Waiting....

This is our last week waiting for our little boy's arrival!
Kyle was off this weekend so we have been purposefully lazy, playing with the soon to be neglected pups, using up restaurant gift cards from Christmas, and stocking up on some groceries. 

The nursery has been "kind of" done for a while, but mainly it's been storing things to sort. I got it cleared out enough today to take some pictures to share. I started out with a blue and red vintage theme. Then it turned into a travel theme, then more things were added and it's just a little boy nursery. I have a tendency to decorate with items I love, even if it's mix matched and random, so it only makes sense that our nursery is the same. 
Anyway, here is our nursery and some of the before/after projects I did: 


BEFORE: Mom gave me an old rocker that she had at her house. I bought new cushions and fabric to recover it. 


AFTER:  Comfy little rocker. Night stand from my mother in law. We were fortunate to only have to buy a crib for furniture. 

Found these cute little handmade bookends at a flea market. A bulldozer and backhoe. Couldn't resist. 

BEFORE: Another flea market find. This ratty little horse just needed some love. 


AFTER: I cleaned the horse up and gave it some new shaggy yarn hair.  It sits next to the little vintage gas pump we found in STL. It opens up with little cubbies for  Baby C to hide his treasures when he is older. The shelves above are full of  vintage toys and items I mostly had around the house.  I got some red clearance under bed storage after Christmas sales and it works perfectly for extra diapers. 


The closet is full of all kinds of cute baby things. I'm sure we will change it around once we start using this room, but for now, it works great for storage. The other closet still has Kyle's things in it so we will re work the closets once that is empty.  


Here is our changing table we made from the dresser we got from my mother in law. I've already changed the peg board storage a few times and I'm sure I will change it more. But for now, this is what we are using with all our bibs, burp cloths, blankets, diapers and wipes in the drawers ready to go



I made Kyle take my picture while I was in normal people clothes (for church). Now back to sweatpants and propping up my feet!


 And just for fun, here is Lola, helping me blog. Throughout my entire pregnancy every time Lola snuggles up to my stomach the baby starts kicking. I"m not sure if they will be buddies or enemies. Guess we will find out soon! Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts throughout my pregnancy. Can't wait to share our bundle of joy with you!
