Just Checking In

Yes it has been too long! I took a holiday break ☺ I usually write by inspiration but she needed a rest and I’ve just been way too emotional. Over the past weeks we have tried to stay calm and just enjoy each other. I believe we officially entered the nesting phase during the holidays. We did more decorating and bought baby apparel. I’ve been trying to get things together at work in preparation for my parental leave. Even with all of the excitement and preparation, we still keep getting, I’ll call them “reminders” that this is a faith journey. These past weeks and have been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster. But we have CHOSEN to believe and to stay positive.

So this post will be very light. I’m going to share pictures of the baby’s room (before and after shots) per the request of my Aunt Jean. I also want to give a shout out to Mike at the Ferguson Fire Dept, who showed us how put the car seats in our car. He was awesome. He told us we could come back and he would clean the car seat for us because sooner or later it’s going to smell like a foot because of the spilled milk. LOL! He also told us that they have the car seat we need once the baby is one (or 24lbs). It's only 20 bucks. Who knew? He was a blessing today. Enjoy the pics!


Thanks Mike!

The Baby's Room - Before

Our friends Greg and Kiota came over to help us paint the baby's room before the holidays. This is Greg and Ted hard at work. Greg worked his sock off. lol!

I was ready to work with my painting clothes. Greg let me paint maybe enough to get one full rotation on the paint roll. That's it!

Here is Kiota. Showing her painting skills. Not really. It was just for show :)

The Baby's Room - After

Can't wait to see our little Teddy Grahams in his room.

And my baby. My grown baby. Put all of this furniture together.

We're still working on this wall. Thinking of saving it for keepsakes or a hutch.
