Preparing

For a long time, we were so nervous to prepare our home for baby.  If you've suffered through any heartache, then you know that it's hard to soften your heart.  You guard and protect it.  Setting up a nursery has always been a dream of ours, but we were always so afraid of walking by the empty bedroom and feeling the anguish each and everytime we realized it wasn't our time yet.  We were also so nervous to buy items in fear that we never got our baby.
We finally feel like it's time and you get a SNEAK PREVIEW!!
The fabric is part of a four piece set that we purchased when we first started the adoption process and is no longer available in stores.  We were lucky to find that the fabric matched some paint samples we had fallen in love with awhile back and had forgotten about.
We are thinking blue and cream stripes on one wall.  Orange and red mixed in the bookcase and also on the cushions on the rocking chairs.  It's still a work in progress, but we finally have a plan!

 

We also got our lovely diaper bag, a gift from Mom.  It had to be something that Shane was willing to carry around and needed to be gender neutral.  We LOVE it!
