Nursery Update

I finally found curtains that I like and our chair came in (FYI, it's officially the greatest chair ever made!).  Here are the latest nursery pictures (the 4 wall that isn't pictured is an entire wall of closets - nothing fun to see there and hence the crib being in front of the window).

I still have to decide what I want to do on the wall above the changing table and eventually I'll have to decide what to do on top of/above the dresser (the tv is staying until late night feedings cease and then it's finding a new home in the living room - yay for finally being able to get rid of all of our "bubble" tvs). :)  Any suggestions are welcome.

On another note, I told Clay this morning that we HAVE to decide on a name because I'm tired of referring to her as Baby Jackson - people think we're having a boy!  It has been narrowed down to 2 and I told him to just pick one of them (I like both names - and he does as well, but every time I say let's use this one he hesitates so I decided that he could just pick the final name).  So, I'm hoping we'll have an official name some time in the VERY near future!

Nusery Update

The nursery got painted yesterday and I LOVE it.  Here's a sneak peak (it looks a little yellow in the pictures, but it's really green).

Baby Bedding

Because apparently there really are at least 2 people who read this blog (seriously, I'm amazed by this) and they happen to be curious about baby bedding, below is the bedding that I have picked out (and, in the case of the boy bedding, have already bought because I found a deal WAY too good to pass up).  The first is the picture of the bedding I have picked out for if Baby Jackson is a boy.  The second is the bedding if it happens to be a girl.

Regardless of whether we have a boy or girl, the nursery will be painted some shade of green.  And while the greens in each of these are similar to one another, they are not exactly the same so we'll make that final decision 2 weeks from tomorrow when we find out for sure what we're having. 

We have furniture (kind of)

Clay and I bought the last big piece of furniture for the nursery this weekend (and what some might consider the most important piece) - the glider and ottoman.  Yay!  Now, I've had several people tell me we are doing things really early, but let me just say that I disagree.  For one, I DO NOT plan to be putting together nursery furniture and decorating when I'm 8 months pregnant and so large that I can't see my feet.  Secondly, apparently furniture takes a REALLY long time to come in - everything we've ordered takes at least 10-12 weeks for delivery.  So really, even though we've ordered it all, we won't receive any of it until sometime in August probably (we ordered the crib, changing table, and dresser back at the beginning of May).  If anyone's interested, below are pictures of what we've bought.  In addition to everything below, we also bought the 5 drawer dresser in the same color/collection as the crib and changing table, but I can't find a picture of it online.  We bought the furniture at USA Baby in Franklin and the swivel glider and ottoman at Babies R Us.

Color and Crib(Creations Baby)

Changing Table (Creations Baby) - same color as crib.

Swivel Glider (Babies R Us) - we bought it in a beigy velour (very neutral), not taupe corduroy.

Ottoman (Babies R Us) - same beigy color & fabric as glider.

I can't wait for everything to get here so I can actually start decorating!  August seems so far away...

Our next big purchase is the crib mattress.  Any suggestions on that are greatly welcomed!
