Nursery Progress

Junior painted the nursery last weekend and moved all the furniture in place. We still have to buy a side table and a toy box, but those are both small, easy things. The curtain panels arrived today! They're about 12 inches too short, so my project this weekend is adding some solid material to the bottoms. The crib skirt should arrive any day now (I was really hoping for today, but no luck). I may need to lengthen that just a bit, too, but I'll do that with the same material I add to the curtain panels. I'm having a hard time visualizing the crib skirt, so I hope I like it.

We're looking on Etsy for a wall decal to place over the crib, and we'll add wooden letters to spell out his name above the dresser. We have a few other items for wall decor already, and we're tossing around ideas for the remaining space.

I couldn't be happier with how the room is turning out. I find myself wandering in there several times a day and just looking at everything and daydreaming.

On another note, and to state the obvious, there are less than 15 weeks until my due date. I am seeing the weeks fly by on the calendar. Next up on our to-do list is to register for childbirth and safety/CPR classes (OMG, this baby actually has to come out!). When I called the hospital's learning center for information at the beginning of June, I was encouraged to start taking those classes in August. Sure, the end of August seemed so far away at the time, but it hit me this morning that the session starts in one month. Wow.

And, the baby is the size of a rutabaga. And now I'm off to Google rutabagas, because while I've heard of them, I don't really know what they are or how big they are.
