Nursery!!!!

I have finally taken pictures of the nursery!  I know y'all were waiting on pins and needles ;)  So here we go!

This is when you first walk into the room.  I couldn't ever get a picture that showed the true wall color.  It is an apple green...not lime green just like granny smith apple green.  

I have a valence that should be in this week.  It is the same as the crib skirt.  The striped fabric with the green swirl trim.  

I love the crib!  I'm not sure if I posted about our crib issues but I will give you a quick summary.  We were going to get a crib from my sister-in-law that she had been saving for us.  It was six years old.  I'm sure she didn't think she would have to store it for so long but, ya know, it took us almost 3 years to get pregnant!  Anyway, when I was about 20 weeks or so I found out that it was a drop side crib and that just wasn't going to fly.  SOOOOO I had to tell her that after all that time we weren't going to use it.  I felt bad but I just couldn't justify using it. Anyway....I love the one we got!

Her sweet name over the crib.  I didn't paint them.  I was going to paint the letters myself but in order to get the letters in the font that I wanted it was going to cost almost as much as having them painted so I decided to have someone else do it.  

I love her bedding.  I ordered it from modpeapod.com.  They do custom bedding and she has a ton of different fabric to choose from.  If you are looking for bedding or anything like that you should check it out!  It all came out exactly how I wanted it.  I don't know if y'all remember my fabric fiasco but I am so glad all of that happened!  I ended up with exactly what I wanted :)  Oh and Blakely has already started collecting pink giraffes!

This is Blakely's soft bear.  I posted about that here.  I so need to get mine out and take a picture of them side by side! 

These are the two closet doors.  The things on the chest are going to be hung up...just haven't done that yet.  

Inside of the closets.  You can't see it but in between the doors are a ton of shelves.  I have all of her blankets and things in bins on those shelves.  

This is the giraffe that my Grand painted for Blakely.  It is going to be hung over the chest.  Isn't it perfect?!?!?

This is a poem called The Sugar Plum Tree.  My great grandmother calligraphied a copy of this poem and it was in my room when I was little.  I would make my mom read it to me ALL THE TIME.  If she messed up just a little bit I would make her start over.  So, my mom copied it down and had it framed in this pink frame.  I can't wait to read it to Blakely every night.  

I put together and painted these nightstands!  That book on the bottom is her baby book.  

This is the queen bed that is in her room.  We decided to put it in there for a couple of reasons.    We had a room that had two queen beds in it.  That room became my husbands office/library.  I left one bed in there.  So we had this extra queen bed.  We really like having a lot of beds in our house for when  Lonnie's family comes to stay (his mother, brother, sister-in-law, and 6 year old twins).  So it was either get rid of the queen bed or put it in B's room.  Also, her room is really big!  Without the bed it was kind of empty.  I also thought it was a great opportunity to decorate!  So I ordered some extra fabric that I used for her bedding and had pillows made.  I LOVE THEM....I think they just make the room complete.  Well she will make the room complete but you know what I mean :) 

Up close of the pillows....

I am going to have a collage of her newborn pics over the bed in dark cherry frames.  I think maybe a large one with a few smaller ones surrounding...all different frames.  Maybe a large maternity one with smaller newborn pics.  

A pink giraffe on the shelves.   The little piggy bank if from Syble, my niece.  She has one just like it :)  The pink flower is the sash that I wore in my maternity pictures which you can see here.  My Grand painted the B.  I should have taken a closer pic of this... 

And one more pic of the bedding without all the stuffed animals.  

So, as you can see, all we need is my little princess!  I can't wait for her arrival!  People keep asking me when she is going to arrive....what is my gut telling me?  Well I'm not sure!  Am I supposed to have a feeling?  I just want her here and healthy.  Oh and maybe wait until this weekend is over since daddy is on call :/

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!!  Oh and Go HOGS!!!
