30 weeks!!

I am just over 30 weeks now and we are so excited to meet our baby girl!! 10 more weeks sounds like a long time until we consider that we need to have things ready to go by 38 weeks and that will be the end of October.

I've been nesting in other ways lately. Sadly, it doesn't always involve cleaning my house but I have been really into other projects lately.

Here is one project we did this weekend:

When we saw how expensive wreaths are we just decided to make our own. It has some Aspen leaves tucked into it and I just love it. When I say we, yes my hubby actually helped. He's got a good eye!!

We also worked in the nursery this weekend. We finally got the shelves painted and put up. I keep changing the arrangement of things but this is what the shelf tree looks like with shelves.  The second photo is the diaper cart and dresser with the bins for extra storage.  

 This dresser is probably older than I am. I used it in my bedroom when I was growing up and we made it into a tv/entertainment stand.

We decided to only use one of the letters we painted and I dolled it up with some of the extra leaves that came with the birch trees.  To the right is the birch tree mobile.  The wood is carved into little flowers and it has lace on the top. 

 My beautiful diaper bag that my hubby got for me. He said he won't mind carrying it because it is for our daughter. I'm betting that he will end up using one of his camo packs instead.

I'm also working on restoring an old window frame that we are going to put up inside.  The paint was weathered and chipping (which was part of the charm) but I was worried about it flaking off everywhere, especially with a little one on the way. I also wasn't sure what type of paint it was so we stripped it and cleaned it all up. 

We also put up her regular bookshelf with all of her books but I have some artwork changes to make so I will post those photos once I get all of that finalized.  

Here is one more photo just for fun. I have been looking for some really cute printable elephants and messed around with this one today.  The room started out with an owl theme but it is more of a nature theme now with some owl items mixed in and now I'm finding myself just loving elephants.  We have  a few sleepers and some swaddling cloths that have elephants on them. 

Oh and here is a picture from 29 weeks 6 days.
