Claire's Room!

When you walk in the door, this is it! And it is
hodge podge at it's finest! i had a SMALL
budget for this room, but pulled it off!!
Melissa, of melbelle art, sent me the monogram on
carbon paper and I traced it onto the wall. i love it!

Artwork and my doll cabinet from all growing up

with my old dolls, and some things she has received

The artwork is something I am proud to say that I made with

my crafty friend carrie who saw this on martha stewart! It's

scrapbook papers modpodged onto wood. We had a blast making

them and we loved how they turned out!

Claire's sweet chair was my old rocking chair

that i used when i taught and a very sweet friend

recovered them with this fun fabric (that i bought for VERY

cheap!!) The cute magazine rack is pottery barn though..no sale!

A friend gave me the "Claire" blanket. Wells has one too!

The diaper changing table my mom bought for 30 dollars

at a church garage sale and she repainted it. Carrie (the same

crafty friend and Kelly painted the knobs. Aren't they

so cute! The panels are pottery barn green gingham to match

the bumper pad and bed skirt.

Now, when I say that Claire has been blessed with clothes,

check this out!!! These are my old dresses, my cousin Hayden's

old dresses, Melinda has made dresses, a very GIVING friend gave

me about 13 brand new outfits from lilipad, then high school friends,

teacher friends, and others gave me the rest. By the way, her

drawers are full as well!

Now for updates. I go to the doctor tomorrow and I KNOW i've progressed because I feel it!!! But the last two weeks I haven't dialated at all, but she has moved down a little. So I can't wait to hear what the doctor says. I'm thinking she's coming in this next week sometime. Sweet Wells is just getting really clingy to me and I honestly think he knows something is up! He has never been a clingy child. Thank goodness he enjoys mother's day out though and goes one day a week. On another note, this is the first day he has been well in 8 days. He has been so sick with all sorts of stuff. Please pray that our house will be healthy by the time Claire arrives!! And we are still nesting (notice the lack of blog posts). Chris has replaced four doors at our house, primed, sanded and painted them. I've cleaned out the pantry, the kids' cabinet in the kitchen, and I'm doing the refridgerator tonight! We are almost ready thank goodness! Not that we'll ever really be ready! But we can't wait to meet her and sweet her sweet face!! I'll keep you all posted and I promise to take pictures of Wells this week and post them! We're holding out hope that Claire will wait until October so the kids will really be 14 months apart!! But of course God's timing is perfect!!! :) I hope you like her room!! I am really proud of it! :) (by the way, carrie and kelly also helped me make wells room a little sporty and updated as well!)
