Best moment this week:  We are workind hard on your nursery and I love it. Today, I bought your chair/rocker for your room and I love it! It is soo super soft! It is on order and will be here in about a month.  I took this with my phone but here is what it looks like.  I'm pretty much found the bedding too and I am waiting on the fabric swatches to come in before I decide.  Daddy is ready to paint and add the bead board. It won't be long!  We can't wait to meet you, sweet baby Burkleigh!

 We also got a new washer that was delivered today!  It was part of our christmas from my parents and I am so glad we went with the top loader.  I just couldn't make up my mind about the front loaders and this one was so much bigger for a better deal.  I have washed clothes in it and it is so quiet... I love that. My other one was so noisy and this one is so much bigger too. I know it will be put to good use this summer!
