I am alive!! Promise!

caroline-in-the-sling Oh my heavens, newborns are time consuming!!

I am here, I am functioning & I am shooting away! HOWEVER, I haven’t processed hardly anything to share yet! The way I see it, is that I MUST enjoy my baby girl while she is this tiny because I will have plenty of time to process pictures later. Then, I can adore her tiny feet all over again!

Her nursery is coming along…slooooowly but surely. The stencil finally arrived today. My dad painted all the walls while he was here; he is a PRO at painting-it looks phenomenal. I ended up painting with Ralph Lauren’s Mt. Ranier. And, twist her arm, my mom will be making another trip out to help with the stenciling of the pink damask pattern.

I was able to score some beautiful pink & white linen Pottery Barn curtains (at a steal of a price & in perfect condition!) on ebay to help complete the room. Yesterday I spent her afternoon nap “customizing” them…because…well, that’s what I do. :D Only the best for my girl! Hopefully I can add the blackout liner today.

I also decided that her bumper needs bigger hot pink bows, so in the next couple of days, I will be replacing all the little ties with bigger ones. A girl simply cannot have enough pink, bows or polka dots in her bedroom. Oh no she can’t!!

Okay, I hear a little one squeaking in the other room & she beats the computer when it comes to getting my attention. I promise, I will be back with more images soon, but being a mommy absolutely comes first right now. I am certain you all will understand!

Oh, and because every post is better with a picture, this is how we are functioning! I happened to stumble upon this Peanut Shell sling at marshalls for cheap, cheap & later learned it was quite a steal! (I am the ultimate bargain shopper!!) However, I swear by the Moby wrap. It is magic! Not that Miss Caroline is a crier, because really, she hardly cries at all, squeaks mostly, but this thing is so soothing to her! I highly recommend it!

Sabrina - You look great Shawna!!!! She is adorable. That’s such a cute picture that you are probably going to love forever! These baby moments are the best aren’t they? Can’t wait to see her cute room. Do you need help with anything? I’m pretty handy with a sewing machine and just got done painting our house. Let me know.

Tess - Good to hear from you!! I love the picture, and you look amazing. I loved the sleepy wrap (very much like the moby) and carried Micah in it for the first few months. Hang in there – it does get easier.
