Hi, there :)

It is 4 am, and I can't sleep (recurring theme these days....) I've been awake since 3 am, and I've finally given up on the sleep thing, for now. And, since a little bird told me that I needed to update the blog (coughcoughJenneycoughcough), I am taking advantage of this time to put together a little blog post for you.

Really, there hasn't been a lot going on. I've switched from full-on BABY mode (which started in the middle of January with the room remodeling and baby shower preparations) to WAIT mode. With Jackson, it seems like as soon as I had his nursery prepared, he was HERE. And I remember that my 2 baby showers for Jackson occurred only 5 and 7 days before he arrived. So, there wasn't a lot of waiting. The down-side to that was that I felt totally unprepared for him. My mom and sister were at my house, washing baby clothes, organizing his room, etc., while we were still in the hospital.

Well..... not this time. I guess I was determined not to feel unprepared this time around. We had waited sooooo long to decorate the nursery - I was getting panic-y. But, once we started, it came together so incredibly fast. Then, 2 baby showers came along, back to back. Since I'm not working a lot, I was able to devote a lot of time to organizing everything. So, essentially, the room has been ready for the baby since the beginning of February. And so I wait.......

Here are some pictures of Jamison's room:

*The walls are the most beautiful pale carribean blue.
*Bright white trim.
*She's using Jackson's crib - dark walnut stain.
*She's using Katie's white wicker dresser and lingerie chest (purchased second hand back before Buckett and I got married.)
*The bedding is "Brooke" from Pottery Barn Kids (as is the canopy).
*The canvas. Ahhhh - the canvas. A Vanessa Hudson original. It will eventually be on the wall, not on the lingerie chest.
*The chandelier is from Lowes. Ain't it cute? And at night, when it is lit, the walls look like they are covered with butterflies or clouds or waves...
*The changing table is from Target.
*The flower picture - Pottery Barn Kids.
*The little robot on top of the lingerie chest - we call him Wall-e. It's my video monitor, complete with night-vision. The little tv in my room lets me check in visually, as well as audibly... Another hand-me-down from big brother Jackson.

Coming this week: a plantation shutter for the big window over the dresser. So much for that beautiful natural light. But, a little girl might need to sleep in that room during the daytime. Also, I need some closet doors. And I'm looking for a bargain on a dark brown rocker-recliner-glider-ish chair for the corner.

And then, all I need is a baby :)
