A few little details . . .

I've gotten a few things up in the baby's room, now.
A pillow I made to sit in the rocker. I have to have one for my back. It's baby blue, brown circles with green stitching.

Ok, I know I'm totally copying Seph. It's not a single white female thing, I promise.
It's a why fix it when it's not broke thing. She's a genious. What can I say?


The name's offical. Benjamin Xander. Xander is short for Alexander (we thought that was too long). I wish Benjamin wasn't so popular. I wish the bad guy from LOST didn't have the same name, but we can't put this off any longer. (like people are going to remember LOST in 10 yrs). A decision had to be made. I made these letters on canvases from Hobby Lobby, scrapbooking paper, and black paint. I was going to put Benjamin on there, too, but I was scared I'd mess it up.


lil' truck on top of the shelves above the dresser. Chris was excited about this one.
THREE MORE WEEKS!!! I'm not totally ready, but physically, it couldn't come sooner. I know that caring for a newborn after a surgery is much harder than carrying around a medicine ball in your belly, so I'll wait my three weeks. Someone really needs to come over and paint my toenails for me though.

It's amazing how the accesories really make the room. I'm amazed you didn't mess up just the Ben.

SOOOO cute. I'm jealous. I think mom will be the only one who thinks of Ben Linus when she thinks of Ben. The rest of the world knows other Bens that come before Ben Linus.

Ok, regarding Ben. I'm just worried the other boys are going to notice Ben's name is in the Bible.
I like Ben. I have too many grandchildren to remember middle names. Sad but true.

I am also starting to forget birthdays so if you don't get your check, please send me a bill.

love the room!
I don't care who you copied. That is stinking cute!
