Week 36

We have good news in the Montgomery household...the Nursery is FINISHED!  This makes for one happy momma to be :)


I have also had a little extra time and energy to make my little man a stocking!  Next, I just need to get it embroidered! 



 

Overall the slipcover was a hassle but it is soooo soft!  This will be wonderful during late night feedings :)

Baby M's footprints from 1 month to 1 year will be on the middle canvas...so we can watch him grow! 
 

Changing table all ready :)  Now we just need a Baby and pictures to put on the chevron canvas!

What I'm looking forward to this week?  Looking forward to our first Birthing class this week.  We should learn a lot hopefully :).  Also, excited for baby shower that's coming up in 2 weeks!  Progress in the nursery is coming along:  I started making a slipcover for rocking chair and a growth chart...hoping to have those finished within a week.  Then I only need a rug and wall accessories!  I will post pictures as soon as I'm finished!  *Sometimes I think, why must I DIY EVERYTHING???  But then I just adore the personal touches and love we have put into our sweet babies room. 

Lastly, the Henry family lost a beloved member of 16 years recently.  Petie was such a good dog and we will definitely miss him!
