Furniture Arrives

It is so hard to imagine that Julie hit 28 weeks today. It seems like almost yesterday she greeted me at the bottom of the stairs with our first positive pregnancy test. She gets more beautiful by the day. I knew that I loved her the very first time I saw her and now I just can't imagine life without her. She's more beautiful because I get to see an all new side to her. This motherhood thing definitely makes my heart melt for her even more.

We had a really fantastic arrival on Friday ... baby furniture. Thanks to the fantastic help of Mr. Herb Priest at Priest Home Furnishings in downtown Woodstock (free commercial for the nicest furniture man in the world) we saw the arrival of our crib and our dresser/changing table. The crib is a beautiful cherry sleigh design complete with a Sealy Beauty Rest Matress. The bedding is Pottery Barn with faded blues and greens. We wrestled between cherry and black, so we decided to do both. The dresser and changing table are black. I'm going to change out the brushed nickle pulls with cherry and we're going to integrate more of both colors in the room.

Having the nursery come together makes the whole adventure all the more real. I can't wait to hold my son! Tomorrow is also a big day for me and Julie ... it marks 18 months of wedded bliss.

I love my growing family :)
