We are waiting for Colin to arrive any day now.  I am 39 weeks and two days pregnant.  The midwives say everything is well, but I sure would like to be over the insomnia.  I know I'm not going to get much sleep with a baby around, so at least I should be able to stock up on sleep now, right?!

I'm done decorating the nursery.  In this first picture you can see the baby's initials, a hot air balloon mobile that I made out of mostly fabric remnants and modgepodge, the crib, and a chair with a quilt made for Robert before he was born.
I sewed the valances matching and crib skirt myself since I couldn't find baby things in the colors that we preferred.  For some reason, all baby decorations in stores seem to be in pastel colors right now.  Since the inside of our house is off-white throughout, I figure we could use some more saturated colors.

Anyway, I'm pretty proud of the way the valances and crib skirt turned out- and that I used every inch
 of fabric and the fringed lining that I bought for the project.  The fringe part looked pretty delicate so I ended up sewing it all on by hand which took a few hours.
Below are a few more details from the nursery:  the rug, the vintage wooden airplane I got from goodwill, a close-up of the mobile.

And here is a video tour of the room.  The music you may hear in the video is coming from the copper hot-air balloon music box playing "Fly me to the moon".  Oh yeah, and here's me standing outside the birth center. 

This is probably my last post for a while.  I'm feeling good about everything and ready to have my little boy in my arms!
