I can't believe every thought, dream, or idea I had in my head for the past 4-5 months has finally come to fruition. Kyleigh's room is finally finished and it turned out even better than I ever expected or thought it could. I think I have so much fun doing nurseries because I take a theme and go way overboard with it. I was fortunate that my mom and dad had Cooper all week and it gave me a much needed break to work on a few things. They brought him back this past weekend and also brought the baby's furniture. We stayed up until 11:30 on Saturday night but once it was finished I couldn't have been any more pleased. Designing nurseries or children's rooms would be like a true dream job for me. I really hope that Kyleigh loves the room (once she's able to actually appreciate things like that)!
Now for the surprise baby shower......I am terrible when it comes to surprising me. I don't know if I am just really perceptive of things or just nosy but I can't ever remember a time when someone was truly able to surprise me.....until last weekend. I was approached by a good friend of mine, Juli, and asked to be a guinea pig for her new photography website. She wanted to put some maternity photos on the website and asked if I would be willing to model. At first I wasn't crazy about the idea but she promised they would be really pretty and tasteful. I agreed and we were on. Little did I know that the whole time they (my sister-in-law and friends) were plotting behind my back to surprise me with a shower. Juli picked me up to do the pictures at Amy and Clifton's house and once we got there I knew something was up. There were cars everywhere and all of which I recognized the drivers.....family, friends, etc. I was surprised enough when I walked in the door and they said surprise but to top it off they got my mom and grandma here the night before without me ever knowing. I was so elated I started to cry. I don't think I've ever felt so special and appreciated in my life......I've been so down lately because I haven't been feeling well and I haven't been able to get much done in the nursery or the house because of it. I can't begin to tell every person involved how grateful and appreciative I am for them individually for picking my spirits up and making me realize how excited I really am about meeting this precious little girl in my belly (even if she is causing me great pain and discomfort!!)
I'm not only including pictures of the room but a few from the shower as well so enjoy! And by the way....Juli didn't end up taking pictures that day but she came over this past Friday and took some...I can't wait to see them!
