We are getting more and more ready physically (I am not there emotionally yet). My parents come for the Easter weekend and helped out a lot. Sometimes i just need someone to hold my hand to motivate me to do this. My mom is this person!
My easter weekend goal was sewing baby blankets. I needed someone to just help me decided what fabric should go with what and also the size of the blankets and my mom was the person i needed. They left Sunday and on Monday and Tuesday i sewed all day (took those 2 days off work). I only have one more blanket to sew but i need to wash the fabric first and my washer is still broken (hopefully will be fixed this week). I messed up on a few of them, i sewed 8 in total, but hopefully anyone holding my baby wont notice and i am 100% sure baby wont notice!
We also bought a car seat that weekend. We had a coupon for $30 off and in the end decided to go with a more expensive car seat (i only cared about the color, Scott cared about everything else).
I also bought a bassinet for the baby. I couldn't comprehend spending over $120 for the moses basket and then another $50 for the stand, so i went the cheap way and bought a plain basket and foam to go inside for less than $40!
Here is the start to my nursery, honestly this is the only corner i have done anything with yet... i decided to go with this owl pattern from Dwell Studio! It will show up more later with the crib, moses basket and a few blankets. The chair is big, i regret that but hope that if we have to move it will fit better in the new room. But it was cheap and my dad was kind enough to paint it white! My friend recovered the cushions and we bought the lamp just last night from Crate and Barrel! The little table and basket underneath came back with us from Arizona in February. I think the table was $10 from target and the basket was also $10.
Looking at this picture i really want to paint... i hope we find out soon if we are going to move away for school...

It's all coming together really well Tara! I'm excited to see how it turns out once everything is finished and Baby is here! I'm sad that I'm not going to be here to visit right away- how will either of us make it through the summer?! You need to come over and play before we go to Saskatoon- so in the next 3wks! If you need help with ANYTHING let me know, I am here for ya too- More so after Steve gets back on Thursday :)
Exciting!!! The nursery is going to turn out so cute! I feel like I still have a million things to do to get ready, but I just have 4 days of work I need to get through first. I definitely know how you feel - My C-section is 4 weeks from tomorrow and I'm still waiting for my crib and dresser to arrive! I just want to set up the nursery and put up together all the cute decorations I have. It's driving me crazy!
