Our Baby Girl's Room

Well, we finally did it, her room is done. I love it. I've thought about it and planned and brainstormed for about 14 weeks now, since we found out that she is a girl. Finally it all came together and I couldn't be happier with it.
These are just embroidery hoops painted brown with fabric in them. I made a canvas for her, I love the way it turned out, other than the crooked words, lets just say it adds to the whimsical part of the room :) For the flowers I just made them out of fabric and glued them on. I ran across this verse a few times and knew I had to use it over her crib. It means a lot to me and hopefully it will to her too. For me I will look at that every time I lay her down and say to myself "The Lord your God is with you, He is mighty to save." I hope that by reminding myself of that I will continually put my trust in God, the one who ultimately has control over her little life. I know God takes great delight in her and I think that is something every little girl should know, her God delights in her, He rejoices over her with singing. And what mommy doesn't want their baby quieted when it's time to sleep :) He will quiet her with His love.

Some of the vintage pictures I've had hanging in Lane, Case, and now baby girls room. I am going to start looking on Ebay for some vintage hangers to hang a favorite dress or something from the hooks. For now the bottom hook holds her bathrobe and will probably hold her towels for bath time.
That little lamp above the changing table is a fave in this room. I found it at Grandiflora in Lynden while I was there for the summer. It is old, vintagey and sweet. I knew I had to have it when I saw it. The shelf has our wedding pictures in it :) they will be changed when I get to take some pictures of this little pumpkin.
Oh this wall of pictures! I got all the white frames on sale and I will be putting all black and whites in them. For now I just have the one of Case and one of my pregnancy shots in them. I plan to put one of just her, a family picture, and one of Lane and her in the other 3. I used the knobs that I had Case's name letters hanging from.

I wanted this room to be honoring of Case because it was his room, as well as being her room. His sweet smile in that picture just brightens my day. I included some handkerchiefs that have been given to me. The yellow one in the picture is from my dear friend Kristen. It has Lilies of the Valley on it, she told me that they represent new beginnings (this baby), sweetness (Case was the epitome of sweetness), the return to happiness (letting go of bitterness and sadness and allowing myself to remember Case and be able to enjoy life at the same time), and the virgin Mary's tears (we have both cried tears over the death of our sons). Natalie Grant makes reference to Lilies of the Valley in her song Held. There is another white handkerchief hanging from the other side of the shelf. It was given to me at the funeral by one of my mom's cousins, it was my great grandma Lily's.

We are just about ready for her arrival. I think I will be packing the hospital bag next week. Better to be prepared, when my water broke with Case I hadn't packed yet. Whoops. This pregnancy has flown by, I am over 34 weeks. I haven't taken a picture of myself recently. I guess the bigger I get the less motivated I am to take a picture of myself :)
