Postpartum Nesting

Last night Cason put on the crown Lily made for Paige to borrow for her birthday, along with a headband Megan and Patrick got her. I wish this was clearer.
Paige got a few new My Little Ponies, and discovered that they apparently have a magnetic foot. We noticed while Connie was visiting and we glanced over and saw Ponies all over the front door like Spider Man.
We spent our day postpartum nesting. Ha. That was the only part about not knowing what we were having that was hard for me. So now I had lots of little things I wanted to do to the room today.

I put little pink ribbons on some of the wooden scotties from Sarah, and painted these little initials to put in one of her little shelves.
Put a new pink ribbon on her little scottie from Chris and Sarah.
Added a few things to the scottie paintings I did forever ago. A pink balloon for each, and a pink argyle collar for one:
And a pink plaid collar for the other:
Now we're working on the letters to put her name above the crib. Paige helped me paint the sides black, and I'm gonna mod podge some scrap book paper to the fronts.
Then she painted some "balloons and letters" for Neely.
And a rainbow to help me remember what a rainbow looks like when I make her rainbow cake next week. :)
Jess got to do this while we were busy:

Now then, it's already been a year since this lovely wedding!
Happy anniversary Skye and Will! You guys are great. Have fun at Disneyland!

Thank you Brandi! It's exciting to see all the scottie stuff finished off with the pink for little baby Neely.

Aw, man! It looks like Veronica & I have the same (good) taste in headbands. I will bring the receipt by next week so Paige can get something else!

Brandi said...

Megan, I bet it's from you! Let me check with Jess. But I was nursing Neely during the gift opening, and could quite easily be confused. It's the only one I saw though, so I'm sure it's from you. I'm sorry!

And Paige loved the makeup and nail polish, she's already used about all the nail charms, COVERING her fingernails in jewels. :)

JUST changed it to say from you!

Sarah said...

Love all the finishing PINK touches! Can't wait to meet that little gal :)

Oh good! 90% of the time I'm that person who gets the gift that someone else also got except mine's always unwrapped second so I'm dreading the awful/awkward moment the whole time. You didn't have to switch the name, though. I feel bad for bringing it up...I just wanted to make sure you knew you could return it without hurting my feelings.

Haha Megan! I feel like that happens to me a lot too, and yep, always the 2nd one opened. Ha. No, don't feel bad, I'm the dork who didn't pay close enough attention. Hopefully I don't get any wrong when I do thank you cards.
