Nursery Complete

 Now that we know the nursery is for our little Girl I've added the finishing touches.

I'm using the baby girl quilt and had enough scraps to make a crib bumper, a mobile, some wall decor, and a crib skirt.
Thankfully, I was able to find a bit more fabric from this collection on the clearance rack at JoAnn's since I'm pretty sure this line of fabric was discontinued. I bought it all quite awhile ago.
I had enough to complete the crib bedding and accents!

 Here is up close of the mobile, made from fabric yoyos, ribbon, and an embroidery hoop. 

And a shot of the inside of bumper. I made it scrappy on the inside, partly by choice, and mostly out of necessity, as all I had were smaller pieces leftover from quilt.
The embroidered "Baby" sign was a gift from my sister.

 I found some sweet cream, green, and pink colored paisley fabric for the curtains.

 Here is the embroidery hoop wall decor with leftover fabric scraps.

 And I also was able to make a crib skirt as well. Though I didn't get a great photo of it.

I'm loving my neutral nursery turned girly!!
Will still be awhile before Esther spends much time in her little nursery, as she's still sleeping in a cradle in our room. But I'm glad it's all done, and it's nice to have a place to store all her cute outfits and girly accessories!

Baby Girl!!

 Finally getting around to updating the Blog with the big news!

Baby Levi is a Girl!

 Meet little Esther Levi.
Born Friday, August 2, 2013 at 7:18 AM.  7 pounds 9 ounces, 20 3/4 inches tall.


For the past 11 days we've been busy loving on this sweet perfect bundle of joy. She's already getting too much attention and being spoiled! Gifts of pink, girly, frilly things have been pouring in - not to mention Mama had to do a little of her own shopping. So glad I saved up gift cards and cash gifts from baby showers to splurge on all the pretty girly things!

 We had a wonderful hospital birth experience. All natural and just the way we wanted. In the end things got a little rough. This little girl was a little too comfortable and birthing her into the world was no easy task. But in the end all are well and healthy and happy! Praise The Lord!

 One of the many Aunts had the opportunity to come a visit for awhile. She's been enjoying the little girl to and been a big help to everyone!

We've been so blessed by our church family. We had a little over a week of meals prepared for us. Families from the church brought over food and gifts each day of the week. Was such a blessing to get to relax, recover, and love on our little girl without concerning ourselves with preparing meals.
My man has been incredibly amazing from coaching me through labor to do almost all the housework. It's been so wonderful for him to have the ability to take a bit of time off work to stay home and help out and love on Baby!



I'll try to do better in the future about keeping this blog updated regularly!
