flying in first class.

here are the high demand nursery pics.

we went with a vintage theme. the baby motif's were not really our thing.

it was a lot of work, but we love his nursery.

it's simple; that's how we like things around here.

view from doorway.

changing table, - the changing pad at the moment.

i love his bomber jacket that his auntie lili got him.

close up of the desk/bookshelf area.

crib (thanks grams and pops). basket of books. the little rocking chair was my mom's, then mine and now it will be kase's, the little stick horse in the corner was mine when i was little too. good thing gigi held onto all of that stuff (thanks, mom).

bedding made by gigi. (b's mom). we never found anything we liked, but this is perfect.

quilt.

bumper.

cute play mat also made by gigi. it has all kinds of different ribbons, textures and little toys on it. perfect for baby's touch and feel discoveries.

vintage abacus.

it took forever to find art, but we finally found these at

hobby lobby and snagged them up.

diapers, bottles, and onesies...oh, my.

here are some pics from shower #1. we have two more to go this week.

one at school and one in ada. all of this is so much fun!

one of our concerns right now is trying to prepare our four legged babies for the new human baby. we read that you should start practicing by holding a doll, but gus ignored the doll and zoe figured out it was a toy and wanted to chew on it.

gus has been my cuddle buddy through all of this. we definitely think he knows something is up. he will either be very protective of kase or very jealous. both dogs have been around our nieces a lot and do fine, so we are feeling pretty confident...

zoe, bless her little heart, is definitely the more silly of the two. she will be completely infatuated with kase and have her little nose in his face all of the time.

happy 1st birthday today to our niece emi!
