The Nursery is Complete!

My mom finished the letters for the baby's room and came over today to hang them up. Grandma and Grandpa Hovey came over too ... Grandma helped me and mom while Grandpa hung out and enjoyed some coffee. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE how it turned out and I'm so excited! It's exactly what I envisioned for the baby! Mom also picked out one of her favorite photos from our session at McCrory Gardens and had it framed for us. Now we just need the baby ...




I'm so fortunate to have such a talented mother. I cannot thank you enough mom ... I love you!

Goodbye Pink!

Dustin and I got the baby's room painted yesterday. I'm so happy to be rid of that pink and purple striping! The new colors are Jekyll Club Veranda Yellow and Fennel Splash ... basically yellow and green. Or as my mom put it, very modern takes on traditional nursery colors. Right up my alley! In the next few weeks mom will come in and take care of the accoutrement ... we're going to do the alphabet as a border with wood block letters.

And this is the bedding set that we picked out

We also picked up the travel system (car seat and stroller) and got that put together. I would say we're pretty much ready for this baby ... at least I hope we are! We only have about a month until he or she arrives!

Getting Ready for Baby

I am now 30 weeks (only 10 more to go), so Dustin and I thought that we should at least do something to let people know that we are preparing for this baby! We headed out on Saturday and got ourselves this nursery set. Grandma and Grandpa Beringer (aka Jeff and Cindy) helped us with this little purchase ... Thank you so much!!

Dustin and I are quite the furniture-assembling team. We have a nifty little system in place, so this took no time at all. And we didn't have any arguments either! :)

Dustin hard at work with the dresser. I helped with the drawers!

Crib is almost finished!

Here's the dresser ... now we finally have a place for all the clothes that Jeff and Cindy have sent us!!

The finished nursery set

The next step is to buy the bedding set that I've had my eye on for quite some time. Then Mom is going to help paint (at least I hope you are Mom!). I cannot wait to get rid of that awful striping!
