Nursery Pictures!

We have been working on the nursery for several weeks now...when you are on bed rest, you find that you can only do one thing per day. This makes weekend projects drag into month-long projects (much to a husband's delight). I will say, taking our time on it has only fueled my creative juices. I find myself obsessing over the smallest details (shocking, I know) and working, then re-working, design plans.

Ironically enough, directly after our wedding, I commented to my grandma that I couldn't believe the gestation period for humans was only nine months...having just spent 21 months planning a wedding, I was lamenting over the fact that I would have *only* nine short months to plan for a baby. Ha! The time can't go by fast enough. Even still, it's been fun to play around with ideas and really take our time on it.

 No, I didn't paint the tree myself. I found this great decal shop out of North Carolina that specializes in trees, and they were more than happy to customize my tree vision. Was it hard, you may ask, to stick a 6'x6' tree on the wall? Well, Brian summed it up best. As we labored over this tree last weekend, he turned to me and said, "If I'm not a good person in this lifetime, and I die and end up going to Hell, this is going to be my job down there. The devil is going to make me stick damn trees on walls for the rest of eternity as my punishment."  I love the way it looks, but it definitely requires patience and nimble fingers. (My insanely long prenatal fingernails came in quite handy).

Also with the tree came an entire flock of little decal birds that were much easier to install. The birds were like an addiction to me...I found myself being drawn back into the nursery to attach one bird...and then another bird...before I knew it, there were birds everywhere.

And, if you look carefully, a little bird escaped the nest.

Your nursery turned out lovely. You forgot to take a picture of the closet shelves and cute little baskets full of clothes! Lucky little Baby B.

Kim---nursery looks amazing! Great work! You should prop the book, "The Giving Tree" up on his dresser. Shel Silverstein.

A man must be willing to die for justice. Death is an inescapable reality and men die daily, but good deeds live forever.

    About Me

    Think of this as the epilogue to Bridget Jones' story. Well, mostly. Bridget marries the handsome lawyer, starts a blog while on bedrest, and decides marathon running sounds like fun. Bridget goes through a divorce but keeps running. Hilarity ensues.
