The Nursery

So, I have shared how difficult the wait time has been for me.  One way that I have combated it was to get the nursery ready.

This is something that I have dreamed about for as long as I could remember.  I had decorated the room in my mind time and time again over the years.  I could not believe that I was finally to the point that I could design a room that would be the place of safety and peace for our child.

I searched for weeks for a gender neutral theme and then spent some time thinking about colors.  Once I decided on a theme I was full boar to get the room completed and spening a lot of time on the Internet ordering stuff!  Derek and I spent some time at Guiry's looking at paint colors and brought some samples home.  It took us a couple of days to decide, but I knew I wanted the accent color to be sage green.  Luckily I have an in home professional painter who gave me a great discount on the painting, free!

On our first blizzard day of the season we spent the day cleaning our what was the office and putting together the crib and dresser.  We purchased the whole set the day before our final home study interview as a celebration of our journey to that point.

I spent the next couple of weeks putting the final touches on it until it was perfect.  The only piece missing now is the glider.  Babies R Us says it will take 10-12 weeks to arrive at their store . . . that seems like a REALLY long time!
Now that the room is done we are in love with it.  It turned out much better than we ever could have imagined.  We cannot wait to bring our bundle of joy home and spend hours rocking away, reading and singing songs.
