Madilyns Nursery Rhyme Room

I love her room I put alot of work and love into this room. I picked out the fabric before i knew if it was a boy or girl, i just had to have it. once i found out it was a girl i started designing the bedding looking at ides on the web and all over to find the perfect bumper. I knew i wanted to do the monogram and wanted to have some pink added to make the bedding soft it it is made out of minky fabric. I had rose of sharon make the crib bedding and it turned out great. My mom and I sewed window valances,pillows,bed skirt for iron bed and made a custom mattress for the 100 year old iron bed. My mom found this bed at an estate sale even before i was pregnant in hope of using it in my nursery. So we had to get an ironman to clean it up b/c it had 10 layers of paint on it and it needed some welding done to it to make it functional again.So after that we had to find a foam cutting place to cut us some foam b/c the size of the old bed was odd since it is so old its bigger than a crib but smaller than a twin bed. So we had to figure out how to cover the foam.Then we had to find a comforter we just happened to go to Marshalls and found a twin comforter that is pink and white searsucker that matched perfect couldnt believe it! I love how it turned out Madilyn will go form her crib to this bed for her big girl bed. I sleep on it sometimes when i need to its not too bad since im short.
We also got a steal on our other furniture we found some unfinished furniture and they were going out of buisness that day so we got the changing table,and bookshelf for 150. So ryan and his mom and my mom all worked so hard on painting the furniture. Then Ryans uncle who is a decorator bought Madiyln a dresser and table and had them painted and antiqued in atlanta. He also found some beautiful antique french lamps that matched perfect they are a little boy holding a toy gun and a little girl holding a toy soldier and they look like they came off my fabric they match so well. Since my room is nursery rhyme theme i found a beautiful mother goose book with the best artwork so i went to kwik kopy and had them color copy some of the pages and i framed them for artwork.I had so much fun working on her room and being creative.

Most nights she goes to sleep at 10 and wakes up to eat at 2:30 goes right back to sleep and then wakes up at 5:30 eats goes back to sleep till 8:30 eats goes back to sleep till11:30. im so blessed!! I have her on a routine she wakes up stays awake for 1-2 hrs then takes a nap. i do this all day long she is the happiest baby ever! She smiles and talks alot, last night she laughed outloud it was sooo cute i cant wait till she does it again. I love being a mommy!!!

I have to catch up before i get behind

well i have been so busy so i really need to catch up and get back on track. 

Madilyns birth was not the easiest first i went in late wed. night to start meds so i could be induced on thursday morning well everything went well. i was right on track 10 cent.  started to push for 2 hours and then Dr. Chris said she was too big and i would have to have a c-section i cried my eyes out partly b/c i wanted to give birth and b/c i was scared to death. After having a c-section i would say it wasnt so bad. Madilyn was perfect she was 7lbs 15 1/2oz I could not believe how big she was.  My mom came to stay the first week and helped so much since i had to recover from major surgery. I never knew how easy it would be to breastfeed but she took to it so fast.She is growing so fast already up to 11lbs 70z and 23 inchs at her 2month checkup she goes to Dr. Wood the same Dr. ryan and i went to growing up. She is the best doc ever! Well i need to post some more pics so im going to get to it.
