What about Baby?

Just to catch everyone up (assuming anyone will read this), our baby is due August 1st. There is no indication so far that he has any plans of showing up early. He does not have a name yet. And, no... we are NOT keeping it a secret, we just haven't decided. Neither of us are very decisive people. Since we only have a few weeks left, we will probably just wait and see what he looks like before we name him. I don't want my baby to have a name that doesn't fit his face!

The baby's room is almost finished. I need a few more things for the wall and he needs a name so I can order the letters to hang over his bed. I will post pictures of the nursery when I figure out how. It turned out so cute!

After ordering about 50 swatches and searching for just the right color blue, I finally picked out fabric. My mom ended up making the bedding and it is exactly what I pictured. She worked so hard and did such a great job... I wish I had that talent. She also recovered his chair.

My dad, mom, and Uncle Sammy refinished a book case that came from my Mama Ninnie's (great grandmother) home. It was a pretty ragged piece of furniture that Mama Ninnie used for a pantry. I always knew I would find a place for it. I think it looks great in the nursery and it adds a little piece of history. Apparently it originally belonged to my great great grandparents... that's OLD!

So... the nursery is basically complete, our bags are packed, his clothes are washed, the house is semi-clean... the only thing left for me to do is wait. Waiting is so much fun when you're 9 months pregnant!
