Crafting or Nesting?

We'll Call it "Pre-Nesting" 

I like to think that I've started to "pre-nest" as of recently... You know, taking small steps towards achieving the goal of getting everything in order and baby-ready. I've been in full-swing crafting-mode with all things baby related. My recent endeavors include a paper chandelier for her room, a valance with the letter 'N' to be adorned above her crib, as well as my first paintings and what is the start of her baby book. For some reason, I feel like I can't continue with further steps into setting up the nursery until all of the details are ready to go. 

Mainly, I'm sure this is a step I'm taking towards buying time. I'm currently 24 weeks along and still have 16 more to go! I guess part of me feels like it's too early to be in full-swing nursery set-up mode. I know that it's not only going to take a lot of work to get it how I want it, but it will also be a major adjustment for both myself and Matt. Admittedly, we are very 'spoiled' and have our own rooms for our hobbies and things. As we set up this nursery for baby Naomi, we will be combining not only these rooms into one, but finding space for our office and guest room things as well. I know it probably sounds a bit petty, but it is a big change for us, and if we can wait until a more 'reasonable' time to finish the nursery (prolong the inevitable) it will be better in general. 

Another factor with the crafting of all of the little things and making sure the little things are 'good to go' for the nursery is convenience. Having all of the art and details ready will be a nice finishing touch once all the major moving and cleaning is done. 
Although it's overwhelming, I'm glad I've entered the beginning phases of nesting considering there is so much to think about and do. Not only are there many "big and obvious" things to think about, but also the many "small details" that will make our lives easier once she arrives. From preparing the hospital/diaper with the bag with the essentials to de-tagging/washing/and organizing her wardrobe by size and season. 

So, let the lists begin! Even with so many weeks to go, I feel like our days are numbered. We have not only the nursery to set up and house to prep, but also baby classes/education to consider; all of this amongst both of our birthdays and the holidays before the arrival of our little bundle. So, for now I suppose I will keep working on what I can. My goal is to finish her nursery art and be ready to set up the nursery around the first weekend of December.
