Scarlett Madelyn's Nursery Reveal... still a bit of work to do but this is my progress thus far.

I knew that I wanted something organic, original, and mostly white. Or, at least this is what I intended when I started to create the nursery for my second daughter, Scarlett... she'll be here in 5 weeks or less! Eeek.. 

This bed skirt, is a decoration from my baby shower that I wanted to find a way to incorporate into the room decor. I realized that I still needed a bed skirt and will eventually make one- but until I have time for that this one will do just fine. 

Plus it matches her lace and fabric hanging mobile. 

There is something sweet about her simple white crib. 

More decorations from  the baby shower and Sophia's birthday party that I wanted to incorporate. 

I knew I wanted to use white frames in her palate, and I also knew I wanted to paint something just for her.. and this is what I came up with. 

Sweet little feets. 

This poor mirror has been so many colors, I bet it hopes that white is its final color. I think it suits its style well. 

I still need to find the right knobs for her dresser. Ikea was the cheaper way to go, get something unbuilt, and unpainted and its about 1/2 the cost. 

Sophia's Princess Celebration

Last night I felt that her kicks were only a dream, that this little life inside of me was only a dream. And then I awoke, heaved myself out of bed which is becoming some challenge. Its amazing how 25 frontal pounds can throw your entire body into a heavy out of shape shock.

While I have so much more to prepare for, I find myself merely using the time I have to get the bare minimum done and then rest. Before this pregnancy I was full of energy and could never seem to wrap my mind around why other people were so tired at times. Now I know. 

I'm exhausted, pretty much all the time. I suppose that it is a great deal of work for your body to make a new life.

Lately her kicks and moves are painful, she must have her daddy's big feet and long legs. I can't recall Sophia's moves being so painful, although that was nearly 4 years ago. 

This weekend is Sophia' 4th birthday party. Since baby Scarlett is due on Sophia's birthday- June 20th, I decided to make the wise decision to celebrate Phia's last birthday as an only child, a month ahead of time. 

So I've finally finished my finals, go through the mess that was my own baby shower,  enjoyed a baby moon, and am now preparing for Sophia's princess birthday celebration this Saturday. 

My last big blowout celebration with my only child, my first child, my first love, I can't help but tear up when I stop to realize that its not going to be just her and I anymore. 

For so long it was just the two of us, and I have to admit although it was hard, I loved it. I loved to love her. 

And now, though her little life will soon be turned upside down with change it is still so sweet to think of giving her a sister. The friendship and memories I hope for them to share, play time and dress up and boys and prom and school. What a wonderful, bitter sweet last few months I have with my little girl- alone. So I will cherish these moments and make the most of the memories and of her only child time.
