Nursery Reveal: Bringing Home Baby!
The plan for this post was for our gender reveal, and then revealing our beautiful nursery. Things obviously did not go as planned, but luckily, it worked out in its own way. I went in last Monday for my last ultrasound appointment, after a weekend of contracting a lot, and they basically didn’t let me go home. The contractions affected Gable’s heart rate slightly every time and they felt like it was safer for her to be delivered at 35.5 weeks instead of wait until 36.1. I don’t know if it would’ve still landed us in the NICU or not, but having been through that experience adds a whole other level to life. I spent this past week eating jello, binging BRAVO, and pumping milk to walk down the hall to our girl. What a crazy time because of COVID, the NICU was in lockdown and we couldn’t see her after the first day. It was really hard and I tried not to focus on that, but I also felt like she was protected in all this craziness, because who knows where visitors coming in and out, had been. We came home and got to decompress, see the kids, and clean the house (since we left in utter chaos thinking we still have 4 days to prepare). Gable came home yesterday and now our lives start… again, entering a different phase for us.
I hope you love the nursery, I’ve been so excited to share it. All the details are in the captions, and if you’re interested in shopping anything, it’s all below!
I have sat in this room and just rocked, thinking about our family, and just basking in how lucky we are with what we do have. It’s really true about having your health… it’s everything. I am thankful we did finally get to bring home our girl. Here is a little bit of our day… I wanted it to just be for us until I shared, but now I’m ready to share with all of you. Thank you all so much for your kind words, words of encouragement, DM’s, messages, and texts. I am so thankful for this community that City Peach has created, and I thank you all for being invested, and caring, in addition to keeping us in your thoughts and prayers.
The kids welcomed her so lovingly. They didn’t necessarily surprise me, but it did show another side to them, that possibly didn’t even exist until now. They love her so much and are so caring, wanting to touch her, pet her, and help with everything. This is the reason we tried again… now it’s the three of them in the world. Our family is complete.
If you’re interested in shopping any of the nursery details, you can find everything below. Pottery Barn Kids is my go-to for everything for the kids’ rooms, or supplies. Their backpacks and lunchboxes are always from there, including all their bedding… we love them! I am so thankful PBK teamed up with us to welcome our Gable into the world, and hopefully love her room for years to come.
