Slowly but surely, it's coming together :-)

I am so excited! Today (Sunday) was an amazing day. We had one of the best church services yet and an amazing time of fellowship afterwards. The Holy Spirit really feel today :-)

After fellowshiping with our congregation after service, Dennard took Little Sweets and myself out for a late breakfast to one of our favorite breakfast spots; Flips. Little Sweets has been 'extremely' quite today; not much movement compared to most days. I guess the baby is really taking Sunday as their day of rest! LOL

In anycase, my dad was planning on stopping over today while we were at service to finish installing the closet organizer I had purchased for the nursery. We really appreciate his labours as Dennard will be the first to admit that he's not the most handiest of men! LOL When we got home, we were pleasantly surprised to find that my dad had not only installed the closet organizer for us, but assembled my rocking chair and began to pull out the parts for my bassinet.

I was literally moved to tears. To see my rocking chair set up and the parts to my bassinet laying on the floor ready to be put together, made it all so real that our little baby is coming home soon! I stood there for a while, tears streaming down my cheeks, as I envisioned myself rocking our Little Sweets to sleep and quietly putting them down for naps in their new bassinet.  Dennard chuckled at me as he left the nursery- he's getting use to my sentimental moments now and find them quiet humorous! LOL

I spent the afternoon loading some of the baby's items into their new closet and arranging everything just so. I must have put things in, pulled things out, put things back in and pulled them back out 1000 times. LOL I wanted to make sure everything was organized and laid out perfectly. I wanted to make sure the little socks and hats were easily assessable, that the toys had a special spot, diapers were stored away, etc.  I was able to get a good start today with the items I have. The rest of it will be organized after my shower on June 30th.

The room has a FAR way to come, but here is what it looks like to date. Slowly but surely, it's coming together :-)

 I am not taking the plastic off my rocker until closer to my due date as I dont want it just sitting there collecting dust.  The crib and dresser will be brought up from the garage and assembled in a few weeks.  We will be laying down an area rug within the week to make the room a little more cosy for the baby.

The room is very simple looking now as I don't plan on accessorising the room with more colours until the baby is born. I want to be able to decorate it and accent it according to the gender.

I can't take a full shot of the room due to the angling of the walls, but you can see what it looks like from the hallway going into the nursery.
