First Things First...Z's Room

I am a little behind, but here goes my effort. Its 11:37pm...Adam is asleep...Zipporah is fake sleeping and Elizabeth is here for the second night in a row staying the night to lend a hand because she is a saint, but I will go into that later. I thought I would finally put up pictures of Z's room. (uh oh...she's already starting to moan...this may not happen after all) I know people want to see pics of her, but we have to go in order:) Hopefully I will have some up by the time this blog is over.

Okay, its 1:09am now and I am back:) Here are some pics of her room...

I am not the best photographer, so you may not get the whole picture, but bear with me.


The guest bed


Changing table with her initials that Shannon made! (The furniture is a dark chocolate even though it looks black)


Zipporah (I picked out some fun paper with dots and the different names of Christ and some accents and Shannon put it all together so perfectly!)


Brooklyn


Thomason


All together...plus I hung some of the sweet notes and prayers I received from my great friends at my Texas shower on some ribbon:) She'll know that she was prayed for!


Buckets of toys


My very pink, very cheap curtains that Shannon and I made


And the ribbon around them...very do it yourself room:)


Her little "care cart"...she has way more product then I do


A closer look


I covered 4 canvas with fabric and the wall says "Every good and perfect gift comes from above." I have never found that to be more true than this week.




Rocker/ottoman


Zipporah's very own bookshelf...I initially asked Adam if we could just move one of our bookshelves into her room and find some other place to put our stuff and he basically said (as he did throughout pregnancy) that "Zipporah is not taking over...if she wants a bookshelf she will have to earn it just like we earned this one..." He really sounded tough and like a dad that wasnt going to be ran over by a little kid...Now that she's here... you can currently find him melted all over the house;)


A closer look...My aunt Yolanda sent her the piggy bank with her name on it and Ashleigh made her the little "Z" canvas:) So fun!

Okay, honestly my goal was to blog about the room and the delivery which I have to tell in full since it was such a God story, but it is now 1:51am and I just realized 1. that Zipporah has been soundly asleep for almost an hour and I should have totally taken advantage of that and 2. I am really sleepy:) BUT now that I am going to have to move her to our room she will probably wake up screaming or something and I will find myself right back out here. But I will definitely continue working on having the delivery and pics posted by the end of this weekend. PROMISE!

For now she say's
"I'm tired"


"Sooo...goodnight!"


Til Later,
