Since I am now on maternity leave I am in full nesting mode. I've been working hard to clean and organize the house (especially the nursery) so that everything will be ready when Echo makes her big debut. I finally have the nursery cleaned and most of the baby things put away, at least it's one room in the house that is ready! I feel like so much love has gone in to this room and I am so grateful to everyone who contributed, especially those who made items for the room with their own two hands. It makes it such a special place and it radiates warmth and love. Here is a little tour around the room :-)

| View of the changing table area (my dad's old childhood desk with a changing pad on top). On the end nearest the camera I have hooks storing my travel changing pads and a beautiful handmade bag by my friend Aileen which is currently holding extra cloth diapers. |
 |
| Overall view of the room, it was dark today so the lighting isn't great but you get the idea |
 |
| Echo's toy shelf, complete with handmade pillows spelling her name from my friend Joanna |
 |
| Handmade blanket under the changing table along with her other blankets, wipes and hand sanitizer at the ready, extra diapers, covers and diaper cream hanging above the changing area. I also installed an led touch light above the changing area for nighttime diaper changes. |
 |
| More diaper storage, extra wipes and baby toiletries |
 |
| art for Echo's room, the bottom one was a wedding gift from a coworker and the top one is an original watercolor I bought in Puerto Rico (Echo's first trip overseas, even though she was still in my tummy) |
 |
| Wooden shelf for holding small toys, I also put our wedding cake toppers on here so mommy and daddy can watch over her :-) |
 |
| The quilt hanging over the rocker was made by one of Eric's family members for us, the rocker was one that my mom used to rock me on as a baby and she and dad refinished it for me. We added a little clip lamp for reading and you can see my awesome diaper bag to the left of the rocker. |
 |
| My shelf of children's books and a cute cloth covered box which is currently storing her nice baby blankets. |
 |
| Crib with baby quilt from my friend Mary and a mobile made by one of Eric's family members |
 |
| More art, these are all from etsy. |
I'm so excited to have Echo's room all ready! Can't wait for her to get here!
