The Nursery is Coming Together!

I found some cute stranger to help put the crib together. He was very handy, I should keep him.
Here it is all put together complete with the bedding! Emma's room has a "Winnie the Pooh" theme.

The Nursery still needs wall hangings, shelves above the changing table, and mom is making the curtains to go with the valance. The room is done enough though if Emma were to arrive tomorrow. Below is a picture of the room to the left near the door.
This the far wall of the room. Soon the book shelf will be full of books. Being a teacher I own a lot of them.
Below is the right wall of the room. As you can see Emma is thoroughly blessed with many towels, wash cloths, sheets, and blankets of all sizes.
Finally, here is Emma's closet. She is already spoiled by so many people buying her beautiful clothes. She will certainly know she is loved by so many people around her. We know in God's perfect timing she will arrive, but we are anxiously waiting for little Emma. I must admit I am becoming less patient as my stomach grows larger and my due date draws nearer. I am glad that I am on maternity leave now because sleep is not coming as easy as it used to. At least I can take naps, I hear once our precious joy comes I will get even less sleep.

Emma is Showered with Love!


On January 3rd some friends put together another shower for me at the church. It was so much fun and I felt so loved. Emma is definitely going to be spoiled.





Here are some friends who helped put the shower together.

This is my Mom and Sister-in-law Beccy.

Below is a family friend, Jaime. She is 2 1/2 weeks ahead of me. My Dad and her dad have been friends since they were 3 and 5 years old. Then Her parents and my parents both had 2 children around the same age. It seems kind of Ironic that now Jaime and I are having girls the same time as well.

This beautiful cheese cake (almost looks like it was made for a wedding) made me feel especially loved because the top cake is Melisa friendly (No wheat and no corn). Therefore, I could stuff my face full of sweet dessert just like everyone else. It was certainly delightful.
