oh, caroline...

Dear Caroline,

You are one spoiled little lady. You are not due to make your grand entrance until December, but you already have a closet full of cute clothes and a box full of good reading material. It is very hard for me to pass up adorable little baby things or an Eric Carle book at TJMaxx. The other day I picked you up some leg warmers at Old Navy. You are so much fun to shop for and I can't wait to play dress up. I really just can't wait to hold you and see that face. I'm sure you will be the most precious baby on the planet! You are very active these days and I like to think its because you are like me...a little loud and feisty at times. :) Being pregnant doesn't always bring out the best in me, but I know you are worth it. Your Mimi and I have ventured into the world of bow making and this was the result...


I guess they turned out pretty good considering it was our first attempt. I've also been browsing Etsy lately for fun baby vintage for you. I bought one dress that I'm still waiting to get shipped, but I did find this smocked number for 4 bucks at a vintage store!


See you soon precious!

Love,

Mommy

P.S. As you know, your daddy has been reading you bedtime stories lately. Hope you enjoy them! I think he's very fond of you. :)

Caroline's nursery...

I think I've finally decided on a color scheme for Caroline's little room. The walls are staying yellow, so I need something to match well with that, but still look girly. Here is what I have found so far and I'm super excited!

Some fabric swatches for bedding and curtains...






Not sure which ones I'll go with, or if I'll end up using any of these, but I really like the colors and patterns of these fabrics!

I definitely want a big shaggy rug for the room. I'm thinking of going with gray. A black one might be too much.

I've also decided on a black Jenny Lind crib. I really like the style, but thought they only came in white and brown. I was excited to find one on Target.com!

I might add a few pops of teal here and there for a little extra color. I'm ready to see this room come together!
