Baby Brother's Nursery

I can officially say that at 37 weeks & 3 days our little boy's nursery is DONE! Artwork is hung, clothes are put away, blankets are folded, the crib is made, his hospital bag is packed and this room is ready (minus vacuuming - but thanks to a golden retriever this job never seems to be complete). I'm sure a few items will be found as I clean throughout the house that need to be added to his room, but otherwise his room (and only his room) is decorated and functionally ready for him to make his grand entrance.

This completion was not done in haste (so please do not think that I'm in labor or showing any signs of that at the moment), but rather completed because it was all stuff that could be finished and checked off our endless to-do list well in advance. No one will be wearing his little coming home outfit between now and his arrival, so I went ahead and packed it in the bag. No one will be sleeping in his crib between now and then, so I finished making it. Artwork can't get knocked over by a big sister or golden retriever interested in checking out the nursery if it is hanging on the wall, so David hung it up. And since David spent an hour hanging the artwork in both the nursery and Carly's room today, I thought I owed it to him to spend an hour tidying up the nursery as well. (Let's face it, that is a lot more fun than cleaning up the kitchen or say a bathroom.) After spending less than an hour in the nursery the bouncy/vibrating chair was assembled and the room was fully in order.

Please note - while this room may be complete and neat, the rest of our home is not. It looks like it has been well used and played in during this Easter weekend. So I'm really not nesting.
