The Nursery Just Got A Little Smaller

After a great Saturday spent with friends from college, our church in Birmingham and various other places, we returned home with a car full of goodies for the baby. The best part was catching up with dear friends and spending time with family. On Saturday, I saw all six of my bridesmaids from six years ago-which is no easy task!

The nursery that previously felt huge, seems to be a little smaller now that it's filled with a pack and play, rocking seat, clothes and many other brightly colored baby necessities. We received a perfect balance of practical and cute, girly gifts. It now looks more like a nursery and thanks to our generous friends, we're almost ready for her arrival.

The drive home on Sunday was fun, with a loose rattle jingling in the backseat every time we hit a bump. Now, if we could have somehow bypassed the UK fans and SEC basketball tournament traffic in Nashville, it would have been about an hour and a half shorter.

We are so grateful for all our friends who have supported us along the way and are celebrating the upcoming arrival of our little one with us.

The yellow bookcase made the trip to Louisville from Birmingham.
In its previous life, it was in my childhood room.
It will be painted white in the coming weeks.

This tasty treat is a Sara Marsh original and was delicious - leftovers
didn't last very long, especially after learning that I passed my glucose test.

Aunt Tanner made the trip!

Seeing my favorite little man was another highlight of the weekend.

Crafty, crafty

In searching for a cute mobile for over the crib, I found the perfect one on etsy.com, but, it was pricey. Inspired by my sister, I decided to do it myself. I turned to the cabinet in my office that is bursting with paper and ribbon from weddings, showers and other random festive occasions. It ended up costing me less than half of what it would have cost on etsy.com.
