Baby Hollman's Nursery

As promised, we're posting some photos of the nursery as it comes along. There are still a handful of things to add, but we like it already (although we are a bit partial). We've included pictures of the curtains I sewed as well as the new and oh-so-fabulous Dutalier glider. The famous (but a little spendy) Dutalier gliders are worth every penny! Its soooo comfortable! There's also a guest cameo of our little Samson. We were trying to take some photos and he was underfoot, so we put him in the crib, which he didn't like all that much. I imagine he thought it was one more way to cage him in.

In the land of 'baby ailments' my back pain has gotten considerably worse. So, in an attempt to make it at least moderately better I think I am going to make my first ever trip to the chiropractor to see if he, or she, can straighten things out. I'm looking forward to a night of sleep that doesn't wreak havoc on my entire upper spine. I'll also be starting some prenatal yoga classes, so hopefully all that stretching will help with the cramps and back pain. Together maybe I'll feel well again before the baby actually arrives!

You'll notice in the photos we were wise enough to block out Baby Hollman's name before posting the photos because, as many of you know, we are keeping it a secret until he's born. So, I suppose, the best you all can do is potentially figure out how many letters are in it, and for those of you confused by the photos, the big blue block on the wall is actually the baby's name spelled out above his crib with wooden letters hung on ribbons. For my family especially, who are just dying to know what the baby's name is, you can spend your time concocting names with as many letters as you think are in it, but as fair warning, these photos are as close to a 'hint' as you'll get before he's born.

We hope you enjoy the new photos and we look forward to your comments!
