Baby Room Success!

The Records to use for decoration in the Baby's Room!  Love them!

The Baby Room, sideways.  Sorry I couldn't get it to rotate on  my computer :-)

So this last weekend was a HUGE success.  Even though we are still trying to get the paint fumes out of our nose it all went swimmingly.  We became "Officially Active" in the adoption system on Monday(4-23-12) so it has been an exciting week.  Below I have posted a picture of the baby room.  The crib came in yesterday so after we get the carpet replaced, hopefully early next week, we are going to put that bad boy together.  It looks so adorable and we are so excited to fill it with a little one.  I also got these super cute children's records from Ebay for $8 from the 40's and 50's they are adorable and look amazing in the baby room.  Can't wait for our little project to be all finished.  Anyway, here's the update :-).  Ali

He's Got The Whole World In His Hands...

Yesterday evening while Mitch and I were relaxing in the hot tub and talking about the fact that we are going to be officially in the "pool" of adoptive parents probably by Monday he did the sweetest thing. There was a brief pause and he started singing He's Got the Whole World In His Hands. He kept inserting adorable baby references (he's got our little baby, in his hands, he's got their little tiny feet in his hands). It was beyond cute. Then today I went and picked up all the paint for the baby room. We decided to get a dark gray and a bright green for the primary colors. So excited to start painting tomorrow. We are both so gung ho. Whoo hoo! Pictures to follow :-)

The WONDERFUL WORLD OF BABY!

So Mitch decided he would treat me on Sunday after our lovely Easter gatherings with family and we headed to Babies 'R Us...Boy oh Boy.  It was funny not even five minutes after we walked through the door he said, "Man, there is a lot of stuff!".  That's not even an exaggeration at all!  I could tell that we both were super excited to start getting this nursery started :-).  It was funny though, Mitch decided we should take the motorcycle over to look so that we didn't come home with anything.  Such a smart man, he knows us so well!!  Anyway we picked out the furniture that we like and the bedding so now the fun part begins.  Not that the paperwork was not a blast (insert sarcasm here), but we are ready to move forward towards more exciting things...Pictures below are of the furniture and bedding!  Also, if any of you lovelies know of things that are a MUST have for a baby, please let me know.  This is uncharted territory for me...A bit overwhelming.

SO I saw this article, thought I'd share

During the past couple of days here at the house I have been avidly looking at articles and thinking about this new nursery project I intend to begin ever so shortly and I came across this tidbit.  It made me chuckle because it could not be more of a reflection of things to come with Mitch and I...Me always being the intensely emotionally invested and Mitch trying to take things in stride.  Thought you might think it is interesting.  Funny thing too the lady who wrote it is from Pittsburg, KS!!  Hope to be posting more this week...HAPPY EASTER :-)
