Nesting...I always wondered precisely when this whole "nesting" phase would start. Well, I have learned a few things in the last couple of weeks: 1) Nesting starts earlier than I expected, 2) It is real and COMPLETELY out of my control, and 3) Kevin's "honey-do" list gets longer by the day! Yes, I am anal retentive anyway (hence, the alphabetized spices and dvds, color coded closet, and I'll stop there before you think I'm totally insane!), but the last couple of weeks, I have felt totally out of my element. A million things to do and no time to do them.
So instead of continuing to panic, I took Friday off and oh, how thankful I am for that! The house is clean, George has been to the vet and much to his horror had all the necessary yearly shots, the carpets have been cleaned, Sophie's room got touched up and the trim repainted (that one Kevin helped with)! It was a VERY productive Friday :)
So with all of that accomplished, Saturday was THE DAY! Even as tired as I was from Friday, I was so excited Saturday morning to know that the nursery furniture was coming...I've only been waiting for several weeks now :) And, for the record ~ I am aware that patience is not my strongest characteristic :)
James and Jaime met us at the furniture store and came over to help get everything setup and ready for our precious girl! We are so very blessed to have such wonderful best friends, especially ones who love our sweet Sophie ALMOST as much as we do.
Since I know you want me to stop typing and just show you pictures, I'll be quiet now :)
It's still a work in progress, but it's certainly coming together. Comments and suggestions welcome :)
This bedding was a PAIN to install ~ Note to Pottery Barn: Ties should be a tad longer! I do love it though once I got past the frustration part :) This was a typical Aggie joke ~ "How many Aggies does it take to install a baby crib bumper?" Apparently 4 and even then it was hysterical! Laughter is good for the soul and even more so when it's with your best friends ;)
My VERY comfy chair! It is going to be my very best friend in the near future :) I will see more of it than most other things in my life! Need a lamp and something???
Still in need of a few decorations but love the letters! A great Aunt Jaime find :)
Not great lighting :( I think I need a picture or something above the dresser. Though if Kevin has his way, there will be a TV and in iPod in that general area ~ that's still an ongoing debate! The giraffe is ADORABLE! I still turn it on regularly and watch it's head bob. Thank you Aunt Debbie :)
I know it looks like a lot of clothes, but we caught good sales on winter items so we bought big! All girls need lots of clothes ~ plus she already has Daddy wrapped ;) Back of the travel system from Grandma Gail and Papa John ~ she is going to be traveling in style! Love you guys!
