The Baby Room Is Complete (...Minus The Baby)

Woohoo! It's done! I am officially ready for this baby to get here. If you would have asked me last week, I would have told you that if this baby came early, it would have been on instant "time out". Now the baby room is done and the main parts of the house are clean - I am ready.

Here's a look at the baby room:
Can you believe I MADE THIS??? I have no idea how to sew, but I figured I could go in a straight line without too many mishaps. My sister, Kelle helped me put the quilt top together, and my Grandma Winters helped me tie the bumper and quilt and taught me how to put the quilt back on. I also made the valance, bed skirt, pillow and covered the ottoman to the glider. Sorry to gloat, but I am so dang proud of myself!! My mom had this TV cabinet in storage for years and thought it would work in the baby room. Thanks Mom! When we actually got the cabinet in the room, it didn't quite fit with the crib. (my math skills are not the best) With some creative arranging from my fabulous husband, he got everything to fit. The middle where the TV is supposed to go was the perfect size and height for a changing table.

Details, details, details...





So, my little Sunshine, we're as ready as we'll ever be.

We can't wait to finally meet you!

I love the room. I'm like Krista, my kids rooms NEVER looked as good as yours. I'm back for good from Utah. Call me and we can get together.

WOW! I love the baby room! Baby Haring will be living it up in style! I never got the baby's room ready before the baby was born. I was too afraid that the ultrasound was wrong, so I left all of the bedding in the package until I got home from the hospital & was sure that I didn't need to return it.
