The Nursery

Well, I think we are all set for Baby B's arrival.  Not only am I 37 weeks today, which equals full term (yea!!!), but I am feeling physically and emotionally prepared for this new chapter we are about to embark on together.  I have been asked by a few people to post photos of the nursery, so here you go.  I went with a grey, white, khaki and soft pink color theme and I love it so far.  I can't wait to add more treasures to the room as our daughter grows up!

Rocking bear was a gift from Scott's aunt.  The chair I ordered from Goodnight Room and you can supposedly wipe anything off of it with a baby wipe and it won't stain.  We shall see...  My Mom found the ottoman at a yard sale for $5 and I had a slipcover made for it by the upholsters down the street from our house.  The moses basket (Craigslist) and stand (Amazon) will be transferred to our bedroom when she arrives and will be stationed next to my side of the bed.  The bookshelves Scott and I installed and are filling up with so many wonderful children books and some of our own from back in the day.

This toy car was my Dad's as a child and he had it restored by our neighbor in eastern Oregon for us.  When I was a child it was yellow and we hauled all sorts of rocks and toys around with it.  It now stores my childhood Cabbage Patch Doll and a few new friends.

The picture on the left hung in my Dad's bedroom as a child and then mine.  It was cut out of a magazine by his Grandmother and I have the original letter she wrote to him when he was a baby.  She always wanted a red headed child and my Dad just happened to be a red head, so she was very pleased her wish came true a generation later.  The picture on the right hung in my bedroom and I just happened to come across it when going through items.

Above the changing table I have Scott's baby photo from around 7 months old and mine at about 9 months old.  I look forward to comparing our daughter's features to our own as she grows up.

The crib with the bedding I so badly wanted because it has stripes (my favorite) and had small touches of petal pink.  Thank you again to my friend Jenny for allowing me to use her designer discount.

The guest room potion of the room.  The room is long and narrow, so we still had plenty of room for our queen size guest bed.  I am sure I will spend plenty of nights in here so Scott can sleep across the hall in our own room.  The quilt was made by my Aunt Wendy and the "Mr. and Mrs. Bulloch" shams were a wedding gift.  Scott is still deciding if he likes them.
