What's left to do in the new baby's room?

In a word, lots. :) But little of it has to do with the new baby's actual room.

(Pictures at the end of the post!)

At this point, the baby's room is nearly done. The ceiling and walls have been painted. The wood trim around the window and both doors (entry and closet) has been removed and replaced... and painted. The closet has been painted. The carpet replaced. The corded wall lamp has been removed and an overhead light/ceiling fan has taken its place. Both doors have been taken down and are being painted little by little. Ben has been switched to a big boy dresser, and the dresser/changing table is now in the new baby's room.

So what's missing, you ask?

Um, the crib. Just a small detail. Somebody isn't ready to give it up yet. Somebody enjoys playing on his big boy bed (which just happens to be a very fantastic fire truck), but wants nothing to do with sleeping in it. So, somebody will stay in his crib awhile longer. Squatter's rights, if you will. I really don't mind, honestly. It would be nice to un-crowd Ben's room and to finish setting up the new baby's room, but it's not that big of a deal. Baby #2 will be in our room for a least a few weeks after he is born, and that gives Ben at least another month or so to get comfortable with the idea of sleeping like a big boy. Plus I hear nighttime regression is common when you bring a new baby into the picture, and I want no part of Ben climbing into bed with me during my precious few minutes of sleep in between nursing sessions.

So what's left? A little transitioning from my bigger boy. And perhaps something decorative for those bare walls! Oh, and the curtain rod and shade. Anyway, here are a few pictures...

Dresser with new changing pad cover:

Closet with new wood trim, ready for its freshly painted door! (And yes, we'll eventually find a new home for the vacuum cleaner, but this closet has been its home forever!)
This lamp will sit directly behind my "nursing chair," which is also still currently part of Ben's bedtime routine. Not nursing, just reading in the chair. Once I can gracefully get myself off the floor, the rocking chair in Ben's room will be replaced with a cool bean bag. But for the moment, the idea of climbing up from the floor is overwhelming! :)
...and finally, this adorable pack and play will (hopefully) soon be replaced by the actual crib that presently sits in Ben's room. But you can see the sheets and the comforter, at least!
You can't really appreciate the colors in these pictures, but the walls are "River Reed," which is a pastel kind of olive color... and the carpet is a grayish blue. It's a great match for the bedroom set we picked.
