Happy Monday! Do you want to know why I am so happy today? First, I got the baby's nursery organized over the weekend, which takes a huge weight off my mind. Now at least the baby won't be sleeping in the bathtub. I am definitely one who can't settle down until those loose ends are all tied up. But even better than that?
I think I am nearing the end of this pregnancy! My doctor told me on Friday that I am about 3 cm. dilated, 70% effaced, and that she doesn't think I will make it to the 40 week mark. She thought things were progressing fast enough that she even warned me not to do anything this past weekend (wink, wink) that would, you know, induce labor, because she was going to be out of town until Monday morning.
So I made it through the weekend and am now hopeful that I will start to have some labor pains soon! So far I have had lots of contractions, but nothing consistent. I will keep you posted! In the meantime, here are some photos of the newly-completed nursery.
Keep in mind that it's pretty bland right now. Since we don't know the gender of the baby, we are waiting to add all those little touches that will make it cozy and unique.
But some things are just too cute not to show you right now...
I can't wait to put frames and other cute things on this shelf!
This bassinet was my in my husband's family, and I just love it! I just gave it a fresh coat of white paint, and of course, added a white grosgrain ribbon.
I'll be sure to show you more of the nursery once we can add colorful curtains, a rug, bedding, and various other little things to make it more personal. That's the fun part!

I almost wish that doctors wouldn't tell you you are going to go early - just let it be a surprise so you're not just waiting and wondering! Good luck to you and I hope your doctor is right. Your nursery is lovely, and your baby will be the finishing touch!
You did a great job!
Where are you going to put those pretty blue bowls? You have to find a place for them that is not in a box in the garage! ;) Maybe your bedroom! ;)
I hope it's fast! I do have to say that by the 3rd baby, they tend to just fall out ;)
I am so excited for you!
It loos cozy so far!
I love the goodnight moon pillow.

oh - isn't it soooo much fun? I'm busy decorating our nursery too. I love the little moon pillow. So cute! Good luck with everything and I'll be anxiously awaiting updates!
I can only imagine what you will do with it to make it even more amazing once you find out if it's a girl or boy. Decorating baby rooms are so much fun!
Best of luck on your delivery...hopefully soon!
Yay! That little bassinet is so sweet. You got a lot done this weekend! I cannot wait to find out what you have. :)
It's just right for a little one...They have no idea anyways of all those colors and other things...I love it! The bassinet is so sweet. I can't wait to find out what colors you will be using though! *smiles*
Congrats on being so close! And I can't wait to see the room once you've added those details. Hubby and I are going to register today but we're only 22 weeks along. So for the next 18 or so weeks, I can read your blog as you settle into your new baby. Any suggestions as to what you use, like, and dislike would be great as you find those out!
So exciting, a new baby! Your room is going to be beautiful. I'm partial to yellow it seems to go with everything. Have a happy "labor" day. Mimi
Awww! How sweet! I was wondering if you might go this last weekend! Your nursery looks so bright and cheerful, and I love the little bassinet. THey don't get much sweeter than that. :)
Please keep us posted on everything - congratulations that you don't have to wait much longer!
What a cozy room for your baby to snuggle in. The wicker bassinet is beautiful. I had a wicker bassinet for my boys. My mom surprised me with one when I returned from the hospital. She had spent several hours sewing and decorating it. It had rollers so we could roll it from room to room. I loved it.
I hope you'll be snuggling with your lil' one soon.
Everything looks adorable!!!
How exciting on both ends! Decorating the nursery is truly my favorite part of pregnancy. I don't know how you have the patience to wait on finding out the gender. The room looks great so far...I can't wait to see the finished product. Have a great delivery and return home :-)

Your nursery is adorable. It sounds like your bundle will be here soon! We should have started a baby pool!
You made a beautiful room for the little one! The Goodnigh Moon pillow is so sweet. I read that book so many times to my daughter I can still recite it by heart! So exciting - you're almost there!
Manuela
what a cute room! i cant wait to here if it is a boy or a girl, how exciting!
i love that cute little pillow!
Love how you angled the crib! Can't wait to see if there is going to be blue or pink pretties in there soon!!
The room is very calming and lovely. Look forward to hearing whether it is a boy or a girl and seeing what you will add.
Happy nesting and look forward to a baby announcement soon.
The nursery is so cute!! I love the color on the walls. I hope your baby comes soon!!
Very sweet little room. I love that you're not finding out the gender. We didn't find out with our first and it made that magical first moment with our baby just a little bit more special.

Oh, EXCITING!! I don't know about you but this pregnancy has gone by fast for ME! HA! It really does seem like just yesterday you said you were pregnant. Is Nina excited? Well, now you can do what ever it was the doctor told you NOT to do!!
That pillow is the highlight of the room, as far as I'm concerned! I love it all though. Just in case you go into labor any minute...Happy delivery!
Oh my gosh! I am so excited for you! So, so excited : ). I love the bassinet. It is too pretty! You are so talented. I learn new things from you every time I come! You are a blessing! I will be praying for you.
