The Nursery That Took Over My Life

So I've been MIA for three weeks. I've really been meaning to get here and jot a few things down. I've been really busy. I've had snowbird relatives come back in town. Ted had a birthday. My mother-in-law had a birthday. We've had two celebrations at our house. We had a new back yard put in. And I decorated the nursery.

Henry will be 4 months old in 5 days now, so I decided it was finally time to get his nursery decorated. He's been sleeping in a co-sleeper attached to our bed and both Henry and I will sleep better once he's no longer right next to me- when he is even a little restless at night I'm inclined to nurse him instead of allowing him to work his way back to sleep on his own. He is big enough that he ought to be sleeping through the night now, but I know that I'm working against it- time to put an end to that.

Those who know me know that I'm decorationally challenged. My house is painted in antique white with white trim in just about every room. My kitchen stands alone, but I didn't decorate it- my sister did. She's an architect. That room looks great. Everything else looks bland. Except for the nursery now.

I don't have the linens on the crib yet and the crib needs to be assembled- we received it yesterday- but here are the pictures:












Now that Henry will be moving into his own space, I'm hoping to start getting a little more sleep at night. I'm looking forward to that!

I have another random tangent halfway written. I'll post that after Father's Day. Hopefully I'll have a little more time to write now that my big renovation project is complete. :)
