Make Room for Mac

I haven't posted in awhile because every time I have a minute to write something, I get distracted or focused in another direction. This has been happening a lot lately. Maybe it's pregnancy scatterbrain or a bit of early nesting, but it's definitely a lot harder to focus these days. Like today, I went home for lunch with every intention of making a sandwich AND sitting down to eat it at the table. Instead, I spent an hour lint rolling shirts (thanks to Colin for accidentally shutting Mo in the closet all morning) and obsessing over the liners in our utensil drawer in the kitchen.

Anyhow, we did manage to complete Mackenzie's room without too much distraction or getting side-tracked. Thanks to Colin for that too:) He did all the hard work and I decided if things were up to my standards of cuteness for our baby girl:)

Her room gets the best light in the whole house.


I can't wait to see my little girl in this crib! (Thank M&D for the mobile/bedding!)



My VERY favorite! Her closet. (Thanks grandmas, aunts & friends for getting her started in style!)



Our hero! Awwww.

    I just LOVE my little niece's bedroom! I can't wait to give you a break and rock her in her glider... while you give me a break and take care of your niece! Hmmm... maybe we didn't think this "babies a the same time" thing all the way through...

    Oh!! You look so darn cute (the room isn't too shabby either!) Everything looks great.

    So, do you go into the bedroom and just imagine what it's all going to be like? I think about how I used to do that sometimes, and how excited I was to wash the baby clothes before she wore them the first time. Now I let them all pile up!! Enjoy these moments. They go by quickly, and I bet you will miss this anticipation.

    Cute!!!! I'm with Sarah, it is so much fun in the beginning to organize the clothes and then after she arrives and exhaustion sets in to an extent making everything tidy and orderly is not a priority anymore. I can't wait to see your bump... real soon again!

    I do! I was just standing there alone the other day looking in the crib and imagining her being there. It's crazy! I'm trying to embrace this part before it's all dirty diapers and no sleep! Sarah and Merry....it's all worth it, right?! :)

    Haigs, I'm counting on getting a solid two months of gliding help from you before I have to return the favor. Tell Baby G she'd better stay put until July.

    There's nothing more worth it in the whole wide world!

    Little Mac is looking particularly cute in your tummy. I too remember looking in the readied crib and imagining a wee baby. And they are wee so briefly. I am looking forward to glide time too. Good job Colin, but check your closet for the Mobert in the future. Beebles probably would have been fine in the closet ;)

    Hey there Alyssa, it's Jenny, Hailey's friend, I just discovered your blog from Hailey's blog. I love the nursery colors, so calming and pretty. Are the walls green? You look great too!

    Hi Jenny! I'm so glad you commented! I enjoyed checking in on your blog too when you were building the house to see your progress. What a great result:)

    Thanks Sassy & Merry for the confirmation!
