I was worried that the room was not going to be finished because the wall was looking like this picture about two weeks ago and we did not have a floor in the room either. I had already begun painting, so I was not too worried about that part being done. We decided on yellow paint since we do not know the baby's gender. Rob may have rather had orange, but we both think the yellow turned out well.
Now we have everything in place. The crib with the jungle quilt, sheets and bumper pads, the changing table and a dresser full of clothes (as well as some in the closet). We would have preferred a farm themed nursery, but the crib set for that was more expensive and online only, so we settled for the jungle stuff, which is cute too. I bought the curtain from Wal-Mart and the color matches the jungle crib set better than I thought it would. My mom helped me pick it out and she had never even seen the crib bedding.
And all of this happened in my 38th week. At my doctor's appointment this week I found out the baby is not in the head down position, which is disappointing, but it does still have time to flip. Monday we have an ultrasound to determine the baby's exact position as well as approximate way. I have my fingers crossed that everything is going to be okay and that the baby will flip. Not much longer now and we will have a little Lorelei or Thomas in our arms. We are excited and nervous, but we are as ready as we can be.
I love the nursery and you look so good. Can't wait to come and see you and hold the baby!
ReplyDeleteso exciting!!! Cant wait to see pictures!
ReplyDeletey'all are good at fixing things up! You two should invest in a 'fixer upper' one day - you'd get a great deal and still get a gorgeous house in the end. (I always thought that sounded like fun - except I wouldn't want to have to live in it while fixing it up...and I don't know how to do any of that!)
ReplyDeleteHope the baby gets head down quickly...
Oh, when I had the twins, their room wasn't set up until 1 week before they were born! (My brothers were still living in it until then.) And they didn't get a dresser until the night before I was induced. Talk about last minute...!
