Surprise!! Baby Shower & Pics of Nursery

Well, we finally finished the nursery/guest room on Monday. It was a great feeling to get it done before little Camille Blair (yes, that is going to be her name) needs it. Here are some pics of the little princess's room (and your room for any of you who come visit us).


First, this is the before picture of the changing table. I have to praise Chris' handyman/woodworking abilities. He re-finished this piece of furniture so it would match the crib and dresser we bought, and I have to admit he did a fabulous job.

Doesn't it look like it is part of the set? (The little blanket in the shadow box is one of Chris' baby blankets.)

The crib with her bedding and the temporary holding place of most of her blankets

The crib with the little shelf that will probably house pictures of her cousins

Her dresser


The guest bed on the other side of the room

And, oh my goodness! Karen and Erin are the awesomest friends and planned a surprise baby shower for me! They told me it was going to be a week from last night, but it was really last night. It was really fun, and so many wonderful ladies celebrated with us. Everyone was so generous, and little Camille was again spoiled with some precious ensembles. Is it too early to call her a clothes horse (in a nice way, of course)? Thank you to all of you for coming and for the wonderful gifts! Here are some pics of the evening:


Really soft toy (Camille got some of the cutest lamb clothes, a towel, a bib, and this really cute toy. Isn't that appropriate since my first given name is Mary?)

Most of the Attendees

When will she come and how big will she be? (There were also signs around with titles of ABBA songs...these girls love a theme! :))

Whoo hoo! A Baby Bjorn!

Cute red dress

36 Weeks


I am getting so close!!! This is both exciting and scary. Although, her nursery is nearing completion, so I am feeling better about that. But, I still have some training left to do at work so my co-workers will not be cursing my name (as much) while I am out.

Anyway, my stats and her stats are both fine. She is in fact a girl (confirmed via another sonogram), and is weighing in at approximately 6 lbs 6 oz (60th percentile). If I go into labor now, they will not stop me. So, although I hope she waits another month, we would be happy to welcome her sooner.
