I'm still here...

sort of.  I've been everywhere but on the computer for the month of September.  For once, I would label myself a procrastinator.  I have been going out of my mind getting ready for this baby!  That's what happens when I put EVERYTHING off until September thinking it would be easier because the kids would be back in school.  It's been much easier running errands with out them, but I've just about put myself into labor running all over town every day or nesting like crazy in my house.  I had my 38 week appointment on Tuesday.  I am 100% effaced and dilated to a 1.  The head is down and ready.  He told me to schedule an appointment for next week, but he didn't think I would  make it.  My due date isn't until October 13th, so that is early for me.  Not too early, but I've never been that early before.  We'll see what happens.  I've probably jinxed myself now and I'll be pregnant forever!

The babies room is pretty much done and ready to go.  We finished it a couple of weeks ago, but I was waiting for some extra things to come in the mail.   Some of you have been waiting so patiently for pictures...you know who you are :)  So here you go! 

This is the view of the room as you walk in the door.  We are still working on a rocking chair that is going to go in front of the window.  I also want to make some type of mobile to hang from the ceiling above the crib.  She needs something to look at besides a ceiling fan! 

     

Here are some up close views of the details.  I loved these baskets.  It makes the bookshelf look so clean.

Her bedding

Vinyl lettering

 

I guess the name is out now!    Hopefully it suits her when she's born and we don't want to change it!

I loved these green and white polka dotted mats.  I plan to put some black and white newborn pictures of her in them. 

Fun drawer pulls can make a HUGE difference!  I couldn't get a great picture of them, but they are big beaded flowers.  They match the beads on the lamp perfectly... not planned, but a pleasant surprise.  :)

That's it!  Now we just need a baby to go in this room.  I'll keep you posted!
