Getting Ready for Baby

Over the long Labor Day weekend (and in preparation for labor - ha!) I decided to put together the furniture for the nursery! Everything looks adorable and I can't wait for our little girl to arrive and enjoy her new room! The crib quilt is being delivered soon and is my birthday gift from Ryan's parents! It was so nice of them and I can't wait to add it to the crib! We also received a beautiful glider rocker from my parents at my shower last weekend and we'll be putting that together soon. For now, though, I thought I'd post some photos of the crib, curtains and changing table. There will be more updates once the chair, bookshelf and a few other things are put into place. Let the countdown begin!

Nursery Update

The nursery is painted! We went with a soft yellow that matches the color in the curtain panels we ordered for the room and Lowe's did a fantastic job matching the color. I finished the final coat of paint tonight and now it only needs a few touch-ups on the trim/doors! We'll add more photos as we start to furnish and decorate our peanut's room!

Our closet has flooring!

Thanks to the hard work of my husband and father-in-law, we FINALLY have flooring down in our dressing room! It's still a bit dusty and we need to finish painting the room, but I feel like we're making progress! More photos to follow as we get the room completed.

Our First Baby Shower

This past Thursday, Ryan's mom and sisters threw me a beautiful baby shower. We still have quite a while until baby girl gets here, but since the family was all here from Florida, it was the perfect time! We had a delicious cake and received many wonderful gifts! Ryan and I are even more excited to welcome our little bean now that she has a closet full of clothes...and a travel system to ride around in! Thank you all so much for the wonderful evening! We love you!

IT'S A GIRL!

Yup...that's right! We're having a baby girl! She's 20 wks, 12 ounces, and has all of her necessary parts to be strong and healthy!

16 Weeks

We're still growing!! I feel as though I've had significant belly growth since my last photo 4 weeks ago, but my measurements show only 3/4" and 2.4 lbs. It will be interesting to see how big this belly gets!! Oh well - I'm enjoying every minute of it :-)

Amy's Baby Shower!

My dearest friend Amy is expecting her first child on June 1st (so soon)! I've posted some pictures to share. Her shower was wonderful and she received so many nice gifts! It made me very excited for my own showers to come! I got to spend this past Thursday with Amy visiting, seeing her nursery, taking a last minute trip to Buy Buy Baby and then, of course, out to Cold Stone for ice cream! We had a great day and I'm so excited to meet Baby Boy Quonce in the near future!
