99 Days left! And nursery pictures

So I'm down to 99 days (yeah double digits!) left in the pregnancy! Or about 26 weeks.  From week 20 until now has gone by pretty quickly, and if there has been any point that I could say I've enjoyed being pregnant, it's been about the last six weeks.  I'm hoping that the rest of the time goes by just as quickly and as smoothly.   We started our child birth classes tonight.  They will be every Tuesday night from 6:30-9 until march 10th.  The class was really nice tonight, and already really helpful.  We also had a tour of the labor and delivery rooms and the recovery room.  The rooms are SO nice.  We will stay in the recovery room for 48 hours after delivery, and it has a queen size bed  and the baby stays in the room with us in a bassinet.   Our favorite part is that the hospital doesn't have a nursery, so the baby will stay with us the entire time.  All the tests and everything they need to do are done right in the room with us.


We have been hard at work on the nursery.  Nick painted, put together all the furniture, hung the curtains and valances and hung all my little "art" projects for the room.  We are very pleased with how it looks and hang out in there at least once a day.  



Above the curtains we've hung wooden blocks that I painted that spell out the baby's name, you can't see them in this picture because we are keeping the name a secret until she is here :)


The only things missing now in the room are a family picture that will go on the blank wall above the changing table/dresser, the changing pad and a floor lamp (for over by the rocker). And I guess the baby :)

You did a beautiful job. I must confess I clicked on the picture to see if I could find the name. :)
I especially love the curtains.
