nursery update

the nursery is ever-evolving, not unlike my house. i change things out and add new things, i think everyone does. for example, we got this fun print from a friend, a baby gift for hannah. the artist noelle dass even wrote a personal note to her on the back!

this cute little chair sits in the corner of her room (or would, if the air mattress wasn't there currently so i can catch some sleep in the morning and not be disturbed by brian getting ready for work). brian thought she should have a little armchair. why, i don't know, but it's so cute and i hope she loves it when she is old enough to use it.

this lovely gift was handmade for us by another friend. i love the flowers, the beautiful embroidery (especially since i can't embroider to save my life) and how her name is spelled out by the dragonfly's trail. unbeknownst to kelly, brian expressed to me after hannah was born that he really wanted something with her name on it for her door, a "sign" or something. then we received this in the mail, and were so thrilled and touched.


i put philodendrons in her room also (the only plant i can keep alive), so she can grow up with living things around her. they're up high, on the shelves, so she can't accidentally eat the leaves. i don't feel like making a trip to the emergency room later because i was an idiot and left them too low.

Thanks, Eireann, for your candid blog. Your posts about the fears we all have before and during motherhood were especially reassuring.
