Okay so here it is. Our nursery. Now it's still not complete, but I know everyone has been asking and wanting to know why there weren't pictures posted. I did better, I did a video for you so HA!
We will be putting up a wall hanging of Jacob's firsts (Halloween, smile, tooth) over the cube organizer, we just need to get the right hanger for it. Brian has finished staining the bedroom door, so now all we have to do is put it up. Pay no attention to the junk in the hallway. There are a few more pieces of trim to be done both inside the room and the closet. The two pictures above the dresser/changing table my mom made. One is Hey Diddle Diddle and the other is Jack & Jill. She did an awesome job, they are so cool looking. The stuffed moon & cow in the corner is a prize that Brian won for Jacob at the Erie County Fair, works perfectly with our theme.
The mobile above the crib wouldn't fit on the crib so we had to hang that from the ceiling. There are 4 beautiful hand made blankets hanging on the crib. The two in the back were made by my supervisor at work. The blue one to the right was made by my best friend's mom, who is also like a mom to me. The one to the left was made by a friend I made in college. It's different from the rest because it is a hooded blanket. I can't wait to use them with Jacob because they are all so soft and cuddly. And then of course the mother goose quilt that came with the bedding. I wish you could really see Jacob's name above the crib, the pictures/video just don't do them any justice. They are really neat and not just because Jacob's mommy made them either. hahaha
In the corner where the standing light is, we will be putting our glider/ottoman. It's in now, so we just have to pay for it and go pick it up. The problem is that it's in West Seneca, kind of a drive during the week and the past few weekends have been so hectic. I also have to hang mini blinds in the window. It was too bright outside, so you weren't really able to check out the valance, but it matches the crib bedding. And last but not least the "Little Stinker" picture was painted for Jacob by my Aunt Kim.
The other big project in the nursery that needs to be done is the closet. We have the shelving for it and the new doors, just have to get in there and get it done. Hopefully it will be done by this weekend. I'm not worried about the doors, but I would like to get the shelves put in, so we can hang Jacob's clothes and have extra storage.
I'm still feeling great. He just is not ready to make his appearance yet. Stubborn just like his mom haha. That's alright though, he'll come when he's ready and when that time comes it will be perfect and it will be right.

Thanks for showing us!
Well, we are on the way! Rachel's water broke at 1am. She is at the hospital but we were told it could be another 12-14 hours (that was about 3:30am). So, we are playing the waiting game!!! But, I just wanted to share a funny story! Rachel called and told us to take our time. The Dr. told her to wait a couple hours before she came to the hospital. So, she told us to take our time. Kenny took a shower and I paced the floor. Kenny had only had two hours sleep (so he was kind of grumpy...lol) so we were stopping for coffee. Well, we went to Tim Horton's in Wrights Corners and were told that they just put a pot on and could we wait? NO...we are having a baby!!!!! So, we went over to McDonalds and sat in line
(3 cars ahead of us). Well, apparently they were having some kind of computer problem. So, we waited..and waited. There was a policeman behind us, so I got out of the car and asked him if he would back up...that our daughter was having a baby! Not only did he back up, but he left too. So, one last attempt at getting some coffee, we went to Tim Horton's way up on Transit. Well, we got the coffee...but we couldn't find the exit. We finally gave up and went out the entrance!!! Funny...poor Grandpa!!! This is how our grandson started his entrance into the world!!!!
Well, he is finally here! After 22hours of labor, Jacob finally arrived by c-section on Oct. 4th at 11:07 PM. He weighed in at 9lb.4oz. and is 20 1/2 inches long. Rachel did an awesome job. I am so proud of her!!! And Brian, well, I'm sure I don't have to tell you...he was beaming! Well, can't wait to go see them!
Hey little momma and Brian. Its Pamelot. CONGRATULATIONS. I cant wait to get all the details. I am checking out your updates on your blog (finally) and absolutely love Jacobs room. The video was such an elegant touch, especially with the beautiful song playing in the background as I checked out the video. You are just too awesome. What a great mom you will be - he will want for nothing and have a wonderful childhood in your loving care.
Its Pam again !! I left my comment before reading the other comments, so now I know about your labor. I hope you are doing well. The c-section part sucks but take it from someone who had two children the 'natural' way, you saved your "yaya" from certain destruction. Lucky girl......
Congrats Rachel and Brian! I can't wait to see pictures, I'm sure he is gorgeous!
