Nursery Rhymes

Good news! At my doctor's appmt on Monday my BP was high, but not higher. So he is allowing me to work a few more weeks. My last day of work will be Feb. 13th. And today I saw my general physician who used a manual BP cuff and my BP wasn't even high, so praise the Lord!

In order to create the nursery we had to move some of the previous owner's furniture in the basement in order to make room for the guest bedroom furniture in that basement room in order to create Poppy's room in the former guest room upstairs. Confused? Me too. But thankfully we had some great helpers who made the process of switching around 3 rooms of furniture only take about one hour.

Poppy's room is still a work in progress, so I photographed some of my favorite elements to share rather than the entire room. You'll have to be patient on those photos.

Here is a tribute to our dads who are both in heaven. The verse is a Psalm about a father's love. Larry and newborn Josh are in the top pic and David and newborn Donna are in the lower one.


This is my grandmother when she was a baby.


This is an exquisite piece of artwork that was done by an extraordinarily talented artist. In case you can't read the title, it's "Where Does the Sky End?" by Donna Christenson, grade 3. I think it's worth well over $10,000.


Fun shelves with fun stuff on them.


The quilt my mom made out of embroidered squares from her baby quilt.


And here is another belly shot. Whenever I wear this random pink shirt I feel it shows my belly REALLY well. I've given up on finding the "best angle" for these pictures b/c I feel as big as a house no matter how the photo is taken! Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful as it means Poppy is healthy and growing.
