Getting Ready for Baby Sister

with 11 days to go until our due date, i am in full-on nesting mode and getting very excited to meet this little lima bean!  it has been even more fun than i thought to decorate a room for a little girl.  richard will say that there is more pink than he expected, but i love it!
here are some pictures of her sweet room
the walls were already yellow and perfect for a little girl's room

our new crib thanks to mimi and granddad fuquay.  i had fun repurposing this pink fabric from an old duvet cover that i loved.  i used the fabric to make the crib bumper and crib skirt as well as some basket liners and ties for the curtains. 

Thanks nana and papa for this great mobile

we painted the changing table from brooks's room and decided to use this dresser from my childhood room for storage in the closet.  i love looking at all of her sweet clothes hanging here waiting for her arrival.

we also moved the rocking chair to the nursery, making room for a play table in brooks's room - he loves it!

this moses basket was from when i was a baby!  i made a new slipcover for the pad and then a new bumper for baby girl.

ok baby girl, we are ready for you now!  (at least your stuff is ready - i don't know about ever feeling totally ready to stop sleeping for a while!)
