The Nursery

I have been waiting for a way to get the baby furniture up from Arimo. Back in June we bought some stuff from a lady in Rexburg from KSL. A crib with a changing table connected to it, basinet, swing, car seat, stroller, vibrating chair, high chair, and more! Our main goal was the crib so we were excited to get such a great deal. So Kevin, Rachel, family and mom came up for a visit. It was so fun to see them again and to take them around. To be honest, Joe and I don't do a lot up here due to expenses. So we were poor tour guides. But we drove around a bit, and stopped at some thrift stores, which they found some FANTASTIC deals for snowboarding gear. The boys, yes especially Kevin, were so excited.

The nursery, finally looks like a nursery! I still have some pictures to put up on the walls, but I am excited and even Joe has caught my excitement too. However, the crib didn't have all the parts that we needed (huge bummer and annoyance since that is the WHOLE reason why we drove all the way up to Rexburg, but whatever...) But mom had kept her cradle she used for us kids when we were babies. I have always loved it, and asked to use it as soon as we knew we were pregnant. So it will be perfect until Adaline learns how to sit up.

Rachel and Kevin were troopers and put up a laminate tree I bought. I didn't realize how intense it would be...like a puzzle putting all the branches together one at a time...

And it turned out PERFECT!! I asked my mom to pain some wooden birds I bought to put in the tree. Those will be added later, but this is how it turned out...

The bumper and blanket Stephanie found and bought for us. It is so adorable and perfect for our theme. I wanted to have the room decorated like a garden, with flowers, trees, birds, animals...we even are going to put a huge stuff frog in the corner that I bought Joe for our first Valentine's day. It will be colorful, fun, and girly  =0)

This is the basinet we will have in our room for awhile. The blanket was made and quilted by my Grandma Sarah Hebdon. She gave it to us for Christmas last year. I remember looking at it, loving it, but also thinking to myself, well, hopefully we will have a baby girl sometime! I guess Grandma knows best ;0) We love it and hope to keep it nice, a keepsake for Adaline to enjoy...

Thank you Hebdon's for everything!! We love ya and will see you soon =0) 

NOTING: that we also love the Bare's too!! They have given us so many things and we are excited to see them in Thanksgiving. It has been since Memorial Day when we saw them last. We have a fantastic family!! Love you all =0)

Baby Shower from the Ladies at Work...

The ladies at work threw us a Baby Shower. I say "Us" because they invited Joe as well. He is the CSI radiology student for the last 8 weeks of the semester, so they all know and love him too.

There were a few ladies that had to work, or other plans. But we had fun and enjoyed the yummy homemade treats. They also served tomato bisque and grilled cheese sandwiches...hit the spot!! Here is a pic of those who came. The second from the left is my Manager, Kandis Pedersen-Romero who also had a baby boy this July, Christian.

The theme were owls, so adorable!! They had cupcakes decorated with owls. A banner with baby clothes (also having owl prints). They asked me what I would like to be given, and I replied "I know it's boring, but we have so many clothes. We would really like to get DIAPERS". So they all brought a package of diapers, AND also clothes, blankets, bottles, baby needs.... The girl in charge of the shower gave us some clothes, but also stuff for the hospital stay, brilliant!! It was so much fun =0) I am so lucky to work with such wonderful people, and that I love what I do...

When I arrived (I hurried and threw on some clothes after work and ran out the door) they all exclaimed "you do look pregnant!" LOL my scrubs that I have had to resort to (the OR blue scrubs from the hospital) fit like a tent, and it's hard to see ANYTHING in there. So Joe, once again, loving that growing tummy, requested a picture...

And of course, Silky loves that tummy too. She has been SO attentive since we found out we were pregnant. She is always laying across that tummy, and giving Adaline love squeezes with her paws. We will see how much she likes Addie when she arrives. We are hoping for best friends...
