Mailee's Nursery

Mailee's nursery is ALMOST done and the timing is perfect. There is a possibility that she will be making her grand appearance earlier than expected IF the doctor decides to induce me next week.
I'll keep you all posted.
Anyway... I love that so many of my wonderful girlfriends pitched in to treat us to all the adorable nursery items! You guys are the best... and I am so glad that I will be able to think of each and every one of you as I spend my days AND nights in the special room. As I've said before... I feel so blessed to have you all in my life and I can only hope that Mailee will surround herself with friends as genuine as you all!

John should once again be proud of himself as he had a lot to do with designing the nursery. It was his idea to chairrail it, stripe the bottom and paint the top a different color. He also did it all himself!
Not only did he do that but he is working on the artwork in the room too... he painted the 4 little canvases pink and brown and plans to put Mailee's hand and footprints in each of them.
He is also working on a beautiful floral painting now the we will soon hang up when it is complete. He also bought the adorable crystal door knob clothes hanger on the closet door at an art fair in Anacortes when I was out of town - such good taste - def. going to be a great daddy to his little girl!
There is a very special monogrammed painting hanging in the room that my fab jax girls got Mailee and I just love it. A Navy friend paints them so let me know if anyone is interested in one and I'll pass on her info!
Mom & Liz - thanks so much for all the help in organizing when you came out to visit too! I love the diaper cake you made and it will be sad when I take it apart to change a dirty diaper.
OK... Here are some pictures. We are still awaiting the curtains that match (they are on backorder, we need to paint the brown book shelf still and John will finish the room w/ his painting soon... Enjoy the pics. Love you all!! Oh I will soon post renovation pictures too.. but I'm adding the new bathroom addition to the bottom of this blog posting b/c it is Mailee's bathroom so it matches her nursery... and yes, John thought was was ridiculous to have it match the room.. but I couldn't resist!
