The Haden Family: October 2009

This weekend Mark painted Caroline's nursery! I was so proud of him for doing it all by himself. It was really special for him to think about doing all that hard work...for her. We both can't wait to meet her and can't believe that she will be here in just over 5 weeks! Amazing. She's moving around so much these days. It's extraordinary to know that there is this unique little person growing inside me. What a miracle. I am in awe of the perfect way that God created each and every one of us.

Here are a few pics from our work so far! There is definitely a lot more to do but we're getting there. We still need to put together a bookshelf, hang the chandelier, take the plastic of the lamp, paint the black chest and find/make some window treatments. But that all seems very manageable in the coming month!

This is a post in progress... Tonight I'll add some info & details about how amazing this weekend was but for now I thought I'd put up some pictures.

UPDATE: So, it's now many weeks later and I definitely didn't live up to my promise to update the blog "tonight". The shower is Birmingham was so amazing. I'm so grateful to my mom, my aunt, and my cousin for putting on such an event that made me...and Caroline...feel so special and loved. It was amazing and I'm very thankful! We had the yummiest treats from Edgar's Bakery in Birmingham. Seriously, if any of you are ever in the area...go to Edgars! Yum. And Caroline and I were showered with beatiful and useful things that I can't wait to use when she arrives in just over 5 weeks!
