I can't believe it's September already! Where did the summer go?? Although we didn't have any big plans this summer, it still seems like the past few months have gone by pretty quickly. But in some ways that's a good thing--it means October is only a few weeks away! I'm looking forward to being able to paint my toenails again and to not feel 10 degrees warmer than everyone else in the room. :)
We added a few final touches to Baby's room... I was going to make curtains, but fabric was either way too expensive or we just didn't like it. So we checked Bed, Bath & Beyond and found a couple curtain panels that were perfect--light blue with narrow brown and cream stripes running down. I'm still thinking of adding a blackout liner, and I don't love the valance that we put on, but that can wait.
Bedding was the last thing we needed, but we didn't want to buy a packaged set, especially since we wouldn't use all the pieces. So we decided to just do something simple to match the curtains. I found a king-sized sheet set that was the same color of blue, and the top had a wide brown strip with a thin cream one in between--a perfect match! And since it was already hemmed, it was easy to measure and cut it into pieces to make a bedskirt for the crib. It's a little messed up in the picture, but it fits great and it hides the hinges, which is all we wanted it for. :)
Other than that, I think we're ready for him. We've been telling him he's allowed to come a little early, but we don't know yet how obedient he is!
