All We're Missing is Baby

They call it 'nesting.' It's the time every mother and father spends creating the perfect little home for baby to come home to. For the last two days I have been been cleaning, building, hanging, moving, decorating, etc. It amazes me how many baby things require assembly and if you know Tim well, you know assembly is not his area of expertise. I was so proud of him for helping with the furniture and hanging her name above her bed. It's a bit crooked, but hung with love and that's all that matters to a little one. So after working pretty much non stop for two days I started to wonder just how long does nesting take. The nerdy side of me looked up the Wikipedia answer and learned that some birds build nests in 2-4 weeks while others complete their nests in 2-3 days. The later must be those Type A birds like myself who don't like piles of things in their living room. I would love to paint her walls, but other than that I am so happy with the way it came out. We are ready with our diaper station, feeding station, bathing station, clothes organized by size and type, toys with batteries installed ready to light up and play music for her arrival and of course a comfy bed made and stuffed friends waiting. I love to go in her room and think of how she will be here soon enjoying the many things people have blessed her with. While there are still a few more items that need to be purchased, for the most part all we're missing is baby. Lots of pictures, enjoy...
