Graham's Nursery

Well that took longer than anticipated! Graham just turned four months old a few days ago and I just completed decorating his nursery. I had fully planned to bring Graham home to a beautiful completed nursery, but little did I know he was going to come early. At least that's the excuse I'm going to use; little is it known that I am the most indesisive person when it comes to decorating a room. It takes me FOR-EH-VER (said in Sandlot tone) to decorate a room. I have this problem known as "perfection," it's a good and bad problem to have. I'm just happy that after twelve months of decorating his nursery I can finally call it PERFECT!

When I found out I was pregnant I knew I didn't want to have a theme to my babies nursery. I wanted everything about his nursery to be a piece of both me and Trevor.

Graham's nursery is now Remington's new favorite place to be. He loves that little boy more than anything in the world.

I love that this picture has elements of both Trevor and I. The sporting equipment is an element that Trevor wanted in his nursery, they are all sports that Trevor has played and loved. Then hanging on the wall above his crib is the lyrics to the Lynyrd Skynyrd song Simple Man which is one of my favorite songs and only appropriate for my son.

I love the shelves that we created to house all his knick-knacks and all of my (or should I now say his) Dr. Suess books. I found the idea here.

I love how Graham's nursery turned out, the final piece to complete his nursery was the framed picture of one of our maternity pictures.

Family of Three

How has it been two months?!?!?!?! On a rainy day in June he was born. After a long night of labor my little man was born on June 20th at 2:02pm. Graham Joseph came into our lives three and a half weeks early weighing 6lbs. 15oz. and measuring 19in. long.

These past two months have been the best time of my life. This little man has shown me what life is all about and all the things to look forward to in life. I cannot describe or put into words the amount of love I have for him; for he is my world and my everything.

Trevor gave me this Black Tahitian Pearl necklace and a "Push Present" which is Graham's birthstone. I am going to love sharing my birth month with him!

Two and a Half

I feel like it was forever ago that I was pregnant! Time has a way of flying by too fast; my little man is now seven weeks old and I feel like he is about to start driving or leave the house to go to college any day now. I like to look back on these pictures when we were a family of two and a half and see how much our lives have changed for the better since G-Man was born.

Bumps N' Babes

I decided early in my pregnancy that I wasn't going to have a Baby Book. You know one of those "Precious Moments" books where you fill out all your cravings, every kick, and all your doctors appointments. I wanted something a little different so I have been making a coffee table book, for lack of better words, of my pregnancy. I have been filling it with pictures, letters to my son, and memories of my pregnancy that I think he will find more interesting to flip through as he gets older. I know I would have rather seen pictures and letters from my mom in a book rather than knowing she craved saltines and peanut butter on Friday, March 13th, 2015. Just saying. These have been some of my favorite pictures so far in making this book.

My Three Boys!
