Oliver's Nursery Preview

Nathan enjoying our new bright orange glider (the dogs are obviously enjoying it as well)

The finished product. Nathan and Pawpaw Carbo put up the beautiful chair rail. And this is our crib, the side table, and some artwork we chose. That chair rail divides the room into an aqua blue wall and a chocolate brown wall. The chocolate brown is actually chalk board paint, so little Oliver can be a little artist when the mood strikes him. 

Here is Oliver's dresser and hutch. It took forever and a day to arrive, but it's so nice and well made I think he'll be using it through high school.

Baby Showers and Cake

 Alexandria baby shower cake 

 Adorable decorations by Jennifer at Alexandria baby shower

Nathan and I in front of our baby boy wreath at Baton Rouge baby shower

Gorgeous cake from Baton Rouge baby shower. Ambrosia bakery copied my nursery decor and colors onto the cake and put petit fours on top that looked like baby blocks. 

And lastly, my wonderful coworkers got these beautiful (and extremely tasty) petit fours for my last day at work. Those are baby booties and rattles on top.

Thanks everyone for the wonderful showers. We are now officially prepared for the arrival of little Oliver because of all your generous gifts. We can't wait for him to get here!

Instead of just finding out the sex of the baby from our ultrasound tech; she wrote it down on a piece of paper and put it in an envelope. That piece of paper went to the bakery where the baker made my birthdaycake with either blue or pink filling so when I cut into the cake that evening we would find out if we were having a boy or girl. This is that moment when we found out.

Baby Bump

This is the 7 month baby bump. Only about 2 1/2 months to go!

Nursery Fun

This is the color of the glider that we got for the nursery. ORANGE!

This is the side table for the nursery except it will be in light blue.

 

 

 

This is Oliver's crib bumper and the color scheme for the whole the nursery. 

 

This is baby Oliver at 16 weeks. That's his little hand in the right corner, waving hi to the world. 

Our First Sonogram

Baby Carbo at 8 weeks. He/She is right on target for his/her size and has a healthy heart beat.
We could not be more proud and excited. (By the way the baby is turned upside down so the head is at the bottom of the black circle and the feet are at the top.)
