Today was our due date!
and baby really does make three
So our little one is finally here, our sweet little Morgan! Scott and I are getting to know her better every day. Not only does she look like him, but she seems to have inherited his best qualities... she's not too terribly fussy when things don't go her way, she's incredibly patient and understanding, and she loves to sleep! Scott and I were thrilled this morning that Morgan slept happily in her own room and crib all night! Can we make it two for two tonight?
We are truly blessed and thankful. God is always looking out for us, and I see more and more every day that he has a great plan for us (now if I could only learn to trust him a little more instead of making my own plans!). Here's some pictures I wanted to share from the big event. I hope to be able to keep more news coming.
All 22 inches of her!
Daddy changing the first diaper. What a pro!
Getting ready to go home.
All strapped in.
Here we go!
because doesn't everyone want to know how we decorate?
A work in progress has finally ended. And we are glad! Some of you have been asking to see pictures of the baby's digs, and well... we're able to finally give a reveal.
Here's the inspiration for our kid's room... the Hanna Quilt Cover from IKEA. I ripped it apart and sewed it into a crib skirt with one box pleat on each side. Bought some plain sheets, and voila! Instant decor.... and decor that I love. I just couldn't bring myself to like all of the animal-printed, cutsie-wootise things found in most baby sections of the stores. Even Pottery Barn couldn't sell me on their baby gear. It's just not a part of who I am, I suppose, and I walked around for a good seven months feeling guilty and wrong for sticking my nose up at that stuff. But in the end, Scott and I are both happy with our choices, and when it comes right down to it, this is our house, our family and our life. And so, this print is where it all began...
It was easy to find the paint once we settled on the fabric...
And here's the shot-by-shot of how the room got underway. Scott had the brilliant idea of doing a horizontal stripe, and I must say, it's his best decorating idea to date! I absolutely love it.
The room finally came together on Saturday. The furniture is arranged, the art and pictures are hung (even though some of the frames are waiting photos) and there's a rug on the floor. With less than two weeks to spare, it's finally done. We're both very proud of our work.
Thanks for looking!
