Hi! The baby bedding finally arrived and I absolutely love it! The purples are perfect.
Of course the bumpers will not be on when she sleeps until she is older and moving lots. Also, I know the sheet will be changed so many times that this may be one of the few times it all matches, but I'm going to enjoy it while I can.
Shout out: Thank you to Holly Afton over on Etsy for her wonderful patience as I struggled over decisions and for making exactly what we wanted! She was kind patient, and flexible. She replied quickly to my questions/comments/concerns and provided visuals to help me decide. So grateful to have her custom make our Baby Girl's bedding and curtain!
(Please ignore the mess that is under the changing table.)
The room is cream with white trim and white heaters.
There will be a valance curtain on the window in the elephant and grass pattern soon. We are getting a free pillow from ordering all this that will have her name, birth date, weight, and length once she is born!
Now to get the rest of the nursery ready...that will happen slowly, most likely, as we wait for our dresser to come back to us, our basket set to come back to the store so we can buy it, and a few other items such as wall decor that we need to pick out and buy. There will be pink accents in the room such as the pink on the baskets, as well as a pink elephant to hang. This is more fun than creating a master bedroom!

A bit of an Update & Suggestions Please!
How far along? 36 weeks
Name? We have narrowed down the name list, but won't be choosing baby girl's name until she is born. Guessing won't get you any closer to finding out either! :P
Movement? I think I have finally felt her little hiccups and I feel so bad for her. I hate hiccups and her having them in me is still not my favorite so I can just imagine how it must be for her.

What
I miss? I really miss my cute shoes and clothes. So vain I know, but I've been buying some shirts that I think are cute, loose, and fall worthy, but can also be worn to cover my mommy tummy and breast feed after baby girl is born.
Looking forward to? Everything! (except the labor part) Can she get here already?!
Here are where the suggestions come in:
So in the excitement of everything, Steve has mentioned a few times that we (mainly I) should start getting my hospital bag ready and I think he is right. I have lists and Pinterested things and looked on baby websites, but I want any NEW mom's (if your kid's age is between the range from new born to 5) opinion of what they found were the most important "couldn't-have-done-without" items. Let me know what you were really glad you had or really wished you had right after you gave birth and for your time at the hospital.
I'm pretty big now!!!
