is almost complete. We got the dresser today, thanks to John and Nikki. John and Steve went to Franklin today and picked it up. Then Nikki and I put away all the clothes and hung some pictures. The only thing that's lacking is the cushions for the glidder and the valance Steve's mom is making for us. Oh, and Elaina. I guess it wouldn't be much of a room without a baby to go in it. Here's some pictures of the progress. There's still a few little things that I want to add, but I'm not going to be stressing over them if I don't get them all complete.
This is a picture of the dresser. We will be using it as the changing table, so we will add the changing pad and the basket holds all the supplies for changing diapers.
Okay, I just had to add this picture. I know the drawers won't stay like this, but I just had to have proof that I was trying to be organized before Elaina's arrival.
This is a little pillow Mom and I found while out doing some Christmas shopping. I couldn't pass it up. I think it is so cute! It, of course, will be taken out once she gets a little bigger. But for now it works.
This is the monogram above Grandaddy's chest. I love the way it turned out! Here's a closer look:
And these are pictures of several of the outfits and things Elaina got for Christmas. I couldn't believe how much she got and she's not even here yet!
I had to put a picture of this bib my aunt Bonnie Jo bought for Elaina. I just love it! It makes laugh out loud every time I see it.
I'm sure by now, you can tell we are definitely getting excited about the arrival of Elaina. Steve even came in to check the room out during the USC/Penn State game today. We're on the final count down!
These two are from Christmas with my sister and family at my parent's house. It was the Saturday night before Christmas. By the end of the night, my feet were so swollen they were red. So, Emily and I just ended up spending the night. Steve had to go home because he had to go to a basketball tournament the next day. By he was concerned about me driving at 10 o'clock at night and feeling as bad as I did, so he told me just to stay. It really helped, and Emily and I just made a weekend of it and stayed all day Sunday.
This is from Christmas Eve night, we went back to my parent's house. My aunt Bonnie Jo came into town for Christmas and we wanted to be able to see her and mom open their presents. With the passing of my Grandad this summer, I knew this Christmas would be difficult for them both. My sister and I decided to give them a sentimental gift this year in honor of Grandaddy. I put together a shadow box for each of them with different pictures of Grandaddy and them throughout the years. They really turned out great, in fact, I'm a little jealous. I'm thinking about making one for myself. Here's a picture of Bonnie Jo with her shadow box (somehow, I didn't get a picture of Mom with hers)
Okay, so the next picture is not really my favorite, but I have to share just how huge I'm getting. I can't believe how big my belly is!
