My Baby Shower, A Few Nursery Pics, and Christmas 2009

THE BABY SHOWER

Haley, Ginger, Jacqueline, Evan, & Meredith hosted my baby shower at Haley's house. (I happen to LOVE how Haley decorates for Christmas!) It was so much fun and Lily got LOTS of great stuff. I can't thank you girls enough!

My Belly Buddy and Me! Jacqueline and Baby William, due the same day as Lily (Feb. 17th)!

AND NOW FOR THE NURSERY...

Lily's nursery isn't quite finished, but alot of you are asking for nursery pics, so I'm indulging you...

Lily's dresser and changing table. Look at the organizer, made by Sherry. How cute is that?


The picture above the changing table is one of the maternity pics I had taken by Flip Flop Foto, mounted and signed by the attendees of the shower, who all wrote sweet notes to Lily!

Lily's crib and bouncy seat. You can't really see the door hanging well in this pic, but it is from her Aunt Ginger and I LOVE IT!

Close-up of the bedding, all made by Sherry! Including the cute bunny pillow!


The glider and ottoman will go in the corner that the stroller is in whenever it comes in... and the lamp on that table was my great-grandmother's!

CHRISTMAS AT THE GWIN HOUSE...

And finally, our den and pups all decked out for Christmas. This was taken on Christmas Eve. I had to work and John had the day off. When I came home my house was clean, food was cooking, every candle in the house was lit, my pups were dressed up in red and green, and Christmas music was playing! It was a wonderful Christmas Eve surprise!

Lily Style

We have finally decided on a few fabrics for Lily's Nursery... John's Mom is making all of the bedding and window treatments for her and we couldn't be more excited! She is so talented and has recently invested in a new monogramming sewing machine! Of two things we are certain, this little girl will have some really cute outfits and she will never forget how to spell her name. THANK YOU, SHERRY!

The pink Swiss dot fabric is going to be the inside of the bumper pad, as well as parts of other accent pieces like pillows, and part of a throw quilt.

This precious pink and green toile is going to be the outside of the bumper pad as well as the main part of the Roman shades, to be tied with pink ribbon.

This green gingham is going to be the top part of the Roman shades as well as the changing table organizer, to be trimmed in pink ribbon.

This plaid fabric, which is coincidentally called "Pink Lily Plaid" is going to be the dust ruffle and throw pillows.

All together now...
(pardon the quality, I am not good with the camera phone)

I can't wait to get the nursery started! I'm hoping tomorrow we can get the rest of her room cleared out, lately it has been a glorified storage room since we had the floors in the living room, hallway, and master bedroom redone. Now that we are slowly getting our house put back together, I'd love to get a start on her room. With the fabrics ordered, we can now choose a wall color and start working on the wainscoting. Our goal is to be finished with EVERYTHING in our home including the nursery by Christmas! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but not holding my breath...

Here are pics of her furniture, minus the glider & ottoman... The dresser really does match the crib and changing table, the picture makes it look a little lighter for whatever reason. Also, the changing table is not tiny, it is in proportion to the other furniture, despite the scale of the picture.
