Whooopie! So, I spent the weekend getting the furniture together, making things look pretty, and pissing off Nonny because I didn't want his help. Come on, now...I've seen him put boxed furniture together before and I know he'd do more cussing than puttin'-togethering. It wasn't really hard and I only cried once! The headboard and foot board were unassembled and the (crappy) directions for the crib only showed them assembled so as to connect them to the slide rail (which I have no clue how to work!). I bawled my eyes out because I didn't know how to put the stupid things together, until I realized that the 'extra' set of directions was actually the diagram for the head/foot board assembly! Thankfully, I was alone so I was the only witness to my pregnant stupidity. Ugh!
This past Friday was my regular check up with Dr. B and he finally fussed at me regarding my weight gain. So, instead of being sympathetic, Nonny immediately tattled on me that I'd been living on peanut M&M's and macaroni and cheese! He neglected to mention that HE GETS ME THE M&M's and the mac & cheese is Lean Cuisine! After giggling at my apparent look of mortification, Dr. B told me that his own wife gained a bunch of weight with all three of their children and, should I continue on my current trend, I will no doubt be exercising alongside her at 5:30am at the local YMCA. Nonny and I also had our abdominal scans done (FINALLY) and should hear back from the doctor tomorrow. My next appointment with Dr. R, our specialist, is September 28th...hopefully Maddie's little cyst isn't growing along with her kidney.
XOXO
Room with a view...sort of. This is our front garden which is actually compiled of hibiscus, zinnia's, black-eyed Susan's, foxglove, sweet pea's, and ~ grass! There are two azalea bushes somewhere in there, but I think the weeds are blocking their sunlight!
The crib & changing station...
Dresser and glider...and blanket and pillow and stuffed snail and the singing bug and piggy bank and lamp and Maddie-sign and some books I picked up. Ok, now I can take a breath...
Crib detail & matching wall hangings...
Another view...
Madelyn's very own walk-in closet! Just what every newborn needs...
(I have a few more photos, but for some reason my computer won't upload them for the time being. I'll get them up as soon as I can.)

This is just gorgeous! Maddie is going to love her room!! And the walk-in closet (err ... crawl in closet for now) will serve her well as all girls need a full closet of many choices to stand before and declare "I have NOTHING to wear!!" XOXO
