The scheduling of this event has allowed for a lot of nostalgic feelings on my behalf and some anxiety. This weekend I felt compelled to live every moment as "this is our last without kids." Our last Friday night dinner with Mom and Nana without kids, our last Saturday sleeping in without kids, our last breakfast at IHOP without kids, Our last movie date for awhile, our last church service, our last.... Drew finally thought it was necessary to remind me that our lives weren't ending we were just having a baby. I wasn't intending to be dramatic I just thought that now having the ending date in sight we needed to be a little more appreciative of the freedom we had this weekend just the two of us. I found myself being even more aware of his movements in my stomach and already missing those sweet times we have shared just the two of us during this pregnancy. His Dad can hardly wait another moment though to share in the joy, and was initially put off when I pushed back the induction date so Everett's birthday would not be on Valentines' Day... he has been very patient awaiting the arrival of his son.
The nursery is prepared, the diapers are placed, the wet wipes are warming, clothes are washed, and we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our precious Everett!
Here are some pics of his nursery... it is a mix of clean lines and rustic. White freshness meeting metal and wood textiles. I chose Orange and Turquoise as accent colors against the grey and white. It is a great mixture of baby and masculine without feeling to one sided or the other. I wanted to have pieces that can grow with E. I absolutely love the way it turned out and can't wait to spend time in here with our little man. Sometimes Drew finds me sitting in the rocker imagining I am rocking Everett to sleep. It is my favorite room in the house!
