Just PLANE fun!

If you’ve been reading, you know that J and I picked out some model airplanes to assemble, paint, and hang from the ceiling in K’s room.

What you may not know is how long we spent on these crazy things.  “Assembly required” is an understatement.  These little guys were complicated.  And painting them took lots and lots of coats, especially since we had to cover up the excessive amounts of glue it took to put them together.

Mima spotted them in Harbor Freight before we knew whether we were having a boy or a girl.  Being a bit superstitious I decided not to buy them until we knew.  But not long after hearing “it’s a boy”, we started working on these.  Last night, our hard work finally paid off we as hung the little suckers from the ceiling.

The final verdict…totally worth it!  I will say they look a lot cooler in person than they do in these photos.  But nonetheless…here are the long awaited planes!

Up they go!

Dear K- Your room is ready!

Dear K,

Your room is ready!  Your daddy and I are proud to present to you what we hope you will find to be a fun, loving, and welcoming environment.

In it, you will see little bits and pieces of lots of family, friends, and other loved ones.  The crib and bedding were picked out with lots of thought and love by your daddy and me.  The rocker and ottoman where we will spend lots of time napping and reading came from Nana and Papaw.  The mattress from Grandma and Grandad.  The mobile and airplane night light from Mima and Mipa.  The crib light from Uncle Kevin and Aunt Auburn.  The coat/hat rack was made by Pop.  Your closet and drawers are also stuffed with clothes, diapers, wipes, bath supplies, blankets, and other items from your Grandparents, Great Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, other relatives, and friends of your mama and daddy from school, work, and church.  In short, there have been a lot of people who helped us celebrate and prepare for your arrival.  You are truly blessed and loved, and I pray that we help you feel that love instantly.

Your bed!  We hope you’ll love the zooming airplanes!
The changing table.  A dresser that used to belong to my grandparents, and a propeller from a WWII target drone.
The “fun” corner!
A very special item made by Pop.
Books we can’t wait to read with you!
A warm comfy bed awaiting your arrival!
The photo wall.  We can’t wait to replace these with pictures that have YOU in them!

Welcome home!

Love – Mama

Great things come in…somewhat large awkward packages!

Squuueeeeee!

What was that?  That was the squealing sound I made last night when I came home and found a large cardboard box on our front steps…my baby’s bedding had arrived!   If you had been within a half mile radius you would have known that already.   We loved it online, and thankfully we LOVE LOVE LOVE it in person!

I’m a little behind on blogging, so I also need to add that we had visitors this past weekend as Grandma and Grandad came out for a few days.  It was great spending time with them, and hearing Grandad and Jexchange pilot stories.  Of course…we also did a little (ok a lot of) shopping, so thanks to their recent purchases, including but not limited to a mattress and car seat, we can now bring K home, and put him to bed!  Not a bad start if I do say so myself!

Other projects:
J and I have been busy assembling and painting planes to hang from the ceiling.  I am attempting to teach myself to crochet a blanket (gulp), and we’re starting to think about where we want to stick things on the walls.

Photos below show the bedding, a curtain stretched over the chair, and the makings of a momma made baby blanket.  (What’s that?  It looks like a big string for now?  You are correct.)  There’s a close up of his comforter, and a look at his name for the wall.  I’ve also included one shot of a plane.  Lots of fun going on these days!

K is also now incredibly active.  He rolls, kicks, and flat out dances on a regular basis.  J has gotten to feel all of the above multiple times, and I enjoy evenings when we can sit together to feel and giggle about our kickboxer.  (Ok, I giggle, J mostly just smiles.)

We’re also looking forward to an upcoming trip to Lexington to catch up with old friends and teammates, and attend a football game, (GO CATS).  K will get a shout out…more on that next week!
