blogging has taken a backseat of late with all the tasks i've been wanting to accomplish. when i look at my to-do list it's overwhelming, but then i remember they are things i enjoy doing and it takes a bit of the stress off. i just have to remember to prioritize and the blog has not been a priority of late.
first off was throwing a baby shower for my sister-in-law which went great. she then threw one for me and i was blessed with so many beautiful and generous gifts. as a result i have been spending lots of time in the nursery washing/unpacking/organizing. want a peek?

| as far as decor goes i've been re-purposing pieces we already own for the most part. i made that shelf in middle school shop class. the baby pics are us from our first year. i thrifted a few pieces of material and cut up some old sheets for the no-sew bunting i made (which i also hung at my sil's baby shower). we received a lot of repeat items at the shower so we were able to make some returns and pick up a few organizational items for his room. i know there will be plenty of rearranging in the next two months but i am happy with how it's coming together. |

| baby boy's book collection is growing and we received a few lovely books from friends/family. including this one from my thoughtful cousin - i've thoroughly enjoyed perusing it. thinking about which pictures little boy will attach himself to and remember as those 'big moments' (which really aren't that big at all) we all can recall from our own childhoods. and of course this a-mazing book. |
i have a few projects i'm finishing up - one is a mobile to hang over the crib and the other is a piece of art for over the crib. i'm trying to cajole josh into letting me use a little chalkboard paint there - i've had the paint for months but he is hesitant about chalkboards on walls, for some reason. silly boy. i told him it's much safer than hanging a picture above the bed.:)
i leave you with a song we've been listening to non-stop. while making dinner/washing dishes, on the way to work/on the way home from work...
the second verse gets me every time. i can't wait to watch my husband become a daddy.

i recognized the shelf right away! everything is coming along soo well. i love the bunting. i want to see a picture of the crib---or are you waiting until you get something put up above it?
i enjoyed the song...i have never heard it before...i can see why the second verse gets you everytime. <3.
It looks so great!!! Congrats on your new addition coming! That's so exciting!
Love the baby's room!
I've heard that song several times since Jaclyn discovered it. However, I must say, its monumentally better while watching the video.
Oh, I absolutely love that song! I'm going to bring out my ben folds music which I haven't listened to in years--oh nostalgia!
