Murphy "Made": The Princess's Palace

Preparing for a baby has many perks! It was a load of fun deciding how to decorate and finding all the cute accessories for the room. When the baby was "Mason" we decided to decorate the room in farm animals. I had bought a sage bedding and was accenting in farm animals and tractors. Once we found out she was a girl, that was out the window. My sister, Tasha, wanted to make her bedding so on my lunch break one day I stopped in at Hobby Lobby and found the material of my dreams! I took pictures with my phone and emailed them to her. She bought the fabric and made my bedding in less than a week. She did a great job and I have had so many compliments on it. Thanks T! I went to Lowe's and picked out a peachy/pink color for the walls and my dad came and painted for me. I lucked up and found my crib at Hudson's for $80.00. The best part is it was one that I was looking at online and I got it for HALF PRICE!! We all know that for it to be at Hudson's something had to be wrong. It was in perfect condition but, just a week after I bought it the recall came out. The crib had a drop side on it and the recall consisted of calling and getting a part to make it a permanent side instead of allowing it to move up and down. That was perfectly fine with me especially since I got it HALF PRICE!! Sorry, just wanted to drive that point home. :) I never recommend asking me and Brent to put anything together for you. You won't have to worry about if it will hold up.. you have to worry about who is going to make it out alive. haha The Wonder Pets song "what's gonna work? Teamwork!" definitely does not apply when it comes to us working construction together! haha All in all, we made it out alive with only minor injuries and had our baby girls room ready. All we lacked was... bows and headbands!! I bet you thought I was going to say her right? No fear, the bows came in and the bags were packed. We were ready for her!! I had been having Braxton Hicks since 26 weeks and had been dilated to 1cm since 36 weeks but nothing ever happened. I failed to mention before now that MY doctor ended up going out of the country to adopted a baby when I was just starting my every week appointments. My last 4 appointments were with a different doctor everytime. I was so happy for her AND so ready to get this ADHD child out my belly that I could have cared less who delivered her just as long as they got her out! At my 37 week check up I asked the "doctor of the week" what I could do to try to make me go into labor sooner rather than later. His exact words were "go home and do what got you in this position." My water broke at 40 weeks so its safe to say... we practiced abstinence!! ;)
