of course, I”m totally biased but I am just LOVING how its coming together. Yes, can you believe we still have more plans in the works for this room. For one, we’ll have a clear spot once we clear out the closet to move some of the boxes of unopened gifts in there and the car seat will be in the car instead of the stroller. Well, this post won’t be fun without lots of pics so here we go! Our jungle safari nursery!
look at these cheetah chairs! the toddlers who’ve come by to visit his room LOVE them so I know they’re going to be a hit for him!
My best friend hosted this shower for me and the attendees included some of my closest longtime friends in my life, some whom I’ve known since I moved here in 95. I was exceptionally happy that my mom was able to make this shower since she takes care of my grandma by herself and hardly gets time away. Thank God for that special blessing – it made us both so happy. I can’t help but just cry happy tears when I see how many people are happily anticipating his arrival and showering him with things. He is already soooo loved by so many! That warms mama’s heart!

was GORGEOUS! I had such a wonderful time and I can’t thank everyone enough who hosted and put so much love and thought into everything. We are truly blessed. Many of the attendees are from Ray’s family and the church he attended when he was growing up. It was truly a different emotion to be the one opening gifts for OUR baby. Of course, I cried.
cousin Sarah who put together all the amazing decorations!
