Boy Story

Yes I typed that right, I'm talking about the boy not toys.  Baby boy blue's arrival is sneaking up on us fast.  I think it may have something to do with the fact that the end of this pregnancy is around the holidays.  I have about 9 1/2 weeks to go and many things on my to do list...painting, a name, getting furniture out, choosing a name, car seat and stroller, picking a name, diapers and wipes, DID I mention this child has NO name, oh the list goes on and on!

Maybe you can take a peek at him and tell us what you think?

Since this is my third, but first boy I kinda feel like we are having our first baby all over again.  It is exciting looking and shopping for him, but honestly not too much has been done.  Here is what has been done...
Bedding & Curtains..

 These prints were purchased HERE for his room.

I have also purchased a dresser for a changing table at a local antique junk store and a hutch for storage from craigslist.  Those will be painted soon and in his room.  This is the dresser...

Another great deal I found was this pottery barn book rack at our local PB Outlet.  I would have never paid full price for this, but at $30 I thought that was a steal!

In the midst of all this planning the perfect room for a not so perfect baby (not get mad at me for saying that..just keep reading) I must keep the real Boy Story in my mind, especially in this month.  See there IS a perfect BOY that was born this time of year, and no he did not have the perfect room, perfect blanket, or perfect bookshelf that his mom got for a steal.  He had NO room.  So, as I plan, nest and prepare for our little gift of joy I do not want to get sidetracked on what I need to focus my attention on, and that is Jesus.  He came to this earth for you and me and this boy that I am preparing a room for. Let's not loose focus, let's not get consumed in the stuff.
