The Nursery |
|
|
|
We have had lots of fun decorating the nursery for our baby-to-be. We chose a Finding Nemo theme because Natalie absolutely loves that movie and it's a gender neutral theme that will grow with our child.
Natalie spends time in the nursery dreaming about our child and praying for you and all the other birthmothers out there with difficult decisions to make. Spending time talking to God assures her that our child will come to us at the perfect time if we are patient enough to let His plan for our lives unfold.
Kyle frequently kicks back in the Lay-Z-Boy and dreams of late nights with a baby resting on his chest as they both nap. |

Kyle bought a Finding Nemo crib sheet for Natalie for Valentine's Day! It was the perfect gift!
The table next to the chair isn't the only homemade item in the nursery. Natalie's sister and cousin made the baby a fleece blanket out of Finding Nemo fabric and Natalie's mom is hard at work sewing the bedding for the crib out of Finding Nemo fabric that we picked out! Our entire family is enjoying getting the nursery ready for our little one! |

We can't wait to rock our baby to sleep snuggled under a Nemo blanket in the Lay-Z-Boy chair!
The table next to the recliner in this picture was made by Kyle specifically for the nursery. He chose beautiful cherry wood from his grandmother's farm to make it out of! |

This Nemo lamp can be both a regular lamp and a night light. It will be perfect to use for those late night feedings because it sheds just enough light to get around by, but not enough light to jolt baby (or parent!) awake. |

The nursery is directly across from our bedroom. So, Kyle turned the door to the nursery into a dutch door. By closing the bottom portion and keeping the top open, we can keep the pets out of the nursery, but still be able to hear the baby cry at night. |

We changed the hardware on the changing table to make it fit with the ocean theme. Now there are sea shells and sea creatures for handles! We also refinished Kyle's childhood dresser to match the colors of the room. We put new hardware on it as well and it looks so cute with sea horses as handles for the doors! |

We just fell in love with this Finding Nemo toy bin. While the baby is small it can act as a catch all for baby supplies like diapers, bibs, and burp rags. After the baby grows it can turn into a toy organizer easy enough (and fun enough) for our child to use to clean their own room! |

Crush and Squirt are 2 of our favorite Finding Nemo characters. We were so happy to find wall clings of them! |

Natalie had a blast cutting out these Finding Nemo wall clings and arranging them into ocean scenes on the door! |
