for him to be in a big boy bed but I know it is right around the corner. I too am like you and it is so so hard to think of getting rid of the baby stuff. I am still hoping and praying for another baby. However our storage space in our basement is overwhelmed because I hadn't gotten rid of anything baby related. Until just recently I did put quite a bit of toys and my some of my sons baby clothes into a consignment sale and made over $500!!!!! WOO-HOO:) However I couldn't bare to part with any of my daughters baby stuff (older stuff 2t/3t I could) and maybe because little girls stuff is just so darn cute. Anyhoo I am rambling on. Looking forward to seeing the quilt your mil is working on:)
I remember when we first moved MG into her big girl bed (we skipped the toddler bed) and she looked so small..... and I cried.
I too have been avoiding letting go of the baby stuff even though I'm on the same page as you with having another (or not). I don't want to go back to mid-night feedings and poopy diapers but still, it's so hard to let go.
