Paisley's Paisley Room


A couple of weeks ago...before we were snowed in for a week...my mom and dad gave me the SWEETEST gift for me and the new baby.  They helped me paint the nursery.  I had originally wanted to do something with Paisley's on the wall to honor her fun name, but the farther along I got I just couldn't imagine trying to get on a ladder and paint all by myself!  I usually do my nurseries around 6 months, but this time I was moving each girl to their new room and Jules to a big girl bed.  So, time got away from me and I just gave up on my cute nursery idea!  Well, my mom didn't.  She called and insisted that her and my dad were coming over and the three of us would paint paisleys on the wall!  They came over and we spent the day doing just that.  We had a great time and the wall is just so much more precious than I could imagine!  Here are some pictures to show you the nursery.  I have since then finished painting and decorating, and as soon as I have the bedding in place, I will give you a tour of my third and final baby nursery!  


I really can't thank my parents enough for their help!  They are just so giving of their time and help to me and I appreciate if more than they know!  My littlest girl is already so lucky to have such wonderful grandparents and she isn't even born yet!

starting to take shape

Papaw was the touch up man.  Anytime Mimi or I made a mistake, he was right there fixing it.  It was so nice to finish the project and not have to go back and do the NOT FUN touching up of paint!

We did 3 different paisleys.  A red, green, and pink. 


the pink paisley...you can see that the red stamp is a little P

the finished wall

It already looks SOOOOO different with everything I have hung up.  I can't wait to show you the finished product!

Surprise, Surprise

It's a Girl!!!!!

We went to the doctor yesterday and found out that our third baby is another girl.   We really could not be happier.  We know girls, we love girls...and we are thrilled to just add one more to the mix.  We now have our own sorority or cheerleading squad right here in the comfort of our own home!

Here are some reasons why we are BEYOND happy with another girl:

  • There is just not any room for trucks and action figures in our play room
  • I have 13 bins of girl clothes that are in great condition just dying to be worn again by another precious girl
  • I am no where near ready to sift through those clothes and consign them...so it is better that they just get worn again and I can consign as we go
  • I won't have to drastically change my baby nursery.  It is already set up and I can now just tweak it to make it special for #3
  • I will not have to change a boy diaper in front of my girls and have to explain what that strange THING is to my 4 and 2 year old
  • I think we only need to buy diapers at this point and we are set.  Maybe just a few more bows! 
  • Seth's fan club will now be complete.  Jules is still the president, but Seth welcomes all girls to worship and adore him into our family.
  • We get to throw 3 weddings one day!!!  (This could also go on the con list, I guess...$$$$$$$$$$$)

So, anyway, we really are so happy that the baby appears to be very healthy and growing perfectly inside of me.  I am growing too...just not as perfectly as that sweet baby!  :)  We are blessed to have another girl and welcome all the drama and love that comes along with that!  Wish us luck!
