These cloth baby rings have been on my “to make” list for months! I followed the tutorial here, and they were easier to make than I expected.
The nice thing is if they get dirty or soggy from being chewed on a lot, I can just throw them in the washing machine!

Nursery Project: The Big REVEAL!
Are you ready to AT LAST see the little bird nursery that we have been working on for months? We put the finishing touches on it today, and are happy to finally show you pictures of the whole room!
Here’s what the room looked like when we first moved in.
And here’s what it looks like now!
This art and the corner shelf are immediately to the left when you walk in the room.
I love corner shelves! We just put this up today.
This is our changing table (a gift from my parents). We love the cute green changing pad cover! I also love how the art turned out!
Some of our cloth diaper stash.
This bookshelf is right next to the changing table.
Baby girl already has lots of great books!
I love how the bunting banner looks hanging in the corner. We just put up this wall shelf today!
We have a beautiful Dutalier glider and ottoman set (a gift from my parents), but the glider is downstairs at the moment. Tad wouldn’t carry it up our long, narrow staircase just for a picture (can’t understand why…), so you’ll just have to imagine that it is there! We really like the soft, flowing curtains that add so much texture to the room.
Our beautiful crib (a gift from Tad’s parents) and quilt (made with love by my mom). Oh, and our cute Boppy!
The quilt is just gorgeous and it coordinates PERFECTLY with our color scheme!
Purple bumper pads and cute pillows complete the look!
Note: We are completely aware of the dangers associate with loose bedding, pillows, etc. in a child’s crib. When our baby girl is sleeping here, we will make sure there is nothing else in the crib with her! But doesn’t everything look great in the pictures? 🙂
We hope she enjoys her little bird mobile!
We painted the closet the same color as the walls to give it more “pop.” Yep, her closet is already packed full of adorable clothes! She is going to be one stylish little girl. Since we opted not to have a dresser, this hanging organizer is a lifesaver! It’s how we store everything from socks to pacifiers to onesies and little toys.
Love this big wicker basket…perfect for stashing blankets, extra crib sheets, baby wraps, and more!
Here is a partial-room shot (right side of the room) to give you an idea where the closet is in relation to everything else.
The other (left) side of the room. (It’s really hard to get a full-room shot that isn’t too dark because of the windows!
And… finally… a little door-hanger I made.
Hope you enjoyed tip-toeing around our nursery with us! For more house tour photos, click here.

Week Thirty-Eight
Click here to compare with last week’s photo. Do you think the shape of my belly has changed?
They say the average first-time mom’s pregnancy lasts 288 days, which would be a little over a week past her due date. I do expect that our baby girl will probably be late, but I guess we will see! I’m definitely ready for her to come NOW (might have something to do with the crazy high heat and humidity), but I am trying hard to trust God’s perfect timing in her birth!
I woke up to a strong contraction this morning (most likely a Braxton-Hicks). I’ve been experiencing lots of pressure, lower back pain, and cramping, which I believe are all good signs that things are progressing the way they should. I am most definitely waddling like a penguin, and even when I notice it and try to correct myself, I sometimes can’t help it! It is very difficult to sleep now (mainly because of trying to get comfortable, but also because of how many times a night I have to get up), but I’m using lots of pillows and that seems to help. I told Tad that you’re supposed to add a pillow each month during pregnancy… and that’s how I justify my nine pillows! haha. (Just kidding… I am only using five.)
Last week I read (well, I read most of it and skimmed some parts) Your Best Birth by Ricki Lake (producer of the documentary The Business of Being Born) while sitting in Barnes and Noble. It was really helpful, as Lake strongly encourages women to make natural choices regarding their birth experience.
I’m sorry I still haven’t posted pictures of our nursery! I still have a couple of small things I want to do in there before I take and post all of the “reveal” pictures. Hoping to do that this weekend! For now, here’s a teaser!
