The Nursery

Aunt Meg came to visit this weekend to help decorate the nursery.  

What we thought would be a day-long project turned into a lot of work!  We started with a blank slate and no idea of what we wanted and this is what we got.  To all of my creative friends out there... I hope you approve.  

After about an hour in Barnes and Noble looking through children's books we finally settled on nursery rhymes to frame.  Some matting and about 20 coats of paint later, this is the result.

Next came alphabet letters and shelving.

 Crib and blanket that Megan turned into wall art.

The "bookshelf" and new window treatments.

The changing table is being delivered this week (for the third time).  After that, all we need is a baby!

33 weeks.  We're getting excited... and I'm getting huge!  Ethan just put the crib together last night (very sturdy) and we're planning to assemble the changing table sometime this week.  Aunt Meg is coming to visit this weekend and I'm sure decorating the nursery will be on the agenda so we'll have more pictures soon.  I got a sneak peak of the labor and delivery floor last week while on call- it's all starting to seem very real.  Guess it won't be long!

Here's a look at what dad-to-be is doing while mom-to-be is working 30 hour shifts at the hospital.  I'll be expecting some foot massages when he gets home!
