Nora Ella's Nursery

It is nearly complete, it is only lacking some butterflies hanging in the corner (which is on hold until we get some fishing line) and the lamp my daddy had made for me that should be ready this week! I'm now thinking I need a rug...but that will have to wait until I have time to shop again! Which could be this summer!!!

Bed Rest...It's a Good Thing.

Sleeping until 9 o'clock, eating butterfly shapped pancakes on the patio, not having to clean up right away, priceless. Thank you Dr. Aguayo for my bed rest.

Overnight Guests

We've been in our new home for 4 and half months now and while we have welcomed our parents as sleepover guests we had our first non-relative guests this past weekend. Rob, Luci & Will Davis came up from Birmingham to spend some time with us before Nora Ella arrives next week.

I've been on MODIFIED bed rest (basically meaning I don't have to go to work) since last Wednesday but I did spend last Friday running errands getting a few things for the house, i.e. a mirror for the bathroom that we've needed desperately and some things for our bathroom we just gave a cosmetic makeover to. So after my LONG day of running errands (in the rain) we met the Davis' at the VBC for a hockey game.

Hockey Game. I'm a good 9 1/2 months pregnant and Will is 8 months and yet Brannan thought a hockey game was a good idea...honestly do they think? It wasn't too bad except I hadn't eaten lunch that day and had to settle for stadium chicken fingers. Luci & I did end up leaving a little bit early with Will and the guys showed up at the house as soon as it was over.

It was a late night for all of us because we refused to go to bed because that would have interrupted our chat time. I was very pleased that we could offer up our Bumbo to Will when he needed to eat his snack, I guess that officially makes us a part of the parent club. Not only did we have a Bumbo but a cradle for him to use as well. It was really a nice visit and we loved spending time with Will. We aren't your typical "baby" people so it was nice to reassured that we can handle this.

Sneak Peek!

We've been working hard on Nora Ella's nursery! It's not finished yet, there are ALOT of small details to complete but I thought I would share with you a sneak peek.

Here is a picture of her new bumper pad & her sweet little lamb. My step mother-in-law is making all the bedding and drapery panels (thank goodness...I'm emotionally too unstable to sew for her). So far the bumper pad is all that is finished, but we should be getting the rest soon!

I'm excited! It's getting close!
