Tinysprouts...

We found a website (www.tinysprouts.com) that makes custom dresses with embroidered names...this dress is precious!

Getting ready...

Diaper Bag

Jeff said he didn't want to lug around a pink diaper bag, so I went to Helly Hansen and got this backpack to use as a diaper bag. As a compromise, I put a cute polkadot bow on it.

Stroller and Carseat

My mom got us our stroller and carseat. They are so nice!

Maddie's Room...

Maddie's dresser/changing table

We took Jeff's childhood dresser, and with the help of his amazing mom, we transformed it into a "peacock green" changing table. I made the letters above the dresser by attaching ribbon to cute wooden letters from Mels. We found fun knobs for the dresser from Anthropologie in Seattle.

Maddie's Rocker and Quote

Everyone knows I love "words." My favorite store for words is in Riverpark Square called Labor of Love Creations. They make custom vinyl letters that are so easy to apply to any wall. The rocker is the same rocker Jeff used to be rocked in as a baby. Jeff's mom painted and distressed it for me for Christmas.

Maddie's Crib

We found the most adorable bedding at Potterybarn Kids in Seattle. We love the polkadots and stripes. Behind it is a star from Mels with a perfect sign which says, "A baby is a bit of stardust blown from the hand of God." (see below).

Updates of the last month...

It has been a crazy month for us. We moved in to our house and love it, however, we are still working on a couple big projects. The A/C is getting put in next week, we are digging trenches this weekend for the sprinkler system, and then will lay sod and put up the fence. Madison is definitely growing, definitely obvious by my growing stomach. Jeff has been able to feel her kicking, however, he has warned her that she will not be allowed to be a soccer player. I told him not to worry if she gets her athletic ability from her Mom she will only be able to dance or do gymnastics. We put together her crib last week and are waiting on a couple pieces of the bedding to be shipped from Pottery Barn Kids. Her room is getting painted this week and when finished we will put up some pictures. Nils is going stir-crazy without a yard, we are taking him on about 4 walks a day. He is excited for this weekend because he will get to go to Grandpa's for a week. Jeff finished school baseball and starts AA Legion this next week. Northwest Baseball Academy camps start soon as well. We are excited for the warm weather we have been teased with last week.
