The Nursery! :)

After two extremely busy weekends full of finishing up the preparations for Bennett's arrival in less than a month (ah!), we finally finished the nursery! After my Cecil shower two weekends ago, my Mom came back with us and spent the weekend helping me unpack everything, wash everything, run a million errands and started putting things away. I couldn't thank her enough for all of her help - we got so much accomplished and were so exhausted after working so hard on everything! (I took a 3.5 hour nap after she left last Monday afternoon) :)

This past weekend my girlfriend Ashley and her sweet 6 month old came for the weekend to help me put the finishing touches on the decorations that I have been working on. While we worked on decorations, Eric assembled the rock 'n play and a stool for Bennett's bathroom. During our late night of getting so much done, Ash put together the swing, pack 'n play and even installed the carseat in our car! When all of our crafts were done, we started hanging everything on Bennett's walls!

Now that his nursery is finished, I feel like we are even more ready (and even more excited if that's at all possible) for our little man to arrive. I'm so excited to share the final photos of the nursery with all of you. (Be sure to take a peek back at all of the "before" stages of the nursery... It has come such a long way!) I'm obsessed with the way it turned out and love all of the personal little touches found throughout the nursery.

Nursery Stage 1 - Prepping & Painting

Nursery Stage 2 - Blinds & Furniture

Nursery Stage 3 - Painting Project

Nursery Stage 4 - The Closet

One awesome thing to note that I am so thankful for, is that Ashley's Mom Mom made all of our bedding - from the quilts, curtain, pillow, rail cover, crib skirt, and car seat canopy - to a ton of little blankets, receiving blankets and burp cloths. As soon as we found out that we were expecting a little boy, Mom Mom told us to pick the fabric that we loved and that as our gift for the baby shower, she wanted to make all of our nursery pieces. Words can't describe how beautiful everything turned out to be and how much time and work she put into everything - we love it so incredibly much!

We already love spending time in the nursery and enjoy sitting in there just thinking about how incredible life will be once our little man is here.
