Baby Room....CHECK!

We are finally done with the baby room....well kind of, there are a few more things that I would like to do but since I'm all the tail end of my pregnancy and extremely tired I'm going to go ahead and call it COMPLETE! Here are a few pics of the room....Enjoy!

I told my mom that this sign should really be hanging outside the window because I don't ever recall boys coming through my front door...they usually came through the window, haha! Her laugh quickly turned into a chuckle and then she thought about it and got worried...the look on her face was hilarious! :-) This is the first view of the room as soon as you walk in. There's a saying right under Allie's name that says, "For this child I have prayed and the Lord has granted me the desires of my heart." It's really difficult to read since the text is in pink and blends into the wall too much but ohhh well....we'll get it right next time.

This is the other corner of the room....ignore the girl on the couch (it was a weekday at 10pm and after shopping and some cleaning...I was pooped and refused to get off the couch). I am very proud of my wooden letters that I made and painted by hand. They're not perfect and all that great but the satisfaction of making it myself for my little girl is priceless (plus I saved $50 doing it myself than buying them ready made at the store). The little blanket on the arm of the chair was made by my mom for the baby...I love it! She made one for my nieces and now my little girl has one too. I think it's a really special gift that my daughter can keep forever....a little something from her grandmother! I'm planning on bringing her home in that blanket for the first time so that it will be even more special.

Once again...ignore the girl on the couch! If you look closely there is a frame on the dresser. One side of the frame is a 'welcome letter' that Siju and I wrote for our little girl before her actual arrival. The other side of the frame is supposed to be a picture of us...I still have to get it printed and put into the frame but I thought it would be cool and something she can cherish when she grows up. Something she doesn't know and probably will never find out till she gets much older...if she ever opens up the frame and flips over the letter she will find little fun facts about her parents (things about us before we got married and before she was born).

I just absolutely love this sign! I saw the sign at the store and pointed it out to Siju and as soon as he read it, he started to blush and started smirking! He's going to try to deny it but I saw it and knew we had to buy it (or at least I had to buy it for him). I could tell he wanted it too because I would typically have to work at getting him to allow me to buy decor items (he finds them pointless) but he agreed as soon as I asked! :-)

The last pic....the entry way! I made Siju take this pic because I wanted to capture the wall decor on top of the door. I have a couple of these around the house and I happen to have an extra one from when we initially purchased the house (Siju doesn't like it very much so he said I couldn't put anymore around the house). It's been sitting on top of the closet for over 2 years collecting dust so I was able to use it for the baby room....talk about recycling! :-)

That's all there is to our baby room...nothing real extravagant but there was alot of love and work that went into making this room special for our little girl so the only thing we need now is OUR BABY! :-)

Special thank you to my wonderful husband for taking my vision and making it reality! I love you! :-)
