Nursery ... phase 2 ... and 3.

Guys, guys, guys ... the nursery is pretty much DONE! YAY!

Remember, it was only a few short months ago that it looked like this ...

and this ...

But, by the beginning of May, we had started phase 2 of the nursery.  We had moved all the furniture to its' new homes and a ton of garbage out to the trash and painted the room!

Now, after many months, lots of shopping, and much work (and only a little groaning) by my lovely husband, it is ready for the baby boy! (Well, almost, the chair situation still stands, but thanks to one of our glorious "Fairy God Mothers" we currently have a temporary glider in place so at least I can rock my baby if he comes home in the next three weeks! And it kind of matches ... happy accident!)

Here are some pix of the new room!! I love it so much, Scott keeps finding me in there just sitting and smiling! Maizy is also a *big* fan, but I think it has a lot more to do with the soft, comfy, new rug :) Enjoy!

 Baby's Crib! And toy basket.

 Little jungle friends waiting in the crib :) 

 Elephant Chair :) 

Changing table/dresser combo ... We have one more *special frame* for the middle of the shelf but we can't get it until we have more info on the baby (like his bday and name :))

 Shelf over the glider. (Video monitors are so cool!)

Thank you so much family and friends for all the books! Our lil guy is going to be so smart :) 

Bookcase and special Cubs frame from Auntie Karen!

 I'm so in love with this bedding set and the beautiful art work we decided on.

I feel *soo* much better now that the nursery is all beautiful and ready! And that it all came together as I pictured it in my head! Success!

It is very important to me to be able to show the baby his new room when we bring him home from the hospital ... even if he can't really see yet and will be sleeping in his bassinet in our room for a while. ;) 

Now all I need is the baby!! My contractions have been nice and close together again the last couple of days, just waiting for the pain to increase ... eeeee.
