The Nursery is Finally Complete!

Well, here we are - one week until the due date! I just can't believe it. Wes and I finally got the nursery all done this past week and we are pretty happy with it. We have all our family and friends to thank for being able to furnish this nursery with everything Reese needs and everything we wanted to make it cute!

As you can probably tell from the pictures, the bedrooms in our house are extremely tiny, so we really wondered how we were going to fit everything in here and have enough storage for all the clothes, blankets, supplies, etc. Somehow we made it work! Hope you enjoy the pics!

This is taken from the doorway into the nursery: (it looks sort of like we have mint green blinds in this window, but that is just the house next door)

The changing table our friends Jennifer and Alex are letting us use. Great to have and great for storage underneath. The beautiful painting above it was painted and given to us by a dear friend in Nashville, Chanda. She gave it to us when we moved from Nashville because I loved it so much - little did I know it would end up in our daughter's room! It looks so great in here with the flowers and the pinks and greens. The words in the background are Galatians 6:8-9.

The doll on the left I got at my Buffalo shower was handmade by a friend here, Stacy. The bunny on the right was handmade by Nana (Wes's mom).

The frames are her initials, RW.

The "Reese" was made and painted by Aunt Ashley (my sister) and matches perfectly.

Buffalo baby shower

Wes played at an open mic night at Merge restaurant this past week, and he did an awesome job of course. He also had several folks from church and even one of our downstairs neighbors come out to see him, which was fun.

And here is my 38 week belly picture. Only two weeks till D-day, people! We cannot believe it. It could be any time now!

Yesterday some of my precious friends from Restoration Church threw me a baby shower! It was fun and lovely and such a blessing.

Here are the homemade cupcakes made by Jennifer. They are babies with pacifiers... although you might be like me and think they were supposed to be ducks (sorry Jennifer)! But either way, they were delicious.

The pretty tables and yummy food (some of it - the rest hadn't arrived yet):

I tried to get a picture of every person there so I could always remember.

Here are some of the girls playing one of the games. We called it the "smelly diaper" game and I actually requested it. It's where you melt different kids of chocolate bars into diapers and everyone has to smell it and guess what candy bar it is. It looks so disgusting and realistic and it is hilarious to see everyone sticking their noses into them!

I got 4 out of 5 correct, and I was so shocked that I missed one! I thought I knew my chocolate better than anyone.

Here are a few shots of some of the decor and gifts:

They had little bowls of Reese's pieces around - how cute is that? (for Reese, of course)

Opening gifts!

And at the end, Angela said a beautiful prayer for Reese and for Wes and me. It was really special.

By the way, Angela is a labor and delivery nurse at our hospital, so it will be so cool if she's there for the birth!

And these are the favors that were given out to everyone - little Reese cups!

We are SO, SO blessed to have such great friends and church family here in Buffalo. They blessed us beyond what we could have imagined, and we are so grateful.
