Finally! Finally, I can say that we have started the nursery. And whats even better, we did A LOT! The walls are painted and the chair rail molding is up. It looks perfect, better than I imagined. We also hung the chandelier and the crib is in place. Now we just have to get the rest of our furniture and do some more detailed decorating and we'll be ready to welcome our lil peanut.
I already feel an overwhelming sense of relief. Once it is done, I will post some pictures.
This weekend we took our hospital tour. It was informative, but I think we already knew most of it. It definitely makes it more real though. We also had a lot of friends and family over for a Labor Day BBQ and Danny had his Diaper Shower. All went very well, and we had a great time. I may have broken my toe, but it's not a good story and I'll be ok.
I'm coming up on 30 weeks this weekend and I really can't believe it. I feel like it wasn't that long ago when I was 12 weeks, and then 20. I'm not ready to be done yet, I'm not ready to have her out of me. I will do my best to savor these last 10 weeks with my baby girl so close to me. Because really, she'll never be as close as she is at this very moment.
Where are you delivering?
ReplyDeleteThe hospital tour always made it more real to me too. But then it seemed surreal once I was there in labor!
