Completed Nursery Update

Even though I've had my nursery done for about two months, I realized that I still hadn't made a final post of it. I really tried several times to get some good pics of it, but the size of the room made that really difficult. These were the best that I could do:

The Chandelier

(that replaced the ceiling fan)

Crib and Wall Decor

Close-up of Name Decal and Paper Butterflies (that I handmade)

Changing Area

Close-up of Butterfly Mobile (made by me)

Baby Rocking/Reading Corner

Tissue Paper Pom-Poms (also made by me)

Small White Chest

(replaced oversized chest)

Framed Vintage Pattern Envelopes

&

Recovered Lampshade

So you see that I did a few little projects for the nursery. I wanted her to have some handmade touches in there. Click here to see how to make the paper butterflies on the wall.

Now we just need our little, baby girl to make it truly complete.....though we prefer for her to wait at least a month before she decides to make her debut.

Baby Shower

Three of my awesome friends and my wonderful little sister threw the best baby shower ever for me a few weeks ago. All of our friends and family who helped us celebrate made it such a special day. And as Greg said " Ellie Kate struck baby gold". Here are some photos from the day:

Thank you to everyone who had a part in making this shower such a wonderful event!!

Maternity Photo Shoot ( picture HEAVY)

It's been 4-ev-er since I've updated the blog. Whatever, I'm pregnant in Memphis in July. I should get a pass on everything.

I got back my maternity pics last week, and I'm finally getting around to posting some of them. This are some of my very favs:

That's as many as I can get into one post. I'll post some more of the pics later.

Our photographer was great. I was amazed how many great shots she got, especially considering I was a sweaty mess. Check out her website Life in Arcadia.

I also had my baby shower a few weeks ago. All the girls hostessing and the guest made it an amazing day. There will be a baby shower post coming soon too.

Hope everyone one is having a great summer!!
