But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.

Decisions, decisions...

One thing I forgot about expecting a baby is the number of decisions involved during the pregnancy! We made these decisions with Jack of course, but since Ryan was another boy we didn't have as many decisions to make. With a little girl on the way, though, we now have all of the original decisions to make all over again! It's been so much fun!


This is the bedding we've decided on. It's called Bubblegum. I love all of the colors! I think we're going to put a chair rail in her room and paint two of the bedding colors onto the wall, one below the rail and one above.




I went to visit my friend Jana the other day. She just had their second baby and we went to meet Ellie. Jana has decorated the girl's bathroom in the cutest theme, and I'm totally stealing it. :) Adorable whale theme from Target. This is the tissue box cover. I think I'll paint the walls the color of the top of the box. Jack loves whales and the ocean, so this theme is going to be a big hit!



The final decision is the biggest one--her name! We have two we like, but we're still going back and forth between them a bit. If we can't decide, we might have to give Rachel the deciding vote. ;) Jack will tell us which one he likes, but then he changes his mind an hour later, so he's no help!

Jack is really excited about having a little sister. He talks about the different things he wants to teach her, like how to swing. He also wants to push her in the stroller at the zoo. Right now in the room that will be the baby's we keep the vacuum. Jack got very concerned when I told him this would be her room. I asked what was wrong. He said "Is the vacuum gonna get my sister?" How sweet that he's already concerend about her! He's going to be such a good big brother!

That is so sweet about the vacuum comment Jack made! I am sure the two names you are considering are both beautiful. I think I remember hearing a girl name that you like a few years ago, but I'm not sure it's still in the running. The bedding you picked out is so chic! We're also painting our "nursery to bed" two of the bedding colors we're using. It will be teal on top and maroon on bottom. If you need and help setting up the nursery, hit me up!
