Abbie's Nursery and Celebration # ????

Homemade Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Mousse Icing made my Jennifer! Delicious!



The Girls from our Discipleship Group at Church (Dana, Jennifer, Tori, and Julie), Abbie's Cake, and the Diaper Cake made by Dana.



Chest of drawers that was in my nursery which Mike painted out in our freezing cold garage!



Diaper changing table and polka dot letters, what projects but so worth it for her! The plaque with the "A" was handmade by a friend of my PT school friend, Rachel.

Friday night Amy and Taylor came over again for another nursery work night! They've been so helpful and we appreciate it so much. Mike made chocolate cupcakes with chocolate icing and sprinkles for Abbie and I, which I'd been majorly craving for a couple days. They gave us all the energy we needed for the 3 hour job of putting the diaper changing table together, decorative knobs on her chest of drawers, liner in the drawers, and of course the moral support I provided for the entire project! By the end of it, the 3 of them could hardly see straight but the changing table was together, in place, and looked fantastic!

Saturday night our Discipleship group from church had a mexican dinner, cake, and fellowship time for us to celebrate Abbie Rose and enjoy hanging out together. I was good and stayed put the majority of the time. Dinner was delicious and the homemade cake was right up our alley...chocolate cake with chocolate mousse icing! Delicious!

Today my one trip upstairs was to fill Abbie's chest of drawers with onesies, blankets, burp clothes, hats, booties, etc and get her room organized while Mike decorated the walls with wooden letters I painted polka dots on this past week while on bedrest, and other sweet decorations. I could sit in her nursery all day! Mike read her a story called "God Gave Us You" that my college friends, Josh and Joni, gave us at our Memphis shower. He even used different voices for the characters until it made his throat start hurting 1/2 way through the book! Sweet moments for him and I with little Abbie Rose as we anticipate her arrival! God has blessed us immensely and we are so thankful.
