…is now a room fit for baby boy (or girl. We kept it pretty neutral after the anatomy scan hoopla.)

All the credit goes to my mom and husband. I sadly don't have a crafty or handy bone in my body.

My mom painted the adorable critters on the walls. Notice the Clemson paws? My favorite part! :)

The nursery still isn't complete. We're waiting on the rocking chair that will live by Mr. Alligator and we need to put pictures in two of the frames.

We have to hang up the letters that spell baby's name under the shelf and fill the shelf with books. Speaking of, does anyone know where I can get cute bookends?

I love the way it turned out!

I can't believe this is going to be an actual baby's room! It still blows my mind. I can't wait to meet him. Err, actually I can. Hang in there at least 6 more days, little guy.
