Preparing For Baby

With less than 7 weeks left until baby Bryner comes we are feeling much more prepared. We have done our research, budgeted for baby expenses, and bought most of the essentials we'll need for the first little while. We still have a long way to go, but we're feeling much more prepared. (I keep telling Bryan that we need diapers!!!)

Here are some of the preparations we've made so far. (We're just down to the little details now! Yay!)

Bryan and I successfully assembled the stroller. We have a "travel system". Car seat, check!

Here's the crib and the Cherry Blossom quilt we went with. We also got appliques to put on the walls. (little cherry blossom flowers and dragon flies) It turned out super cute!

Here's a good shot of the nursery. We also have a queen size bed in this room. It's our nursery/guest room since we only have two rooms in the town home. It works great though!

Our pretty crib! Bryan and I assembled it. I'm very happy with the great quality! It'll last through all of our kids :) (I'm not sure how many that will be!)

Okay, I became "crafty" lately and made this sign. Well, we bought all the wood from a craft store and I painted the whole thing and glittered her name.
We have a lot of names that we like, but finally decided on Camdyn (Cami) Elizabeth Bryner.

Bryan and I also made these signs. Bryan routed and sanded down the wood and I painted the signs. It was fun working together to decorate Cami's room. These turned out great!
Here are some close ups of the pictures. I am quite pleased with how they turned out!




This was the first sign I made. Bryan routed the wood and I painted it. Pretty good for our first craft!

And we've managed to buy some clothes. We still have a way to go on the wardrobe. (It's hard to know what to get! I don't know what size she'll be to start out!) It's a start! She'll at least have something to wear, but no diapers....we'll have to work on that!
She's going to be very girly and pink :). We can't wait!

I love all the preparation you've done so far...now baby Camdyn needs to come. (Love her name!) Her room is adorable and you've created that special motherly touch. I remember thinking that the 3rd trimester couldn't go fast enough. I hate waiting. Good luck in your final weeks!

HOW CUTE!!!!!!!!! Love the crib, the bedding is adorable, and the signs you guys made are my favorite. Sounds like you guys might need some diapers...well, they are on their way (should be there Fri.). Hopefully we sent you enough to get started. Now you just need Cami. SUPER CUTE NAME! Love you!

Your crafts look so good! Love that wood connections. That queen bed will come in handy when you need a comfy spot to feed her:) We have the purple outfits from Carters. They can be twinners!
