Baby stuff...

Well I'm not making promises about keeping up to date anymore... it just isn't gonna happen! & then you all can be surprised when it does!! =) We've been busy busy around here getting ready for baby. Only 7 more weeks to go until Analynne's due date! YIKES!

Here is a cute little hat that I knitted... my brother in law thinks it's hilarious (not a good hilarious)... but I think she's gonna be stinking cute!! And matching booties! (I just finished the 2nd one.) This yarn was given to me by my grandma!

These are the first booties I knitted. Little red Christmas ones, for my little Christmas present!

My grandma came up a few weekends ago to help me paint the ugly green room PINK (of course!) We had to paint the entire room... it was YUCK before. Now it's a pretty pale pink with white trim and ceiling! Still need to get a new light cover thingy bobber. (whatever that's called).

I also got to spend a weekend with my mom and grandma, picking fabrics for bedding and for covering my new rocking chair! Here they are working hard while I watch! Ha ha...

Wa La! Toile covered glider and ottoman! It's a beauty... Thanks Mom & Grandma! (Or should I say Grandma & GG?!!)

These are the fabrics for the bedding "Grandma" is gonna make (my mom!). Sticking with good old black & white.... with some pretty pinks! I can't wait to see the finished product!

Analynne had her first baby shower on Oct 10th in my hometown, LaCrosse. My sister flew up from California to be there! It was so much fun, and I brought many amazing gifts home. I am so blessed to be from such a supportive and family-like community! My sister and grandma then came up to Bellingham and surprised me with my crib!! They put it all together for me! Isn't it beautiful!?! After that weekend I feel MUCH more prepared for little Analynne's arrival.

Nursery is almost ready! At least the necessities... a good rocker in front of a great view!

So needless to say... it is now hard to ignore the fact that we have a little girly on the way when you see a pink room basically right when you walk into our home! I find myself staring into the room sometimes... many changes about to come!

So thankful for the journey God has placed Aaron & I on. It is humbling to see how far He has brought us in just over 2 years of marriage, and encouraging to look back on His blessings, and His constant provision! We are praising Jesus for this opportunity to be parents, and seek to honor Him in how we love and raise our baby girl.
