Overview
Episode 103 – Stellar Beginning
Alex and Aaron’s date nights included late nights on the lawn of an observatory. Caring little for gender stereotypes, our couple has chosen a celestial-themed nursery for their daughter. They challenged the Baby Makes 3 team to create the right tone for a baby girl. Today we begin our nursery with backlit cloud-inspired ceiling trim, build a sensory wall for baby, and use a local muralist to help create a star growth chart.
Episode 104 – Grandparent Daycare
We start our work in this episode at the home of our grandparents-to-be. Our work-from-home mom is going to need their help, and we’ll convert granddad’s office into a shared day nursery space. At the home of our parents-to-be, we build a moon-themed wall bookshelf, add a star ceiling, and show parents how to create a time capsule for their newborn.
