Show us where you live Friday~Nursery

Today is "Show us where you live Friday" over at Kelly's Korner. The many who follow her blog know just what I'm talking about. This week it's all about Nursery's and Children's rooms. So I'm gonna share a little of my babies room. No baby in there yet, but I'm working on getting it ready for her. Here's a look....

The view looking in to the bedroom.



Her cherry finish sleigh crib and pink ladybug bedding.





The wooden letters that spell out her name still need bows tied to the top of the ribbon. But I think they turned out pretty well. It's amazing what you can do with Mod Podge and scrapbook paper. I plan on making more for my other kids bedrooms as well.



The bedding in the crib



Her round night table that I covered in brown with pink/white fabric. Below the table is the stuffed animal bin I made and wicker basket I spray painted pink holds tiny toddler books.



The table just holds a princess lamp, a cute lil' froggy night light and a pretty pink frame waiting for her sweet picture.



A little bookcase that holds various baskets filled with little socks, bibs, bows, hats. On top is her first piggy bank and one of her ultra-sound pics.



Top of the changing table and beside it is our guest bed. The babies room was once just a guest room. I'm leaving the bed in there since I have no where else to store it. It might come in handy if I want to take a nap close to her crib.



A better view of the guest bed.





Inside the cabinet stores all kinds of changing supplies, lotions and potions.



Check out her personalized pacifier. I love anything with her name on it.



One of the drawers is filled with onesies, little pants, gowns, burp cloths and extra diapers.



The other drawer is filled with hooded bath towels and her shoe collection.



Here's some of her little shoes I was putting away in her dresser. Some of these are from when my 13 year old girl was born. They are still in good condition enough to pass to this one.



Her closet also doubles as storage for my craft supplies. So it's pretty full, but I do have her clothes hanging up.






The playpen will eventually be moved to the living room, but right now it's set up in her room. I just love, love these colors. I'm getting the matching stroller & car seat this week. Hopefully the swing and highchair will follow.




The little white shelf that hangs in her room. I didn't know what to hang from the hooks so I just put two cute bibs I had of hers there. One I had embroidered with her name and the other is princess.



I painted ordinary wooden frames white and added pretty scrapbook paper for an easy picture to hang on her wall.



The pretty, pink, baby bouncer I hope she'll love.



The Winnie the Pooh little baby swing I'll probably use upstairs and the big one downstairs.



The extra car seat I picked up in case we need it for another vehicle. It's filled with toys right now because I don't have another place for them all just yet.



Some pictures I hung on the wall are of tiny little yellow booties and a knitting a friend made me that I placed in the other matching frame.





That's it for now folks. This room is still a work in progress but it's looking like a babies room more everyday. Hope you enjoyed the tour.

My Ultra-sound at 31 Weeks

Today I went in for my last ultrasound they tell me. I'm at 31 weeks and nearing the final stretch. I took my kids along with me for this one so they could experience it for themselves. They loved getting a look at their new baby Sister on the way. She was moving her hands and mouth while we watched. The tech measured every part of her and says she looks healthy. I was told she already weighs 4lbs 10 oz. I knew she was going to be another big baby like my other two were. The doctor says she's gonna be on the bigger side of the scale come delivery day. About 8 or 9 pounds he thinks. Ouch! I hope she comes a little early then so I can enjoy a smaller baby. Here are the exciting pictures I went home with. I think she looks a lot like her my Daughter when she was a baby.



Look at those long legs she's got stretched out in there.



Her little legs crossed and the umbilical cord wrapped near her feet.



Her little toes. (The bubble on the right is part of the placenta, not another toe LOL)



We were trying to get a look at her fingers. I swear she opened her hand and threw us the rocker sign. She those two fingers sticking up in the middle of the pic? I think it was a shout out to her Daddy who's a big rocker himself. I think she might take more after him now. We'll see if she's a real Daddy's girl soon.



It's always exciting to see new images of the baby you're caring for soooooo long. Now we wait till we are able to hold her to see how cute she really is. I can't wait.

Some of my latest creations

I've been working on new projects everyday at my craft table. I've had a lot of inspiration from other blogger friends. Everyone is just so crafty and creative that I had to do a little myself. Mainly I've been making things for baby Maddie. Here are a few things I've made.

I took a galvanized steel bucket, spray painted it white, lined it with pink & white fabric inside, added ribbon and her name on front and wah-la!



A storage bucket for her stuffed animals she'll be collecting.



Making her hand-sanitizer cute and pretty when it sits on the changing table.



Blinging out her baby pacifiers.



Sewing several pretty burp cloths.



Making cute Lil' baby signs to Welcome her to her room.



Covering baby wipe cases and giving them a little extra flare.



Lastly, decorating plain wooden letters to spell out her name on the wall above her crib.



The nursery is almost complete with all this and more. I keep find great ideas from your blogs that I know I'll be busy being a copy-cat until I deliver. Keep those crafty projects coming.

My Living and Dining Room

Welcome to my livingroom! I'm so behind in posting picture's of my house. Over at Kelly's Blog she asked us to post pictures each Friday of various rooms in our house. I've already posted pictures of my kitchen (scroll down) so now it's my livingroom. It's a work in progress constantly, but this is what it looks like currently.



This is the view of our fireplace that we use A LOT in the Winter's.



This is the TV area of the livingroom. It's a fairly large space so it's divided by our couches.



Our living room connects to the dining room.





The diningroom is basically an extension of the seating area in the livingroom. We even use the laptop at the table instead of keeping it at the desk. My kids like to be close to the TV so they can surf the net and watch their shows.



And there you have it! Our most used living space in the house. It's not much, but it works for us.
