Nursery Update - Week 39

Dear Conor,

Your nursery really looks amazing - I can't wait for you to see it.  Last night your Dad and I hung the curtain rod (it was difficult to find a curtain rod for your room given your window size and so many seemed very feminine) and your navy blue sailcloth curtains.  I decided to get the light block curtains so that I could darken your room when and if we ever needed to.  I am glad that I made this decision because the curtains hang beautifully with the heavier backing.

Curtains from Pottery Barn Kids

Well, what do you think of them?  I haven't decided if we will get curtain hooks to allow the curtains to be pulled back or if we will leave them hanging like this - only time will tell.

I also took advantage of black Friday deals and ordered your duvet cover.  It should be arriving shortly.  We saved $17 because shipping was free!  I made up the big bed in your room last night with the dust ruffle (navy), the sheets (light blue), and the winter blanket (tan) as well as the uncovered duvet and the quilt.  It looks so inviting - I want to sleep there!

Doesn't the bed look so soft and comfy??  I just need the duvet cover to arrive and to pick up two more pillows.  Your Dad thinks it needs a headboard and while I agree with him I know it will be hard to find something to fit with the ceiling being so low.  So, we will take our time :)

I also took some more pictures of the nursery portion of your room to remember what it looked like.

I love how everything in your room ties together so beautifully!  Your Dad and I are very proud of all the hard work that went into your room. 

We also ordered your monitor this week and we have decided to mount it above your crib on a shelf so now I have to locate shelving for each side of the window (both your Dad and I like symmetry).  But first I am waiting for the monitor to arrive so that I know what type of shelving would work best.

Your due date is only six days away so we are in the final moments of preparation - I can't wait to meet you little man!
