Cherishing Crib Moments

So Happy to have Grandpa Jim and Grandma Cookie here for a visit. It will always be a special memory that They helped with the nursery and that Michael and Grandpa Jim put the bed together.
The blessings continue to overflow and we cannot wait for our baby girl's debut!

Nursery Progress

Here is our nursery progress...

SO this is what the room kinda looked like before...

these are all the boxes that our good friends Kelly & Craig
are so graciously allowing us to store in their attic! We are so grateful!!!!

The sheep is the crib bedding... and the bunny is one my mawmaw made for me a long time ago... but the colors and fabric choices are KINDA the feel of where we are going. (o:

This is the changing pad cover.

The room all cleared out! Praise God!



you can see where everything went! into our living room!

Our sweet friend Tonya came over for a painting party! She was awesome and had the whole room rolled within one hour! Thank you Tonya!

My love painting the room for his baby girl... too sweet.

Tonya was too busy to smile for the camera. (o:

okay... before any of you FREAK OUT.... this is a posed picture.
although i had clearance from my doctor... we used low voc paint, and i actually did paint that spot (before it was rolled)... and was only in the room for about 15mins before i sat down and watched! It was too exciting to miss!


the finished walls! It's hard to see the true color...

it's called Dutchess Lilac in behr paint...

...i love it!

Michael putting on the finishing touches.



her purple trunk we painted to put her toys and blankets in. (this was black and we used it as a coffee table for those who have been to our apartment in the past)

My sweet friend Morgan came over and helped paint the dresser!
Even though she was new at painting she did an AWESOME job!
We are so blessed to have such awesome friends!

the finished dresser! well... finished painting.
Once again... hard to see the color but it is a very light lilac.

I am loving where this is going and cannot wait to see the finished product!
