The nursery

My parents, sister, and her husband got us a crib!  Luke put it together this morning.  It is so beautiful!  We couldn't resist putting on the bedskirt and displaying the quilt.

I'm finally starting to think of this room as the nursery and not just the second bedroom.

Baby Shower!

My sister is amazing.  She flew back into town and put together our first baby shower.  It was perfect.  The decorations were handmade.  The cupcakes were light and fluffy and delicious.  It was mostly family and like most family gatherings, there was a lot of food (buffet!) and laughter.  And we got so many cute and useful gifts!

It all still seems a little surreal.  It's hard to believe March 19th is only 9 weeks away!

Good thing my husband is practicing.  :)

Happy New Year!

We finally started on the nursery New Years Eve.  We went out and bought the paint (Benjamin Moore - calming aloe) and some supplies.  Luke's dad and brother came over to help and they were done after one coat in about 45 minutes!

It's a little hard to see in the pictures but it came out perfect!
