What a long 24 hours it has been. I started having contractions last night. Last night they weren’t too bad. Strong enough to make me stop and they took my breath away. But they weren’t super regular so I didn’t put much thought in to them. We were busy prepping our new curriculum for Taryn last night that we started today, so I had a lot of distraction.

In the past I’ve put months and months in to designing and creating the perfect nursery for the other kids. Especially Jude and Taryn. Walk down memory lane? Jude’s nursery here. Taryn’s here. For each, it was a room of their own and not a shared space. Beyond that, we didn’t put much thought in to what was in the room outside of aesthetics. This room was a whole new ball game, both being a shared […]
