So exciting - Kari, Carmen, do you both have someone assigned to update Pet Talk when the baby arrives?

No but I may have hubby do it. I will try to post as soon as I can.

Edit... Karen, maybe you could PM me your phone number and I'll let you know when she arrives.

Karen, I will probably have either David or my mother update when Clara arrives! I hadn't even thought about it, actually! I need to let them know that I want them to.

Carmen, thank you for the compliments! The nursery has been a lot of fun, even the drama with the paint, hahaha. The bins in the closet are from Walmart ($1 each) and the labels are just stickers. I think they were $0.99 a pack. I don't know how well I'll keep everything separated and organized like I have them now, but I'm sure gonna try!

I can't wait to see final photos of your nursery! Ours won't be 100% until after Clara arrives, because my parents are bringing the final two pieces of furniture when she comes.

It is all so exciting!

Our baby shower today was great! We had over 40 people in the house, it was so much fun!

I figure I'll post some pix of the nursery so far.
Mom gets here tonight so I may not have time to post more in the next weeks.
We'll be busy shopping for last minute things and cleaning house.
I know I will be so grateful for her help.

Carmen, it's so pretty! I love the artwork and your rocker! I can't wait to see the finished room! So feminine!

Wow! You both did a beautiful job on your nurseries!!! Looks great.

Are you planning on having the baby sleep in her room right from the beginning, or will you co-sleep at the beginning? I'm still undecided on that.

Your nurseries look great! We still have to paint and put carpet in our's..it looks like a disaster right now, some wallpaper still clinging on for dear life, and the carpet and baseboards ripped off so it's just a bare wood floor. I want it DONE!

We plan on having her sleep in her bassinette beside our bed for the first couple of months, and she'll take her naps in her crib.

Love both of the nurseries--great job! They have finally started on the addition to our parsonage (house), so it looks like Malcom will actually get to move into his nursery while he is still a baby. Almost everything that we have for his actual nursery is in storage right now. He is still camping out in our room.

PCB, with our daughter, we kept her in our room with us for several months and then moved her to her own room. She slept in a pack-n-play bassinet. We waited a little longer to move her because she was sharing a room with her sister, and they are only 21 months apart. Our son has been in our room from the beginning and will be until this house addition is finished.

We will have Clara in our room in a co-sleeper for awhile. I'll just go with the flow, and whatever feels right and works for us. So, I'm not sure how long she'll sleep in the co-sleeper. I figure I'll put her down for naps in her crib once in awhile.

Thanks! Yes, we will let her sleep in a bassinet in our room for the first few weeks at least.
