Nearly There

The baby's room that is. Dave and I finally settled on a glider/ottoman for the baby's room and Dave put it together last night. We're nearly finished in the nursery! Dave just needs to do some touch-up painting (funny, cuz I don't see where he needs to, but whatever), I need to better organize the clothes, and I'm picking up the last of the "decor" tonight (a couple shelves, baskets, and picture frames). I'm so excited to see it completed and show it off! It SO does not look like a baby's room (other than the crib and mobile and such), but we're really happy with how it turned out. We intentionally painted so that he can grow into it and it's not babyish (AND Dave and I are not fans at all of cartoon characters or the like as decor).
I'm feeling less stressed now and like I can focus on the big upcoming event. I've felt so overwhelmed with all the things I had to do and buy to get ready for a baby. Our last big baby purchase was made last night and my hospital bag is nearly packed (I know, I'm so procrastinating that project), so we're on our way!

I love the glider!!! Where'd you get it?!? That will be perfect! I so want to see the finished product of the baby's room!

Our nursery is not babyish either. It is a olive/beige color w/ bright white molding and hardwood floors. Baby motiff items will be crib sheets and such. Nothing permanent. My husband DOES want the airplane layette.
