Nursery Update
JANUARY – ready for baby!
The nursery is finally completely and ready for our little girl, Lawson Grace. My mom made all of the crib bedding and the padding for the rocking chair. This is my favorite room of the house now and feels so calm and peaceful. I can hardly wait to bring our sweet baby home and take care of her here. Just a few more weeks to go!
AUGUST
Jason customized this buffet table today by creating a frame to hold the changing pad. Thanks, Craig’s List for this great find!
Popsicle break!
This last weekend, Jason and I started working on some of the furniture that we’ve found either on Craig’s List or at consignment shops for the nursery. I have to brag on my mom who found this glider at a consignment store in Little Rock for a steal!! It’s just going to take a little elbow grease and TLC to get it back to prime shape. Jason started this weekend by sanding and priming the rocker. We’ll pick out the final paint color next week when my mom comes to visit!
The dogs were curious as to what we were up to and kept a watchful eye. We’ve recently converted them to 100% outdoor dogs and Cole’s lost nearly 15 lbs! (Those pounds were long overdue to come off, by the way. She had gotten SO fat since Jason came into our lives 3 years ago!) I swear, she looks 5 years younger.
JULY
A couple weekends ago, we went home to Little Rock to see my family and came home with the crib as a gift from my mom! The very next weekend, Jason’s parents came in town to see us and Jason and his dad were able to put the crib together. It was really sentimental to have both families involved in giving our baby a place to rest. It has been so surreal to walk into that room ever since and realize that in only 5 short months, we’re going to have a tiny little person to put into it. A baby to rock to sleep and lay down into this bed. I still don’t think that it’s actually sunk in that we’re going to be real parents. Crazy.
Thank you, again to mom, Larry and Karla for sharing in our joy!
Some of you have asked how we’re going to decorate the nursery, what colors we’re using, etc. And we’re going to be a bit non-traditional.
Here’s the “look” I’m going for: (all white / off white). We still have a ways to go. But my mom’s coming in town soon to help me pick out paint colors and fabrics!
It’s beautiful! I love it! And your belly is cute too
I just now saw the pics of the changing table and chair! I love it!!!! I know yall are having so much doing stuff in the nursery this weekend!
Luv you
