So, it is 11:50 pm on Tuesday night and I'm so exhausted, and want to sleep, but my mind and baby are in disagreement with me. She is having another gymnastics meet doing stretches and rolls gallore, everytime I lay down my acid reflux gets horrible, and all I can think about is how I'm not quite sure I like the way I've arranged the furniture in the baby room. HELP! I think I'm going a little crazy. I know it really isn't that important, and I can always change things later, but I can't stop thinking about it. Here's the dilema - cords - those dang cords. I want to plug in the lamp to the outlet the the lightswitch controls so that I can turn on the light with a switch, rather than finding the knobs to turn it on/off, but that means having an extension cord that will be seen. Yes- this is a major issue in my mind right now. If I move furniture so the lamp is by the correct outlet I have other cords that will have to be stretched and seen. Also, the outlet isn't completely covered by the dresser and what will I do when the baby starts crawling and wants to grab those cords. Man, I need to figure this out now. This is the mind of a "nesting" mother. I know I have lots of time before she will be crawling and into things, but I think I need to fix it NOW - like TONIGHT! Hmm, do I go wake Jerry up a second time? (The first was to have him help me move the dresser to the other side of the room- it HAD to be done tonight. For no reason other than it was bothering me before and I really wanted it moved tonight -couldn't wait till tomorrow.) For some reason I don't think he'd be too willing if I woke him up again. No matter how I arrange it I'll have to see cords and this is stressing me out more than it should. Yes, it's pathetic I know. PLUS we haven't really put any decorations on the wall yet, but how can I decorate the walls if I might be moving the furniture around? It might not look right! This is all too stressful. I need to find some other trivial thing to think about.
On a positive note, I am excited about the curtains and baby blanket I made last week. I found the bumper and ruffle on clearance and was so proud of myself for saving so much money - but then I couldn't find any material to match for curtains and a blanket until last Monday. Hooray for JoAnn's. So here are the pictures of our unfinished nursery that I'm not too sure about, but you can see the cute blanket and curtains. Not a perfect match to the bumper pad, but pretty darn close.
Oh, won't it be nice to have my sanity back again someday? She is coming in 6 days!!! Sanity will probably take a little longer than that.

You are just the cutest and sweetest mother. I love that about you. I love how concerned you are and I think the new nursery looks adorable!! :) I wish you the best of luck the next few days -- my older sister is due on the 7th. It's a stressful time for her too.
Just know -- I love ya and I need to come visit this new little one! :)
I'm so excited for Monday!!! I think the nursery looks great! If it makes you feel any better, Ethan has a big ol' nasty cord in his bedroom, and Alex hasn't even noticed it. I think Home Depot has a cover you can tuck down in the corner to hide the cord, or you could just get a "clapper" lamp. That would be a nice gentle way of letting your baby know you're coming! Clap on..Clap off!!!
Sarah you are so funny. Those curtins are so so cute, oh the joys of decorating a little girls room:)Don't worry about the cords, we've all got them. With a multi level house do you think the baby will really spend much time crawling around in her room? Jake doesn't. Well good luck with everything and I will look forward to some cute pictures of the new Ewell.
Don't you just love the nesting stage. Marc never really quite got how important was for me to have everything ready. I love the polka dots, super cute!
YEA!! It's almost time!!
We have somethings for you... be expecting a package before the end of the month. :)
