Just in Time

The nursery is finished! 

This post is basically going to be a ton of pictures. Maybe now that I've uploaded all of the pictures that I've taken, I'll get around to doing smaller posts on some of the DIY projects. For now, this will have to do.  

My due date is officially 2 weeks and 2 days away, so we're definitely getting really close. I'm so glad to have everything in order in her nursery :) Without further ado, let's begin the barrage of pictures. 

This is the view from the doorway. I finally finished the alphabet wall, the baby quilt, and the book slings that are hanging under the window.

My aunt made the mobile that's hanging above the crib. I had pinned something similar on my pinterest board and she ran with it. I love it.

I made two book slings that can each hold five or six books. I hung them using command hooks because my husband didn't want to put a zillion holes in the wall. The package says that each hook holds 7 pounds. They've been hanging for a few weeks now and we haven't had any issues. The hooks are hidden by the curtain panel, so we don't have to see the mess.

We got our glider from Buy Buy Baby. It's the Savvy glider by Little Castle and it comes with the ottoman. I took the advice of a few mom's and made sure we had a comfy ottoman and a little table next to the chair to put a glass of water while I'm feeding the baby. I have plans for the big frame above the glider, but they involve the baby's initials so I'm going to wait on that. Her name is still a secret... best job we've ever done at keeping a secret :)

I just picked up the lamp from Target yesterday. The jury is still out. It was only $10, so I'm considering spray painting it. Thoughts?

We've had the crib for a while now. We ordered it online from Walmart. I used hem tape to make the crib skirt, and with my mom's help, I made the quilt.

The dresser, like the crib, is from Walmart. I'm so happy with the look of it, especially at the price.

Above the dresser/changing table, I hung a small photo frame gallery. I made most of the art, so the cost was pretty low.

This one just might be my favorite. It's probably the math geek in me.

I've filled up the built-ins that Bill made in the little nook. I'm not quite settled on the placement of everything yet. I'm sure this is something that will evolve as the baby grows and we see what we need to put there.

Its a small-ish room, so I think it is about as full as its going to get. I'm sure any parent reading this is laughing since you know how much stuff we're going to accumulate in the next few months.

I can't wait for the baby to arrive. The doctor's told me that I will not deliver after my due date because I have gestational diabetes... I guess that's the perk of pricking myself four times a day for the past four months!

One week of work left and two weeks until baby! I hope you enjoyed the tour :)

Thanks for reading,
Kathleen
