A Room With a View (of a Macau)

Picture of Baby's Room













Okay, more pictures... This past weekend we got the nursery together. We shouldn't need to do anything to the room before the baby arrives, so this is a relief! I believe the nesting instinct has kicked-in. Either that, or I am realizing how little time we have to do SO MANY things!

Today is our 8th wedding anniversary. We're such geezers! I can't believe that eight years have gone by! They truly have been the best eight years of my life. I am so blessed to have a husband as understanding, patient and as COOL as Doug. (His brother may have a different perspective on that last attribute :-). We look forward to entering another exciting and new chapter with a little one in-tow.

Okay, about the pictures. I must explain the big, scary bird. Doug has this crazy stuffed animal / bird / Macau that he got as a souvenir when visiting Disney World in his younger years. This bird has somehow stayed with him through his travels and moves. Doug hung the bird in the "green" room, to be displayed to all, before the room was deemed the "nursery." This seemed fine and comical at that point, because the room had a tropical-look and feel to it (until I forgot to tell visitors it was a joke, and not the result of my decorating taste...). Unfortunately the bird still hangs in the room and seems to stare me down each time I walk in the room. The bird has since taken up residence permanently in this room. I seem to get shot-down each time I ask if we can take the bird out of the room. Sadly enough I think our daughter may have nightmares about big Macaus with red tails...

Hope your week is going well so far!

Happy Anniversary to my Duggers!

Love,
Shelly
