Blake's Nursery

Thankfully Blake's nursery is all ready to go. I had told myself that by December 1st we'd be prepared to have a baby and I'm glad I set that deadline!

I just left Grant's nursery up until we knew Blake would be joining us and then I did change out the curtains, the crib bedding, and a few things on the walls. I wanted it to feel like Blake's nursery and not Grant's. Poor Blake will be getting hand-me-downs his whole life so I wanted him to have a room that felt like his and not a hand-me-down. Not that he will know or ever care but it was a good excuse to have fun doing a little redecorating. ;)

I am terrible at taking pictures of rooms but hopefully this will give you a little idea....

I had the crib bumpers (yes, I use them and I know many of you don't but I'm not really scared of them until baby starts using them as a step to get out of the bed!) and crib skirt made and love how they turned out. Green argyle on one side and modern blue and green polka dots on the other. My car seat cover is actually the same polka dot pattern and I love it. So cute.
Uncle Craig and Aunt Jessie sent that cute monogrammed boppy cover so Blake won't have to use the one that has "Grant" monogrammed on it. Haha! Thanks guys!

His sweet monogram above the bed...

I put wrapping paper behind an old window frame and then wrote the words to "Twinkle, Twinkle" on it and hung it up above the book sling. Love those book slings. Such a cute way to add some fabric/texture to the room and functional to hold books! May have to get another one. Love.

My sweet Aunt Janice (who incidentally is almost finished with her chemo treatments for breast cancer this month - can I get a big AMEN!) sent this awesome Graco Sweet Peace swing for Blake. A friend (thank you, Dana) let me borrow hers when we had Grant and it was a lifesaver! Hope Blake likes it as much as Grant did.

And that's about it. Now we just need the baby but hoping he waits just a little bit longer to check out his new digs. :)
