Owl Nursery

Here are a couple of photos of the nursery for our little one. It was Joey's computer room and we still have yet to get his computer desk and computer out of there, but it is almost ready. The bedding is a set I found at Target and I really liked the colors and patterns.

I used scrapbook papers I found at Hobby Lobby and cut them out to make the Owls and the tree posters. I have one more poster frame that I plan to use. I think I will be incorporating an owl and the baby's name (when he has one!).

Almost Baby Time!



It's almost that time folks! I am currently 39 weeks and 4 cm's dilated and am due to be induced on Tuesday January 5th 2010 if we make it till then. Currently I feel the same as I have for the past month, perfectly fine. I am just enjoying the baby's movements in my tummy this morning, knowing that soon that will be a memory and we will all move on to a new stage of knowing him.

We still aren't set on a name for him yet! I know, it is hilarious. I always laugh at other people who don't have a name picked until the last minute, and now we are those people. My hubby and I have a sort of back-up name that we have been wishy-washy about the entire pregnancy. It just has never jumped out to us as 'perfect'. Unfortunately, no other name as even really come close. I guess if we can't make up our minds, then that is his name. I hope we end up happy with whatever we choose.

I am a little nervous about everything. Mainly because I feel like the house needs to be perfect before my MIL comes to watch my two little ones while I am in labor. Also because of the epidural, because last time it worked perfectly but caused some lingering back pain for several months. Other than those two things I am not anxious about the birth. I am however anxious about my hormonal roller-coaster of emotions afterward. It really doesn't help that my husband found out a few days ago that the job we were hoping and praying would turn permanent next month is actually ending early and he will actually miss the last two days there to be with me and the kids for the birth of our third child. This will be putting a gigantic financial strain on us again and we can only pray that a miracle will happen and a new job will fall in our laps straight from God that will provide. Our whole thing about this pregnancy from the very beginning has been that if God sends us another baby then He will provide for it and us, as He has always done. I really hope that things don't get as bad as they did last year first, before we see some sort of relief.
Anyway, I was already a tad worried about my emotions regarding the baby and all the change and everything even before we got that news, so I am praying for peace and emotional stability as well as a miracle in the job department.

I may post some photos later of the nursery and the great decor I made for it. I am on an Owl kick, and I have decided to do an owl theme in there. Pics coming soon!
