Operation Nursery Prep

I'm sorry, it's been a week since I've made a post. The past week has been kinda crazy (when is a week not crazy for me??). So my mom and sister, Kelsey, came up to visit for a long weekend. It was awesome having them here. They were a big help! We cleared out, what is soon to be Jaxon's room, and began painting.
I chose a tan color for three walls and an orange linen faux paint for the fourth wall. Unfortunately, the faux wall didn't turn out so well. The instructions weren't clear and we ended up with dark splotches all over the wall. I am hoping I can salvage it because I really like the technique. It really looks like linen on the wall!
Anyway, it was a great kick-off to begin preparation for little Jax. The room is cleared, the closet is empty, and the room is being transformed. I'm ready to order his bed and bedding and get that set-up. There is still a lot to do!
On another note, I decided today that I am looking forward to Jaxon's homecoming. Obviously for more than one reason, but my reason today is... I'll be stuck at home! I'm looking forward to that time. Last week, I was only home one night and that night I was cooking for our office Thanksgiving party. It was a fun time, but I am ready to stay home for a change. (Make sure and remind me of this later!)

Oh My Gosh!!

How do people, mainly I mean women, do this?? I am starting to get all these consuming emotional thoughts racing through my mind. I'm not going to be prepared! I'm totally unplanned! Only 4 months left!!!!! When will I ever find time to complete a nursery? How will I know what I need, there are sooo many different options? How does one breast feed and continue to work? Should I stay home and for how long? If I continue to work, will I not bond properly with my baby? Will my baby not bond properly with me? Will I be making him sacrifice too much? Will I miss out on all his milestones: sitting up, crawling, walking, talking.
If I allow myself to continue we'll be here all night; but I think I've made my point. There is so much to do and just when I think I still have plenty of time- I realize I don't!! The first half of this pregnancy is already over and before long I'll be holding little Jaxon in my arms. Even though babies need nothing but love and care, I'm totally freaking out! I even asked my mom to fly up next weekend and help me prepare. I feel completely lost and I don't even have this little guy yet. Oh my gosh!!

I'm in LOVE!!

With my crib bedding. I absolutely love it. It is adorable, soft, and cuddly. I can't wait to get the whole ensemble and set up the our little guy's room. I actually only ordered a curtain panel, since I can only get this set online I wanted to be safe. I had read reviews that said it was the best of quality and a lot better than anyone expected, but again I couldn't see for myself so I was a little skeptical.
Well, I received the curtain panel and I am amazed. It is even better than I had expected, even after reading the reviews. The construction and quality are fabulous and the design is so cute. It is made up of various textures, like soft corduroy, baby fuzz, and regular cotton. It has a modern flare with straight lines and circles, yet it is still baby cute. I bought the curtain because, not only was it a small piece, but it had all the textures that the bedding has. Oh, and I did, or am going to be buying, the set I posted about in my Nursery ideas post. It's called NoJo Jungle Tales. To say the least, I am very impressed!
