Update on Ava's Nursery

Last week the bed skirt for the baby bed and the chair for her nursery came in on the exact same day...just let me tell you how excited I was! The things I get excited over these days are so crazy! We are still waiting on the bumper pad for the bed but I couldn't help myself to go ahead and set the bed up and her nursery. This past weekend mom and I also "made" the curtains for the nursery. When I say "made" I mean we went to Pottery Barn bought the curtain panels and then went to M's and bought the tassel fringe to hot glue down the sides of the panels. We are hot gluing pro's!!!! The curtain rods mom got at M's are absolutely beautiful too! They match the crystal drawer pulls on the hosier cabinet we had refinished. Its just all coming together and I could not be happier! The finishing touch will be the artwork Lindsey is going to paint that will go over her bed. We hope to have that finished over the Thanksgiving holidays. In the meantime, here are some pictures of how the nursery looks now.

Babies R Us weekend marathon

This past Saturday and Sunday I went Babies R Us crazy! Up until then I felt like I wasn't prepared at all if Ava arrived early but now I feel 100% better. A few favorite purchases on my shopping trip were:











Thanks everyone for hosting such a wonderful, fun filled shower! Allen, Ava and I sincerely appreciate all the effort that was put into it. We are so thankful for such awesome friends and family! Oh.....and the cherry on the top...MY BABY BED SKIRT IS IN AND MY CHAIR IS FINALLY HERE!!!! Once mom irons the skirt and I put it on the bed I'll post pictures. I am out of control excited how the nursery is turning out!
