33-34 Weeks

The nursery is almost ready!
Here's a shot of the adorable toy chest
Erin made him!
Nate put the bassinet together, we love it!
It's staying in the closet for now...
33 & 34 Week Belly Pics.
Definitely a baby in there!
This pregnancy is really starting to wear
on Taylor. Luckily Grandma got her a
Snuggie to help her cope!

Hanging things in nursery!

Tonight (11.11.09) we worked on hanging things
in the nursery after our 33 week doctor
appointment.

Baby Boy Lipton is measuring right on track
and his heartbeat was good too!

We ended up with the Roman Shades even
though they received zero votes :)

Daddy shot down the white wood blinds.

We both agreed we didn't want to cover
the nice trim with drapes.

And the quality of the roman shades we
found was so much nicer than the cellulars, plus
we wanted something different than what's
in the rest of the house.

Long story short = white roman shades!
(from Lowe's)

We also hung a mirror above the chest,
from Lowe's as well.
You would not believe how hard it was to find
white picture frames.

We originally bought one at the Christmas Tree
Shoppes, but when we tried to get two more, found
they were in bad shape!

Finally we tracked down these at AC Moore and
very, very luckily happened to land them
on sale. White frames are also not
cheap!

The prints were purchased on eBay from a
shop called "Posh Custom Art by Terezie"

She hand painted them and then printed them
on heavy cardstock - they were designed to
match the Pottery Barn Lambie bedding!


Right now I'm working on getting all the clothes
washed and ironed. This weekend I want to get
them put away and the rest of the nursery
organized!

The time is rapidly approaching :)

32 Weeks & Working on Nursery

The time is quickly approaching!
We are trying to get the nursery in order, it is no
longer an empty, blank slate!

I used the extra drawer liners to line these
white boxes. I'm thinking they'll be used
to store some of his small items like
booties and hats.

Here is a close-up of the lambie bank Erin made for him.
It's too cute!

The lambie bank and the lamp! The lamp was a gift from
Carolyn and Leandra. Then I got an English Barrel
lamp shade at Restoration Hardware in "flax".

Here's the messy closet. This is the "before".
I am working on washing and organizing all the
little clothes!
Notice the stuffed animals strategically placed
inside the closet, out of Taylor's reach :)

Chaos!


More chaos!


And WOW. No more tiny belly.
