So… it’s done. The nursery, that is. PRAISE BE TO JEEBUS. Good timing too, seeing as we have about exactly 48 hours before have to be at the hospital (probably less but whatever). Tomorrow hardly counts anyhow since I’ll be gone in the morning at my last NST appointment and my mother in law will be here in the afternoon. Talk about under the wire! But it’s rather gorgeous, if I do say so myself.
The crib lacks a mattress and I just set the bumpers in there, but you get the idea.
The valance was a pain in the arse to put up and those diaper cakes are just too precious to unwrap.
The bedspread is in the washer still, the Boppy finally has a cover and I’m still not 100% sure about the quilt on the wall.
See those letters? I painted those mahself.
The walls are a real pale pink above the wallpaper border and a pale taupe below. It’s really a nice effect. You can see the rest of the nursery pics over in my flickr photostream if you are so inclined.
In other (related) news, I got TWO packages yesterday! One was from longtime online pal and frequent commenter Lisa. She is just such a sweetheart and has been holding onto this beautiful cardigan for a while, wanting to give it to me. Thank you SO MUCH, it’s just perfect. I love the little purple flowers! Kile, when he saw it, was equally impressed. For he now knows the value of these adorable cardigans because Babies R Us charges a small fortune for them. Leave it to a man to think that way.
The other package came from Miss Zoot. Part of me had to giggle as I was opening it, because of course as we all know, she is the real father of this baby. All joking aside, she is completely sweet and thoughtful and the adorable dresses she sent just OOZED her style (which, I’m sure you know, is a total compliment). I don’t even think these pictures do the dresses justice because they are THAT CUTE. I am vowing right now to put this girl in these dresses at every opportunity. Thank goodness we go to church. Heh. THANK YOU, Zoot. You rawk.
The one hat has a little bow in the back (aww!) and the yellow dress has the most adorable bow in back too. AM DYING.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
