Welcome to Babyland!

Can you believe that the big day is only about 2 weeks away (give or take a few days depending on the little guy's plans). We've put the car seat in the car and our bags are (mostly) packed. My list of before-baby-to-do items has shrunk and grown and shrunk again over the last couple of weeks. I am constantly thinking of more "last-minute" things to get done.
The baby's room is finally finished (with the exception of hanging a picture and finding a lamp shade) and so I thought you might all like some pictures. I tried to get as many shots as possible so that you could see the whole room.


He's got just a few (ha) books as you can see. (And there are lots more in the closet that wouldn't fit on the book shelf)




And last, but not least.... the stroller!! Courtesy of Poppa! I can't wait to put our little guy in it and go for a walk around the neighborhood.

And one more baby item that I finished a long while ago (but forgot to post a picture).

Ta Da!!!

Just about 4 weeks to go!!!
Well, I was able to finish both the curtains and the crib skirt!!! I have to say the curtains were a challenge because I have a bit of a difficult time getting up and down from the floor quickly and repeatedly but they are finished! The toy box is in and put together and the dresser and bookcase are finished and we will be picking them up sometime this week. I can't wait to show you all the finished room (I can't wait to see it myself). Well, here are the last sewn items for the baby's room....drum roll....

I think my flash decided not to cooperate for this picture

the crib skirt is difficult to see but it is made out of the same stripe as the curtain panels
