Final Tour of the Nursery!

Mom and I finally finished Gage's nursery this weekend, and I just love it! It turned out so cute, and way better than I expected. As you can see, we have hung the picture frames, but can't put anything in them until the little man makes his arrival! Hopefully that won't be too much longer! Let me know what you think! ENJOY!!!!




I don't think the poor child is deprived of clothing...what do you think?

Our dresser came in!!

Yep...you got it! BABIES R US called today to let me know that the dresser/changing table had finally made it! I am absolutely thrilled! I called Michael and insisted that we MUST make a trip to Little Rock to pick it up tonight. Being the wonderful husband that he is, he agreed! We also made another stop by Hobby Lobby to get the little wicker baskets to go on the shelf. I was worried I wouldn't be able to find any that would work, and they fit perfectly! And...to make the night even better, the baskets were on sale for 50% off!!! This is why I LOVE HOBBY LOBBY!!! They always have good deals! We had every intention of coming home and having to assemble the whole thing, but to our surprise, it was already put together! What a good night!! The nursery is coming along really well now, so I'm sure it won't be long and it'll be all ready for Gage to make his appearance! I hope he loves it! Thanks for the dresser MeMe!!!

Moving right along...

I made my weekly trip to Hobby Lobby yesterday to buy the letters for Gage's wall and had planned on painting them sometime this weekend. Well...I couldn't wait! I wanted so badly to start on them, that I went to Wal-Mart at 9:00 last night to buy the paint! I have a bad problem with patience and when I want something...I WANT IT NOW!! So, I stayed up half the night trying to get them just perfect, and in my opinion, they turned out GREAT! Here they are! Tell me what you think!


Speaking of patience...the dresser still hasn't made its way to me. I'm not too happy about it, but I suppose it doesn't do any good to be mad, so I'm "patiently" waiting. I'm thinking maybe this is God's way of teaching my a lesson in life that I certainly need to work on before my little one gets here...ha!

It's finally here!

It has only been a little over a week, but it seems like an eternity since we ordered Gage's bed and dresser! The bed came in today and we eventually got it put together. The dresser on the other hand, did not. Hopefully it will be in by the end of the week. We had a few minor problems out of the lovely folks at BABIES R US, but we managed to get things worked out. Here are a few pics of Baby Gage's new room! Tell me what you think!

This is MeMe and Pawpaw trying to put the crib together, but some of parts were missing...Imagine that! I had to make another trip to Little Rock to exchange one of the pieces before the crib could be finished!


Daddy trying to finish getting the crib together by himself...I don't think I was much help. I'm not too much of a handy man...ha!

Here I am trying to get the bedding just perfect for my little angel! I wouldn't want him to have to sleep in a messy bed!

This is a close up of the bedding! I just love it!

And this is the finished product! It turned out perfect and I am so happy with it! I can't wait until Gage gets here so I can spend lots more time in his sweet little room! By the way...Thanks Grams for the new crib!

I know this probably looks like a mess now, but I still have work to do. My aunt gave me the rocker, and I am going to paint it and recover the cushions. The little wicker stand has to be painted as well. Eventually I will have it all finished and post new pics!


21 Weeks! I haven't been doing very well on posting new preggo pics, but I am working on it! I am 21 weeks and 3 days now, and feeling better than ever! Gage has been kicking like crazy and I believe he gets the hiccups about 3 time a day...usually in the middle of the night! It is so funny how different things feel from week to week. I'm getting bigger by the minute, so apparently he is too! We still have 3 more weeks until our next ultrasound, but I am interested to see just how much he has grown!

Gage's New Wardrobe!

Last week I wrote about going shopping for Gage, and I have just gotten around to hanging up all his little clothes! I didn't realize that I had already bought him so many things until I got them all hung up together! I wanted to share a few of the little outfits with our Blogger friends!!

This is a view of his clothes hanging in the closet...needless to say, he won't be going naked!!


This is one of my favorites! He will look just like Daddy in this one!!


If you know Michael, you know this will be perfect for Gage to wear! His Daddy is quite the charmer! ;)


After the ultrasound last Monday, my mom, grandma, and I went shopping for little boy clothes! My grandma found these little shoes for him (among lots of other things) and they are just precious! I can't wait for him to get here to meet his Nana and Papaw...he will love them!!


After lots of thought, I have decided on this bedding for Gage's nursery! I couldn't seem to make up my mind, so I went to BABIES R US to look around, and realized that the bedding was on sale for only $72, so I was SOLD...I couldn't believe it was so cheap! Meme(my mom) and I decided that it will be so cute with baby blue! I hope he enjoys his room as much as we are enjoying getting it decorated! We are going next Friday night to order the bed and changing table and I am so excited! I can't wait to see how things look once we are able to start getting it all together!
