Update on nursery

Here are some pictures of our progress.




The two bags are clothes we have been given and from yard sales. The mesh bag is full of receiving blankets, hooded towels, etc.




This are just two colorful, fun items. It's the diaper organizer on wheels and a baby rocker.



And finally... this is a dresser that used to belong to Brent's dad Larry when he was a boy. Refinishing it was supposed to be my project but pregnancy was upon us before I did any work. I did some sanding in the beginning, but Brent did the majority of it and all the staining/coats of polyurethane. I think he did an amazing job. There is a matching nightstand to do as well, but that can wait until Peanut arrives so I can work on it.

Things are definitely coming along. Now that the dresser is done, I will get his clothes washed in the next few days. He can come anytime as far as I am concerned! I am starting to understand fully why all women say the last month is definitely the longest. I am due on 7/18. That seems like a long way off. Just last week I started to feel uncomfortable pretty much consistently. My feet are swollen, I am achy, and Brent is consistently putting on my tennis shoes! He has been great through out this whole thing. I am convinced that we will make a good parenting pair.

I am honestly getting anxious about being sleep deprived for at least 6 months. That part worries me. But the most exciting thing for us will be meeting Mr. Peanut. I just love the little guy and can't wait to snuggle him.
