Countdown, Day 24: The Nursery

Since we're renting, we really didn't want to go through the hassle of trying to paint our nursery. Instead, we recently had the idea of hanging up childhood quilts all around the room.

Tim's mom and aunt made this one together. There's a rather poignant story behind how we came to have this quilt.

My mom made this for me, we didn't even realize the two had the same prayer until we hung them up!

My aunt made this when I was born--she was only 10!

We also have classic Pooh stuff to decorate with as well. Here's our bureau (and thanks to Tim, we have the clothes inside washed and organized into boy, girl and sizes!)

And Tim put up a shelf of stuffed animals.

The shelf is flanked by the enigmatic "www.huggable" and "www.cuddly" bears we received. If you look closely, you can also see Splash the Duck and Nibbles the Bunny. They're from our Canadian friend Karen and her family, and can pray in French and English. Tim's favorite thing to do is to start one in French, and moments later the other in English, so it sounds like the prayer is being translated.

Tim has a penchant for noise-making toys. One time early in the pregnancy, a friend and my mom took me to a consignment shop to find maternity clothes. Meanwhile, Tim discovered the toys in the back of the store. He found all of the ones that made noise and utilized their capabilities, oftentimes simultaneously. After awhile, he comes toy in hand to find me, and with a big grin on his face says excitedly, "This one plays Wagner!!"
