Hey there, it's you again.
The A to Z challenge is floating along just fabulously, don't ya think?
Here we are on G already and I'm still in it.
So you've heard the story about Corabella but have you heard the story about her cute little nursery?
Well, I'll tell you.
A few months ago, I believe we were just over our 21-week mark, I decided I wasn't waiting to see if this baby was going to make it. I had this gut feeling that one day I would hold her high up in the air (not unlike Simba in the Lion King) and show her to the world. I was tired of living in fear and waiting for some magical moment to tell me to go ahead and start being a father.
I simply said, " Fu@k It!"
This would be my only chance to create a dream nursery and I was going to start come hell or high water, birth or death. Nothing was going to stand in my way.
So that is exactly what I did.
I started off with windows. Yes, windows. The existing ones were junk and I did not want a drafty nursery.

Then I installed all new trim around the windows, caulked and painted the walls and put up a chair rail.

Then I ordered window treatments and Momma put her little touch on them with cute little ribbons.

I had so much fun creating this little nursery. The last piece I found was a little lamp to go on her dresser and of course, like so many other things in the room, on the side of it is a little.....
