Ready and Waiting and Waiting...

I decided that I am done "nesting" and ready to have a baby...yep, that's pretty much it. I finally finished the nursery (well, at least for the moment) I quite like how it turned out, cute country is what I was going for and I think I accomplished my goal! I guess I will explain a little bit about it since it took quite a bit of my time and efforts to finish

...well the end table that you see was originally a ugly disgusting brown 1960ish painted end table, I sanded it all down and this is what it looked like after it was sanded etc. It cost $5 big ones at goodwill. I figured if I ruined it, not a big deal.

Next we move on to the white ugly looking thing that was originally supposed to be a kitchen cuttingboard/storage thing, it was disgusting when we got it (real cheap at goodwill again) and I also sanded an painted this ol' thing up. You may be thinking oh my heck why green? Well, Brian and I decided to bring the green out in the room from the bedding colors so if we have a boy on our next round (if there ever is a next round???) it can be a boy/girl room together without looking too girlie. I am happy with how all the furniture and such turned out, it kicked my butt gettin' it done while being in my later stages of pregnancy, but I will be honest in saying that I was trying to help my body get in the mode to get little Alli outta me, it hasn't seemed to have done a thing.

Finished product of the end table, and I am also excited to rock Alli to sleep in this nice rocking chair...

Finished product of what is supposed to be used in the kitchen, we decided to use it for Alli's stuff and of course a TV for Brian since he so lovingly agreed to do some late nights with Alli (yeah for me!)...


Toy chest, I made the foam pad on the top, I will eventually put some of my dolls that I had when I was little on here...

This is what is hanging above the crib, I am planning on putting 2 more frames here after I have pictures of Alli...

What kind of mom would I be if I didn't try to instill the love of horses in my little girl...her buddies await her to play in the crib...Kaycee, Sis, and L.J. (my horses names growin' up)

Some cute pillows that I made to accent the crib...

Shot of the nursery all put together!

Last, but not least Alli's first real horse that she can ride when she gets bigger, this is an early Christmas gift from Grandma and Grandpa Snow, I'm sure Alli will love it!


Now all we need is Alli, when oh when is she coming? Hopefully really soon!
