Nesting... we're ready (as ready as you can be, anyway)!

Back, with impending arrival of Kasja, I was determined to personally sew all of the bedding, curtains, etc... for her room. I must admit, this time, I did not sew any of Mahala's room gear (although she did inherit some from Kasja). I did get obsessed with this weekender bag that I could use for to bring Mahala's and I JUST HAD to make before I would even think about packing a hospital bag. Let me tell you - this bag was a b!tch to make. Seriously. Broke lots of needles, even the foot for my sewing machine. But post hand-made piping, handles, pockets, etc... the bag is finished; and now packed! I am pretty proud of myself.

Mahala's room is all set too! Chris hung a special mobile that hung above both his and his mother's crib. It is made of painted wood angels that will watch over our baby while she sleeps. I found a special sign to hang above her rocking chair that reminds me of my childhood. Her blinds and curtains have been hung (not to mention all of the girly clothes in her closet as well). Bedding washed and every detail attended too (I think). We still have to plug in her monitor -- although, I am not so fired up about that; we will have two baby monitors in use (note: sudden moment of panic sneaking up...). Overall, we have all of the "stuff" ready, now are we? Exciting, crazy times ahead, here we come full speed (no point in hesitating now, right?!). I am very excited to meet and get to know little Mahala - see what she looks like, watch her little personality develop. Next Wednesday is the BIG day, unless Mahala decides to come early. We'll keep y'all posted!

(and I still have not finished hanging, ironing the clothes!)
