The baby's room...

Look at that handsome daddy-to-be getting the crib all ready to go.  Matt has been on house project mode and I can't thank him enough for all of his hard work and dedication at improving our house as best we can for our little one.

Jax is not thrilled to be kicked out of the only room in the house with carpet.  But don't worry, he has a big fluffy bed to lay on, and I know he is going to be a great friend to our girl.
This is the almost finished product!  I am going to add beautiful big red window shades that will add another pop of color and darkness for those bright afternoon naps, also I can just push them to the side and let the sun shine in.  The 5 animal painted canvas' are courtesy of my mom, the art teacher.
These two are my favorite... our dogs, of course!  They sure are cute!
I LOVE this corner of the room.  Our lovely rocker, that my mom and Steve got for us and the start to our baby's book collection.  We have some books from when we were kids, plus the new books my softball girls gave us.
Also a beautiful knitted hat for our girl to wear during her first winter.  The purple hat (in the box on the right) has white clouds on it and my brother-in-law's mom made it!
Also, I stayed up till midnight on Friday baking peanut butter cookies and white chocolate macadamia nut cookies. Woah are they good.  Turns out it's dangerous having that many cookies near a pregnant lady.
I feel a big sigh of relief now that we have our girl's room looking more and more like her room.  The to do list is still around and every week if not every day we have something new to take care of, but I will say through it all (even the days I don't feel so great) we are just. so. excited!  Last night little girl was moving and grooving so much it woke me up.  It is amazing to be able to feel her move so much, I know she will be an active little one for sure.  Thanks for stopping by my blog!
