23 Weeks and Counting * The baby has a bedroom now!!

Well... I'm at the 23 week mark - only 17 weeks until my due date. It's incredibly - time seems to be flying by so quickly! This weekend we worked hard getting the office, er nursery, together. We've unpacked all the wonderful gifts we've received and organized them. Our furniture is in the room and all assembled. It actually looks like a baby's room now! Our lives have officially begun to change in making room for our new addition to our family.

For those of you who haven't seen our place, we live in a 3-bedroom/2-bath ranch-style condo. We have a 2-car attached garage (a must-have when it's snowing like today!) - and everything else is on the second floor. Our floor plan includes a master bed/bath (obviously our room), a second bedroom, a second bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and den/office. The den/office is now a nursery. It was originally build with a wide door opening, but no doors - okay for an office, not great for a nursery. So Jeremy painted and hung a lovely pair of French doors in that opening. So we've moved our desk out of that room into our bedroom to make room for the baby. Now the office/den is a bonafide nursery, completed with a rocker, armoire, changing table, and crib!! We chose this room over the spare bedroom for two reasons - 1) it's right next to our bedroom, and 2) by maintaining the guest bedroom, we'll have a place for the grandparents and other family and friends to stay during visits.

I'm going to take pictures of the room this week and get them posted - I promise!! All the bedding Mom (Grannie) made looks so cute with all the lovely gifts and accessories we've been given. This baby is certainly undoubtably loved very much!!
