Nursery Update

Happy March!! The weather in KY this weekend has been fantastic (expected high of 62 degrees today!) which makes me hope that it is not too much longer until spring is on the way. The coming of March is further significant to me because it means baby girl will be here the month after next!! As I'm typing this, I'm 31 weeks and a day to be exact so we only have about 9 weeks to go. With that being said, we have had A LOT of activity going on with the nursery the past few weeks and I wanted to post a few (okay, several!) pictures to show you our progress. The furniture is all in, the window treatments are up, and the overhead light fixture has been switched out. Please keep in mind that it is not yet complete and is a work in progress - there are still pictures to be hung, shelves to be filled, etc. So with that being said, here's a peek at our daughter's nursery......

These first few pictures are of the alcove in the room where the glider and ottoman, as well as side table, are set up. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the glider and ottoman - it's pretty but more importantly it is so comfy, which is a good thing because I expect that I will be spending many nights in this thing. The gorgeous window treatments and table skirt were made by my incredibly talented mother (with the help of my father on the table skirt!) with the fabric I had picked out. Please excuse the number of photographs, but I have to show off my mom's handiwork:






The next couple of photographs are of the crib, which unfortunately only has a fitted sheet on it at this juncture. I'm having the crib bumper and bedskirt made so I'm still waiting on the finished product and hope to have it in a couple of weeks. There are also some pictures of the other window in the room next to the crib:





Finally, here's a picture of the dresser/hutch on the wall opposite from the window alcove:


So that's the status of our work on the nursery thus far...I know, I know, it's pretty girly, but what do you expect, she's a girl! (Or at least that is what 2 ultrasounds have indicated). I'll be sure to post some pictures of the finished product once it is complete.
