Update: I played around with my camera over the weekend and learned some new settings so I re-shot the pictures of the nursery and updated the pictures below. Enjoy!
One of the first things I started thinking about after I found out I was pregnant was the nursery. But before I could even figure out what it would look like, we just had to figure out where it would be. We're in a 3 bedroom house and we have to have an office for my work and ty's school. That meant if we wanted a bed for guests, we'd have to combine the nursery and guest room. Did I mention these bedrooms are tiny?

Well, we figured out what room the nursery would be and then it was on to the fun stuff of cribs and bedding and all that goes along with it. I am amazed by these girls that get pregnant and have their nursery put together when they're 15 weeks pregnant.
That's. Not. Me.
Considering we didn't find out it was a boy until week 21, I was a bit behind on the nursery. I fell in love with a crib that they said would take 20 weeks to get in when I was 22 weeks pregnant. Do the math and that obviously wasn't going to arrive before our baby boy was born. Luckily, my mom was so nice enough to let me use her crib until mine arrived (3 weeks ago)! Jack did surprise us 2 weeks early...and I was going to get a lot of stuff finished in the nursery those last 2 weeks!
Well, it's FINALLY all put together and here are some pics. I LOVE it. Not sure if it's exactly what Jack would want (would he pick out slate seersucker?), but I spend alot of time in there and I wanted it to be my favorite room in the house. I wanted it to be very light and happy.
We had to fit alot in the room so we did the best we could. There's just enough room for it all (not much extra). And we are so happy with everything we ended up with. I know that I will constantly be adding and changing things as we go, too.
Hey Lindsay! I'm totally creeping on your blog here, but I looooove your nursery. So sweet and so perfectly little boy-ish. :) We are expecting a boy in November and also naming him Jack...too fun. Just wanted to throw this out there...if your Jack starts to be a little earlier of a riser than you want (maybe after he's 6 months or so) you can try covering up the arch window in his room...it added about an hour to an hour and half of sleep for us when we figured that out!!! Take care.
