{ project: nursery }

Wow.
Obviously I am VERY new at this whole decor blogging thing, because I completely spaced posting for the last week or so.  If I were more "with it", I would have planned some posts ahead of time.  Ah well, live and learn right?
Sorry for the brief hiatus -- I am back and ready to go!

So, as some of you may know, I am a little bit pregnant.
Oh, who am I kidding -- I'm about to explode.
I am 35 1/2 weeks pregnant and baby boy (no name yet) is due to make his appearance on August 3rd.
This was me at 29 weeks:
  I have not taken a more recent pic -- if I do, I'll post it for y'all to see.
While we could not be more thrilled, I am suddenly thrown into nesting overdrive. 
See, with my Taelie girl, I made her nursery bedding, and I've been planning on making this little one's too, but between moving for the summer and having to haul stuff back and forth, I decided to just wait until I got home to worry about it.  (and I could not for the life of me, find any fabric that I just LOVED in Baltimore.  Soooo frustrating!) 
Well, I'm home now...and I only have 3 1/2 weeks to whip together some of this cuteness:
Boy, those bumpers took a lot of work -- they aren't hard at all - just time consuming.
And, knowing me, I had to make the crib skirt difficult and use multiple fabrics instead of just one.  I have issues, people...issues!
This blanket took by far the most work though...luckily I love it, but man!

I love making baby bedding, so I am actually really excited to get started on baby boy's nursery.  I have it all planned out in my head how I want it to look. 

As soon as Taelie girl wakes up, we are off to the fabric store.  I am praying this little boy waits until his induction date to get here...if so, then I have T-26 days until delivery.  That is plenty of time to make everything, right?  (just nod along with me...it will make me feel better!)

Now, if I can just find fabric I love...we'll be set!

The fabric you found is awesome. And you look so beautiful at 29 weeks! I wish I had lol. I was a bit... swollen. You look wonderful, and I hope you're feeling it too.
