Nesting Time

With only 17 days to go, I have fully entered the nesting phase of pregnancy. At any given time, I can be found doing laundry, cleaning baseboards, dusting, vacuuming, doing more laundry (baby's laundry needs to be washed separately with free & clear detergent), organizing, shopping for baby stuff, standing in the nursery deep in thought about how to decorate once the baby arrives, or taking a break by watching HGTV with a heaping bowl of ice cream on my belly. Such is my life these days and I'm lovin' it!

Last week, I ventured to a consignment store called Other Mothers and scored an awesome changing table for $50! (It would've cost $150 brand new.) Just like my own mother who taught me the art of bargain shopping, I love nothing more than finding the perfect piece of used/antique furniture at an unbeatable price. I smile every time I look at it!




Snoop loves the baby's room. He's in there every chance he gets.
I found the white "Baby Things" baskets at TJ MAXX on clearance for $5 each and they fit perfectly.
Don't read too much into the blue; I decided light blue will work for a boy or a girl.


Now that Jonathan is on break for the next two weeks, I have him all to myself to help get the last of the baby stuff ready. This weekend, he put together the swing, installed the car seat, and set up the co-sleeper. I can now breathe easier knowing that if we have this baby tomorrow, we would return to a baby-ready home.
