Ashman's Nursery

So, now that the Ashman's room is finished (finally!), I thought I'd take you on a little tour. We'll start with the door. After years of making door signs for my friends' babies, it was my turn at last!


A sweet little door hanging from my friend Theresa.


Changing table. Given to us from a co-worker. 
Notice the cloth diaper paraphernalia on the second shelf!


Our beautiful crib - a gift from my parents. Notice the bedskirt. Homemade. :)


Above the crib hang several pictures we had taken when Asher was 1 month.


Some shelving in the corner, with my favorite toy when I was a baby sitting on top. Sandy's her name - you can probably tell she's a little worn.


Little cubbie storage for books and toys and safety supplies, blankets, etc.


Here's a close up of the vase on top of the cubbies. It was a gift from a friend in college, and I'm so glad I kept it, because it matches the room perfectly. In it I decided to tuck some keepsakes from the hospital. Including Asher's little booties and hat, and our wrist/ankle bands.


In another corner hangs a mural I painted on canvases, along with a wooden cloud painting we picked up at our favorite Farmer's Market.


A matching dresser to our crib, given to us by Michael's parents. Among the items on top is a baby book I made for Asher, and a cute little Asher train, a gift from Debbie.


And here is the absolute, hands down BEST part of the nursery.

We survived

My first day back at work. It's over. We made it. To make my first full day away EXTRA long, I went to a Christmas card making party that happened to fall on the same day - obviously wasn't my first choice! But Michael was sweet to text me pictures of what Asher was up to throughout the day.
