This weekend marks a big moment in this process for us. We have had M's room painted for almost 2 years now. I picked out her bedding before we chose the paint colors. I made curtains a few weeks ago. We have been "ready" for a LONG time. That being said, it got REAL this weekend. My parents came this weekend to bring her crib (so generously lent to us by my sister and brother-in-law). Kevin and my dad set it up and my mom and I got all the bedding washed. While I was outside with the dogs, my mom put all the bedding on. I walked into her room and had to collect myself. THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!!! After all this time - all the prayer, all the tears, all the excitement, all the paperwork, fundraisers, and all-the-while relying on God to do what he does best - it is here!
God-willing, in a few weeks, we will be a united family of four. Words cannot express how excited we are for that!
Here are some pictures!
The bedding was chosen long before we knew if we would have a he or a she. I added some feminine flair with some spunky curtains :)
Soon there will be a beautiful baby girl in there!!!!
In the meantime, Wiley has lovingly offered to stand in :)
Her growth chart (custom-made by Grandpa L) is ready to track her as she grows! The pink board is both decorative (because I had to put pink somewhere!) and functional as it is also a photo board.
Looks great Laura! Looking forward to seeing all of you over Christmas and meeting M! :) Love you guys, Aunt Shelly
