Baby Love

Here are some pics of the nearly complete nursery. Matt picked out the baby blanket all by himself. He was quite proud of it. The crib is a gift from parents and the gliding chair is from my Grandma. The word around own is that the bedding that I reaaaaalllly wanted is on it's way here.

We have a basinette too which was given to us by Matt's cousin. Some very special babies in his family have used it. We plan on keeping it in our room for now. That way we won't be funmbling around in the dark when she wakes up in the night. Although I think after about a day or two she'll be sleeping through the night.....maybe? Maybe not.

Big thanks to everyone who contributed to the nursery. Including the closet full of clothes! We will have the best dressed baby in town. She has clothes through the summer months!

Yesterday was my baby shower in Indiana. It was great! Thanks to everyone who came out and celebrated with me...Especially Nikki, Jeannie, and Natalie for throwing me such a great party. Matt wasn't too excited about the shower until he got a gift from his sister for our baby. She tracked down a copy of his favorite children's book. I've never seen him so excited for a gift. We went and picked out a crib today (a gift from Audrey's Nonnie and Grandpa) and some bedding. I will post pictures once everything is all set-up.

Captions for the pics...
1) Mom and I were posing for a picture when the baby kicked her!
2) We will have one clean baby! We got all sorts of bath stuff!
3) A Wissler family tradition. My mom got replicas made of the handmade Christmas stockings I had as a child. Audrey's is all made, but we are waiting for her to arrive before we put her name on it...just incase
4) Matt getting the best gift ever! A copy of his favorite book, The Old Witch and the Dragon.
