Nursery Sneak Peak Part II

My sweet mom came to town on Monday and Tuesday of this week for some dental work, but also to help me with my nursery since I hadn't done too much with it yet. We have all the main items (crib and changing table thanks to The Hales', our glider thanks to my in-laws, & our bedding thanks to my parents, we just hadn't put anything together or actually set it out and up since we've been using that bedroom for guests up until now. We had such fun and really had a good time getting everything ready for Little Red. The nursery's, obviously, very plain right now, but will get there I'm sure. My sis had a few hand-me-downs that we washed and put up for immediate use once the baby gets here so that helped, plus she gave us her darling little cradle that my niece, London, slept in when she was a newborn so we were thrilled to get all of that from them. Thanks sis, and thanks, Brian, for putting everything together!

Also, today is my daddy's birthday! Happy 65th birthday, Ken Douglass!! We love you and wish you many many more!

Poor Nixie....I don’t think she’s quite sure about what’s happening around Casa de Herring these days. Do you see her in the baby’s Moses Basket? I think she thinks that 'bed' is for her!

And, lastly: the best picture of all! Do you see something with eyes, ears, and grey in complexion down below on that bottom shelf of the changing table?? I think she thinks those clothes and baby furniture are for her! :) Not to worry: we have a plan! We’ve actually read about how to bring home a new baby to your pet because this is very important to us and we want to do this right. We don’t want to send our ‘1st ‘ baby over the edge so we’ve really done our research. Brian is going to come home with a blanket that’s got the baby’s scent on it a few days before we come home with the baby to let her sleep with it and keep it in her bed so she’s used to the scent and then when we get home I plan to really make a conscious effort, as will Brian, to still love on her like we do the baby. She’ll be fine, it will just be different for a while. I have heard Schnauzers are, for the most part, fabulous family dogs so here's hopin'!

Cheers,
