nursery...in progress

I knew long before our baby boy was indeed a boy, that if we were to be blessed with a mud-playing, cheerio-throwing, naughty, and precious boy that his "colors" would be in the blue/brown scheme.

We were in the midst of building our new house in TX and I had visions of stripe-painted walls and such, aaaand we chose last minute to move half-way across the country {not sure if I've blogged about that}, decided to rent instead of buy and my stripe-painted walls become no more because I'm a lazy and don't like to paint things back. So, I've had to get creative via nesting. I have made like a bird, and nested.

Nesting, that weird thing they say pregnant women get right before baby comes. It attacked me, really. In the past two days, following Kyndal's lead, I've done the following:

-Made a window treatment/curtain for the kitchen. Made. I made a curtain.

-Made another window treatment, double the size of the kitchen one...for the bathroom.

*The pics of those will soon follow.

-Painted three 16"x 20" canvases for H's room.

-Added 5 yards of fabric to Hudson's crib skirt. This was completely a last minute, fabric store purchase and my biggest project thus far. All in two days.

Throw in a little laundry, a shower or two, and finally packed for the hospital {another post entirely}. I don't know what happened to myself, I don't know her.

I must be losing my mind. I'm about to birth a child and I'm making curtains, canvases, and crib skirts.

I totally just bragged on myself {do you appreciate that squeezing in a shower is considered bragging at this point?}, on my own blog. That's awesome. I promise to never, ever do that again. Until that post though, I'll delight you in a few pictures of Hudson's nursery---not yet done :) He lacks still a rug, and some more art work but you'll get the idea of where I'm headed.

Bookshelf put together by mommy and daddy filled with lots of sweet treats from family and friends ♥

waiting on our very own snuggle bunny...

His crib and bedding I am in love with but the skirt was too short and rather plain, so I dr'd it and VOILA! the polka dots helped SO much. I am now a professional crib skirt'er.

There is nothing sweeter than putting together a room for a baby, nothing.

where the tiny hiney gets changed...

How can you love someone so much that you have never even laid eyes on?

This is it. Now we wait. There are frantic calls and messages from family and friends out of sheer excitement to meet Hudson but I am so calm {short-lived, I imagine} knowing I am only days away from meeting our son. Excitement can't even begin to cover how I feel right now. Every night JR and I sit in his room, in his chair, in awe that this is HIS room, our baby boy.

We can't wait for you to meet him ♥
