The Nursery

With "D-Day" rapidly closing in on us, I finally realized that the nursery HAD to be done! So Ellen came over on Sunday afternoon and Monday morning and helped me (being majorly flair-impaired) get the room ready for Miss Elena. We used what we had, and I love the way it turned out! I walk by it and think, "Oh, my gosh, we could have a baby in there anytime!" It's kind of scary, but the room itself turned out really cute!

The crib and the changing table look great! Props to Josh for getting both put together right (with minimal cursing and fighting). The flowers on the wall were decoration at my church shower, don't they make cute decorations?! And the comforter from our bed set became a great wall hanging! This is the part of the room that I really look at and go, Wow, we're having a baby! There are even diapers piled up on the changing table... about enough for 2 days, but it looks like a lot!

Elena's very full (and very pink) closet! This girl definitely has more clothes than her mommy! We finally gave up and shoved the bouncy seat into the closet, but it'll come out when she's a little older!

A close up of the VERY cute diaper bag my aunt, Sarah, made for me! I love it!

With all of the really cute clothes she already had, Josh and I still couldn't resist picking out her coming-home outfit ourselves. So we found this really adorable purple dress. Now it's just hanging in the closet, waiting for coming home day!

While the girls were working on the nursery, Josh was putting the car seat in the the car, so now we have a nursery that's ready, and I'm driving around with a car seat in my back seat! It's pretty scary how real it is all becoming now! Not much longer...

Oh my gosh, the nursery looks so great!! Scary that she will be snuggled up in there before you know it.

I love the shirt you wore to the shower :) With the tank underneath, of course - what is wrong with maternity clothes designers and the low cut necks??

Love you! See you soon!

How awesome! I love the nursery! Isnt it amazing how generous people are??? I love the outfit you picked out to bring her home in...but there is a good chance she will be too little. Charlie was 7lbs 10oz. and ALL her newborn clothes we too big. She had one pack of onesies that were teeny and she had to wear those for the first few weeks. I remember that I couldnt wait for her to grow a little so she could fit into those clothes, and now I am getting out the next biggest size. I just want you to know I am SO excited for you, and I check your blog almost every day to see if there is any new news. I have LOVED hearing your experiences and relating to them 100%. Cant wait to meet this girl.
