The unveiling of the nursery in 2010....

Happy 2010!!!

Todd and I went for a nice dinner on new years eve and and actually made it to watch the ball drop at midnight! Although it took some serious smack talking to get Todd to stay awake:)

There are so many things to be thankful for in 2009 - for each other, all of our family and friends, being able to buy a house, and most importantly the experience of growing a baby and looking forward to his arrival. 2010 is bound to be an even more exciting year.....


These are our first two pictures taken with our new camera. As you can see Murphy is very pleased (translation - being tortured by Todd) to be taking this picture.


As I mentioned before, my mom and I made some final purchases for the nursery during their stay. And, Todd and I rearranged and hung the pictures and shelves. So, without further ado (is that how you write that??) Here is the baby's room.....


My mom and I picked out the clothes to bring to the hospital - that are laid out on top of the dresser. So, now all I have to do is actually pack them and pack my own bag. I have been putting that off for some reason and the midwife 'encouraged' me to get going with it at my last visit.

This wall is all built in cabinets and shelving. It is great...you can see that we are already stocked with some stuffed animals and books. The monitor is set up so we can hear every peep and I have the iPod set up. I just need to download to lullabies and other fun baby music.


Here is the crib! I love the bedding and that was really the inspiration for the color scheme of the room - brown, green, and blue (the room, like the rest of the house was already painted a great color, so we really did not have to do much). The little blue elephant is from my mom and the Murphy replica is from Todd's mom.

You can see the great rocker (thanks to mom-mom and grandpa schneider). And if you scan up from there you will see Snoopy, the golfer, who hung in Todd's room when he was little. Next to Snoopy will be picture of the all four grandparents...they all went to dinner together recently during the Schneider's trip to Chicago and there was a great picture from that night. So, now the baby will be able to see his grandparents everyday!

There is really not a lot of space in this little room but I think we have made the most of it!! It is really cute and just waiting to be lived in!

PS. Thanks Amy for lighting the fire to get me to take these pics and get them on my blog.....love you bunches!

Well happy 2010 again everyone! I have my 38 week appt on Wed and we will see how things are moving along. I will keep you posted!
