Ella's Room

I have been meaning to post pictures of the nursery since Thanksgiving, but I haven't done it yet. I guess I've been busy or lazy- I'm not sure which one. We still have decorating to do, but here are the most updated pictures. I am happy to show you the furniture that we chose and the finished walls. Thanks for your input about the crib, as you can see I definitely listened to your feedback!

This is the bedding we decided on and you can also see my new stroller!

Our sweet neighbors gave us this bassinet and my aunt gave us that bouncy chair, a car seat, and 2 bases. I didn't anticipate getting any hand-me-downs since all of my sisters are still having babies, but we have been pleasantly surprised by the people who have thought to share their old baby things with us. We are very grateful for all of the kindness people have shown us.

Here is our adorable changing table! We'll fill the empty basket with diapers and put her blankets and other diapering things on the top shelf.

My New Love...BABY CLOTHES

I LOVE baby clothes. I have spent so much money on clothes for our baby. It is hard to imagine that when I was first pregnant I really wanted to have a boy. Don't get me wrong, I would love a boy and I will be thrilled to have a boy one day, but right now I can only think pink. The week of our ultrasound I started thinking that I'd better prepare myself just in case we found out we were having a girl (even though no one thought I'd have a girl so I was pretty convinced we were having a boy). We went to baby GAP and even then I was so drawn to the boys section and didn't really see anything I liked for baby girls. Now I don't know how I could have ever thought that. I still love little boy clothes and enjoy looking at my little nephews' clothes, but nothing makes me as happy as adorable baby girl clothes. I'm addicted!
