The Nursery..in Progress

For those of you who have asked, here are some pics of the nursery in progress. We left the antique dresser and will convert it to a changing table. Still waiting to get that changing cover. We also have my great grandmother's rocking chair--just have to recover the seat. Material is there, just need to stretch and staple! Love my little baskets with all Joseph's cute things in them, and the cotton curtains that let plenty of light in--very happy and cozy. Then, in the next corner, we have the bed. Decided not to go with "bedding" and just stick with neutral, organic cottons, so that all of the old blankets and things will just mix right in. Please note the adorable quilt that Billy's Mimi made him when he was a baby. love it. Also, Billy's sweet parents gave us a beautiful needlepoint of a little black lab puppy named Mabel, seeing as she will be Joseph's first dog. I feel sure he will cherish this framed picture forever, probably much to his future wife's chagrin! Need to hang the mobile and get his icon corner set up, but all in all, if he came today, Joseph would have a place to lay his head and what a happy place he will make it! Oh...and for my far off friends who have been asking, here's a somewhat shot of what I look like at nearly 37 weeks pregnant. I'm home alone this morning, so it's the best I could do! We'll try for a better one when hubs gets home from riding. So there ya have it. A quick look at what's going on around here at over 9 mons preg. We go for the big drs appointment tomorrow to see if we have made any progress and then the waiting continues. Meanwhile we are enjoying relaxing, hanging out with friends and just life as usual. The juxtaposition is a bit strange, but we like it. Enjoy your holiday!
