Harbor's Nursery Update

Mom has been bringing Harbor lots of fun, little gifts and I think she is worried that Bichon has been feeling left out. Bichon loves her new clothes! : ) Thanks, Gigi. : )



David worked hard to apply a verse to one wall in Harbor's nursery. It came out really sweet!







A little crown for Harbor's coat or bathrobe



Harbor's nursery is still a work in progress, but I am loving this fun area rug I found at Target. I am really happy with the color scheme. I like that the colors are dark and rich- they seem to match the rest of the house really well.




































My family is a little on the fanatical side when it comes to the Bikes, Blues, and BBQ rally Fayetteville puts on every year. We all love it! Since we all have bikes and ride, it is so much fun to meet up with our friends and visit. We have gone every year for the past three years with the Hickmans. This last Friday night, we met up with them and went to Dickson Street to have dinner with my family at Joses. Amy rode on the bike with David, and I rode in the car with her hubby and Zayde. See Amy's blog for more details and pictures. : )

















Mom, dad, and me



Coincidentally, my dad, uncle, and David all wore the same shirt from the rally back in 2005. Strange!!! : )









Have I mentioned to you how excited my family is about this little Harbor William? : ) My mom is always sewing something special up, and I just had to show you some of the new things she brought over this weekend. And just to clarify, my mom doesn't own a monogramming machine. She says she wished she did. She has found a little boutique that is really fast though, and she is now their number one fan!






















David finally had some time to assemble our new ottoman in the living room. Mom and I went shopping at Oops on Saturday and I found this really fun red tray for a steal! I still wanted to be able to have our drink coaster option, and this tray does the trick. I'm relieved to know that Harbor won't knock himself out once he starts crawling and pulling up.







In other news, I had a doctor's visit today. I am 32 weeks and have gained another two lbs., putting my total at 21 lbs. David went with me today, so it was fun to be able to include him in all the excitement of a 15 minute visit. Ha, ha! I am still measuring big- three weeks ahead of schedule. Dr. Reiter told David and I again today that he is really expecting an 8-9 pound baby, or bigger if I go over my due date. David is very proud of this, as if Harbor can actually play football straight out of the womb or something. : ) All else was great- heartbeat in the 140's, no swelling yet, good blood pressure. I hope this trend continues.

Next week I will post mom's finished nursery (sooo cute!!) and the ornaments I bought at Oops for Harbor's firt Christmas tree. : )

Have a blessed week!

Love,
Jessica

  6. Oh Jess. That nursery is just PRECIOUS! Wow. I love it. Its youthful and warm, but not sugary sweet. That probably makes very little sense, but I think it is adorable! I absolutely LOVE your verse on the wall. That is so perfect. I loved sitting in Reagan's finished nursery before she arrived and having a little devotional time. I highly recommend doing that :) You're still looking great!

  11. Love all the pictures from Bikes, Blues & BBQ, its fun to see all the different bikes & eat some good food & enjoy the Fall weather. This event brings out the crazyness too, but still fun to see all the different bikes & the paint jobs on them. Quite a work of art. And Dad, Tim & David wearing the same shirt, that was funny, of all the shirts they could of worn, ha!!!!I loved making most everything I have had montgrammed, but I didn't start till I found out if you were having a boy or girl & what the name might be. So our little buddle of joy would have items that was made just for him, ha!!!I may not be able to scrapbook but I can sew, sew why not, ha!!!!Play on words, ha!!!Love you...Mom

  12. What a great weekend with family & friends ;)! I think it is so neat that you all ride bikes!!!! I am surprised that none of Harbor's clothes have not been Harley themed ;)!

    Love the tag blanket! Vance has one and he adores it ;).

  13. What boutique does she go to for embroidery? I've been looking for a place to take things to! I love the scripture on the wall. Did you find the lettering online? I want to do something like that for Brooklynn's room! Your parents the Byrds are too cute at BB&BBQ--I remember running into all of you several years ago. You were adorable decked out in leathers! (oh, and I went to OOPS! on Friday)

  14. It looks like you had a TON of fun! Amy looked so cute on the motorcycle. I was thinking that you all might have to get one of those side car things so Harbor can ride along! :)

    Love the nursery. The picture above the dresser/changer is adorable......is that cork board? I also like all the frames and toy basket. I hope you have a bigger toy basket though, I imagine that he will be stockpiled with toys for sure.

    I don't see any Razorback items?? Hmmmmm I'm sure they are all hanging in his closet. LOL

    Oh and I had to laugh when I saw the new rug you got from Target! My friend just bought the same rug for her son's room last week when we went shopping. We started our Christmas shopping last week.

  20. You still look great! Love the verse in Harbor's room and all the neat goodies your om has been making! With all that she has spent on monogramming, you guys could probably buy a machine! :)

  21. Okay---Little Mr. Harbor is going to be greatly loved. I love the Nursery and can not wait to see the one at Grandma's house. The monogrammed stuff is AWESOME. Okay, so your Mom should buy the machine...we could all keep her busy and she is spending a small fortune. It is all so cute and so are YOU! I really enjoy reading all your post. Not too much longer and the Bichon will no longer be the only baby in the house. Little Harbor is on his way!!!!!
