She'll Be Here Soon

Baby's due date is just around the corner...

And I'm delighted to announce that we've finished the nursery!

I decided to go with the "Welcome to the World" theme from my shower. I asked a friend to create this sign as the centerpiece for the gallery wall, and then I attached some silk flowers to a gold frame and hung the piece above the crib.  

I also printed out pictures from our travels around the world. Of course, I had to include a few of baby's future travel buddy. 

London, England

Teddy in Athens, Greece

Zermatt, Switzerland

Teddy in Venice, Italy

New Orleans, Louisiana

Another friend made this Paris collage for me years ago. It goes perfect with the room! 

I've always had a love of exploration and adventure, and I hope my little girl will too.

We're building up her library. I loved this little bookshelf and its compartments for stuffed animals. 

This is Raggedy Ann, my absolute favorite toy when I was a little girl. My mom found this miniature Raggedy for the baby, and now my doll has a daughter of her own. 

Baby will need plenty of warm blankets for the cold winter months here in Georgia. My co-worker knit this sweet quilt.

And my mom found this cute hot air balloon blanket. It's so soft!  

My travel map has pins of all the places we've been to, and we're looking forward to adding many more with baby. 

And that's the nursery. There's just one little thing missing...but she'll be here soon... ( :
