The Name and Nursery!!!

We have decided on a name.......

Mary Maddox Jernigan!!!

We will call her Maddox.

Mary Maddox is my great grandmother's name and Maddox is my mom's maiden name. This was Dan's favorite name that we were contemplating. That made it easier for me because I liked all the names we were talking about the same. It is so much fun to have decided on one and actually call her her name!

Now on to the decorating!


Maddox’s Crib

Roth Nantucket-pink
Embroidered scalloped edge with dots
This will be used as the gathered bed skirt:

Roth Country Gingham- pink
This will be used as the sheet, cording on the bumper and the ties.
I also might use this as a skirt too. It would hang out from under the dot fabric. Which would look like this:

Ciao- Meadow Blue
The diamonds don’t look that small really. It looks a lot better/bigger in person. The dragonflies look stamped. The body is white and pink and the wings are yellow and white.
This will be used as the outside of the bumper.

Matelasse Diamond- white
This fabric is so soft. It feels like a quilt. It will be used as the inside of the bumper and I will have her initials monogrammed in a soft pink right in the center kind of like this:


For the drapes, I will use one or two of these fabrics and the walls will be a very, very soft pink. I still need a rocking chair. I don't know if I want to buy an upholstered chair or use my grandmother's wooden rocker and get some cushions made...

Any suggestions on which fabric(s) I should use for the drapes???

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!

Dan and I went yesterday to the doctor and we were desperately hoping that we would be able to find out what this baby was in my tummy. I am just 15 weeks, but the ultrasound tech said last time we went that she would probably be able to tell. We were so excited we got there early and she was able to take us right back and give us a little more time than normal. It was so neat to see this sweet baby. She had grown so much since the last time and you could see so much more. She really looked like a little baby. She also was moving around ALOT. I guess she is going to take after her Daddy. It is hard to believe that I can not feel her moving and she is about the size of an average hand... esspeically as much as she was moving yesterday. We finally got the view we wanted and she told us it was pretty certain that it was a GIRL! I could see the " 3 lines" or the "hamburger" as they say really clearly. So we got both Mom and Dad to come in a take a peek at their granddaughter. We couldn't let them miss out on it.



What makes it even more exciting is that Anna, my best friend, is having a girl in October and Grover, one of Dan's best friend, is having a girl toward the end July so we will have really good excuses to see them more often! Hopefully they will all become as good of friends as we are!!

So if you know me, I am already making plans to start decorating the nursery. That is right up my ally! I am going next week to look at fabric so hopefully I'll come back with some ideas.

Until then, have a fun Fourth of July!!!
