I am so excited that we finally have the big pieces of the nursery here! I can't wait to start adding the little touches to bring it all together. We decided to make the nursery an outdoor themed room (surprise surprise!) I have decided I'm not a fan of the cutesy baby looking stuff so he is going to have a more "grown-up" looking nursery (or that's my plan anyways). I am sure I will have Pinterest to thank when it is all said and done. Here is what we have so far, and the projects we are working on.
 |
| The all important crib. Thanks Nonni and Poppa for giving little man a place to sleep |
 |
| Our dresser we found at a thrift store for $25 |
 |
| Reid discovered Milk Paint which we are going to use to re-finish the dresser |
 |
| And the surprise Baby J has a name!! This is the first artwork for the nursery |
Yeah we don't have to refer to the little man as Booger or Baby J anymore as Reid and I have decided to name our son Carson Joseph Jennings! And here is how the name unfolded...
If we had a boy, we always knew his middle name was going to be Joseph after Reid's dad. His dad's name also began with a "C" so I had always liked the idea of possibly naming him something that began with a "C" too. Next piece is that if we were going to have a girl, she was going to be named after a mountain (McKinley) so we thought why not do the same for a boy too. Then we realized that the last big mountain we climbed together before we found out I was pregnant was Kit Carson! Perfect!! Not only was it a mountain name but it also started with a "C.". Hopefully one day Reid and I will be able to take Carson up the mountain which he was named after.
Stay tuned for my 24 week baby post coming on Thursday :)
