Nursery

We've got the baby's nursery all put together....we think. Crib - check, dresser/changing table - check, rocking chair - check, clothes/blankets/burp rags washed and put away - check, toy box ready with toys inside - check, boppy - check, diapers/wipes/butt paste ready to go - check, 5 million other little gadgets and things in their "proper places" - check, it feels like we have it all put together, the last thing we needed to do was put things on the walls (aside from actually having the baby...but that's a given right?). To start we hung the wonderful quilt that my friend Sara made, above the crib. We hung "baby" in wood letters on the wall, but we were at a loss for what to do on the rest of the walls. My aunt Kathy gave us the inspiration we needed. She gave us a framed photo of my great grandma, who was a nurse way back in the day, holding up a newborn she helped deliver for the dad to see for the first time. It was a really special gift and it helped us figure out how to decorate the rest of the room. We put up frames of black and white baby photos of us and the baby's grandparents along with sweet baby quotes like: "Babies are like tiny blossoms so eager to grow." and "A new baby is like the beginning of all things, wonder, hope a dream of possibilities." We don't have all the photos gathered yet, or all the quotes in the correct sizes, but getting the frames up and to get an idea of the photo layout was huge for us. We love how it's all come together! Can't wait for her to arrive ....now is the only time there will be any semblance of order in there we're sure, but hey we'll enjoy the cute pink cleanliness while it lasts! :)
