And The Journey Begins...: Ryland's Baby Room

Here it goes...my first blog! I got this idea from my friend Ashley who started a blog when she had her first little girl. She is able to go online at any moment (because now you can blog from your phone!!) and capture a memory that might be forgotten if you are not at home with a pen and your baby book in hand the minute it happens! I got on her blog the other day and was able to look for hours at how her little girls are growing! So, I decided that this would be the perfect way to catalogue my baby's life and share it with family and friends. While Ryland has not made an appearance just yet (5 more weeks!), I figured I would get this all figured out so I was a real pro when he got here!
I am waiting on my maternity pictures to come back, so the first post will be of Ryland's baby room! I am so happy that it is finally finished! It was definitely a major stress! I never thought it would be so hard to pick out baby bedding! Oh but it is! Poor Sean would come home some nights from work only to find me sitting on the bed in tears because I had googled for hours and came up empty with no bedding or even any ideas of what I wanted! I asked advice from my mommy friends...find a "theme" you like they told me and then go from there! Well, what do you do when you can't find a bear, lamb or monkey that you just feel in love with...I was lucky in one of my internet searches and found a website (polkatotdesigns.com) where you design your own baby bedding! While I do not find myself a very "creative" person, they did have examples of other sets that they had previously made! PERFECT! I am all about not re-inventing the wheel!!! Sean and I made a list of our top 10 favorites and came up with a brown, blue, white color scheme! After that the rest was pretty easy! Pieces started to fall into place and the room came together and I must say I LOVE it! I sure hope that Ryland will too!
