Clara's Nursery

When I found out I was having a girl I had a time getting into all the girl stuff simply because I had lived in boy world for so long. Every time I would look for bedding I was always drawn to the boy stuff and had a hard time deciding on girl bedding. After tons of searching I fell in love with this traditional rose bud bedding. I wish I wasn't a stresser but I am and the thought of bumpers scares me. They're the cutest part of the crib bedding but I can't bring myself to use them.

Deciding on a name for sister was not easy but I wanted to incorporate her name into the nursery somehow. Mark loved the name Kate, Luke was voting for Eliza and I was hoping for Clara or Charlotte and call her Lottie. I was in love with all the names, except for Brody's choice of course. Every time we would discuss names Brods would say, "I like Brody name, we can have two!"

A few weeks before my due date I got very sick with an ear infection, sinus infection and yeast infection. While I was laying there wanting to die I decided that I was the one suffering so it was my choice what to name her. I still wasn't totally decided on Clara or Charlotte but I knew it would be a "C" name so I went ahead and ordered a large "C" for her nursery! I was semi committed so hopefully I liked a "C" name when she arrived!

The boys have been drawing pictures for sister for weeks now and taping them up all over her nursery. After I started finalizing her nursery I knew it would crush the boys if I removed their art work so I decided to let them help. They each painted a picture of sister to hang in her nursery. I absolutely love how they turned out. The boys were so excited that they were able to help decorate her nursery and they can hardly wait for her to come!
