Because Amy DEMANDED them :)

Here are a couple of pictures (details on FB, since this blog is public and I don't want to give any stalkers info about this bundle of joy):

She was born with the ugliest little hands you've ever seen and I just love them! They are kinda big, and right now they are really wrinkled and very pale white. They look like the hands of an old man, I'm not even kidding. But the winkles are softening and they are looking more like normal baby hands. :o)

A quick tour of the nearly-finished nursery

Last night I created a video tour of the nursery. I actually just did it for myself, but N8 said I should share it with "the world". It's a silent video so I hope that's not too weird for folks (I don't like recordings of my voice).

The nursery is pretty much finished. Things left to do (which are not urgent):

(1) Put a dust skirt on the crib; I've got two on the way, in the mail (with thanks to Jennifer and to my aunt Lynda).

(2) On the wall over the crib that there's a bit of empty space. I've been thinking about buying and decorating wooden letters that spell out the baby's name (???) for that space.

(3) The closet is full of my clothes, which I need to pare down and organize (after I fit into them again, of course).

(4) Someday I'm going to reupholster the "kid chair" with the fabrics currently draped over it.

(5) Oh! And we need a baby! That would really complete the whole nursery :o)

Crib skirt?

I can't make up my mind. Your opinions?

Option 1:

Option 2 (look at just the skirt and imagine the stripes are brown instead of blue):
