Nursery Sneak Peek

I kept trying to post a blog all day Wednesday, and I never could get the text editor to load!  Anyone else have that problem?  All seems to be working now, however, so I can share some pics with you! 



First, here's a picture of me taken at 32 weeks on Sunday (well, technically I was 31 weeks and 6 days, but shhh, don't tell).





Since Charlotte's arrival is fast approaching, we are starting to work more seriously on the nursery.  On New Year's Eve, Stephen and my dad and father-in-law set to work assembling the furniture.   Stephen was very excited:


The work in progress:





Crib with crib bedding.  I am thinking about mounting the blanket on the wall but am not quite sure how to do so, as I have not a crafty bone in my body.  Any suggestions??


The furniture set we purchased included a crib, changing table, and dresser.  After much hunting online, I found an adorable lamp to go with the butterflies and flower theme:


And then we found this fabulous swing on Amazon and used Amazon money we got from my parents for Christmas to buy it.  The best part is the swing plugs in so we won't waste tons and tons of batteries! Genius!


We still have nothing on the walls, but I have some wall hangings and decals to put up as soon as I can decide where/how to place them.  Seeing all of the nursery decor come together has made Charlotte's arrival all the more real, and it's so exciting to think that she could be here in less than 8 weeks!  (Please, little Charlotte, don't come late!)
