Kinsley's Nursery!











Wow, we got so much done this weekend! I feel like we are so on-the-ball! But with the holiday's approaching and not knowing exactly when Phil might have his knee surgery, I would rather be ahead than behind on this one! Last Sunday, Philip and I picked out Kinsley's baby bedding pattern, and we were blessed to receive Pottery Barn Kids crib and changing table from our friends, The Scully's. With baby pillow in hand, we went to Home Depot on Wednesday evening to get our paint for the nursery, and here it is, Sunday night, and we are well on our way to completing a perfect bedroom for our baby girl! Everything...the colors, the furniture...is falling into place. BUT, we could not have gotten this done without help from our dads: my dad helped Philip paint on Friday and Philip's dad helped him assemble the crib on Saturday. I was able to add the bedding and some small touches in the room today, including painted letters with her name above the crib. I am unbelievably happy with the outcome so far! Is it normal to just sit in your future baby's room and just like that - it becomes the most pieceful, quiet, comforting, and favorite room in your house? Philip and I are loving every memorable step of this journey, and this weekend was a big turning point in making everything about this pregnancy sink in a little more!
