Cedar Jane's Nursery Tour

Well, baby Cedar will be arriving in 36 hours, so what better way to celebrate than to show off her nursery that I have spent months planning for her!

If I'm being honest with myself, I think I worked so hard planning her nursery because it felt like giving her a "normal" room would somehow help me forget that her situation is not "normal." I just want her to feel like any other kid in any way that I can, and giving her a beautiful nursery was one way I could do that.  Weird, I know.

Anyway, if you want to see a full video nursery tour, you can check it out HERE onYouTube.  Sources for everything in the nursery are listed at the bottom of this post.

The wallpaper was the inspiration for the entire room.  I knew as soon as I saw it on Etsy that it was meant for Cedar's room!


I know it's a little cheesy, but I wanted to incorporate a cedar tree print into her room, and this one just fit perfectly with the vibe I was going for!  Her Etsy shop had an inspiration image that had similar eyelashes, and so I had to copy!



I wanted something really bold and graphic for her crib sheet that wouldn't compete too much with the wallpaper.  I knew this personalized sheet would do the trick!


From the minute I saw a Juju and Jake braided crib bumper, I knew I had to incorporate one into Cedar's room.  I love how fun and unique they are.  You can get them for one side, three sides, all four sides...pretty much any way you want!  They also make adorable knot pillows!



My friend Ty got me this Z Gallerie deer head when I was pregnant with Riley 5 years ago.  I have used it in different way in all three nurseries I have designed!  For Cedar's nursery, he got painted lavender!



I love that her room can grow with her.  I'm not into really baby-ish rooms.  Using neutral furniture has allowed me to keep all the main pieces and use them for all three kids, including the crib, rocking chair, and dresser.


A look at the other side of her room.  I'm excited to change up the sayings on her letterboard, surprise her with Happy Birthday messages and whatnot.  I'm so cute. **eye-roll**


OK, so this bunny is made by Scentsy and it SMELLS!  Like, smells amazing.  Who knew they even made those?  It makes her whole nursery smell nice!


The MamaRoo won't live in here when she gets here.  I assume we will move it down to the living room or wherever we will spend the most time, but we'll see!

Also, I will clearly replace the random people in her photo frame with a picture of our family or a cute saying.  I just can't decide yet what I want to put in there...


My Instagram husband hard at work, helping me video my YouTube nursery tour!  Love this man!


I am in love with her room AND of course with her.  I can't wait to meet you on Thursday, Cedar!  We are so excited for you to join our family.  Sometimes your dad and I just sit in your room and just talk about you for a long time.  I am looking forward to snuggling with you in the rocking chair, watching you sleep in that crib, and yes...even change your diaper on the changing pad.  I look forward to all of it!!

My Birth Story--Riley James Faulk

 A warning in advance--this is really long and detailed, so if you don't want to read a detailed birth story (with pictures), then stop now!  This was an important record for me to make and I didn't want to spare any details. :) Technically the story of my labor begins on Riley’s due date: July 24, 2013.   Because I have to go back to school as a teacher very soon (my first meeting is August 14), I was desperate to see if I could use some “natural” methods to get the labor going.   So, on Wednesday, July 24 around ten in the morning I took about 1.5 ounces of castor oil, which is known to get labor kick started occasionally by basically freaking out your bowels so you have the runs—lovely.   I waited for a few hours but nothing happened at all.   Bummer.   My mother and sister came to Salt Lake and we celebrated Pioneer Day by going to temple square and having lunch at the Lion House.   After lunch I started to have some horrible pains in m...

A Blog About Love

I just wanted to spread the word about the cutest blog my friend turned me on to.  It's called "A Blog About Love." The husband and wife who write it were both previously divorced and they use the blog to share what they've learned about dealing with divorce, infertility, and most of all...how to create a happy marriage.  They also offer online classes! If you want to read the blog, they have a button titled "Start at the Beginning."  They only started the blog last year so it's easy to catch up and follow their love story.   I really like the blog because it comes from two people who have seen what does NOT work in a marriage and they have both used their difficult circumstances to make their lives better. How cute are they? Anyway, I really admire what they're doing.  The blog is a great daily marriage pick-me-up.  It gives me hope and reminds of of essentials needed to stay happy.  Check it out and let me know what you think! ...

Cedar's Orthopedic Journey!

Throughout my pregnancy, I had a TON of ultrasounds and 2 MRIs.  There have been MANY pictures taken of Cedar prior to her arrival.  Throughout all of these, doctors and ultrasound techs assured me that Cedar did not have clubfeet.  Many kids with spina bifida are also born with clubfeet--just one of those things.  I was relieved to find out that she did NOT have clubfeet, since that would just be one more thing to deal with. At these ultrasounds, many doctors also mentioned that she was in breech position (the entire pregnancy), and often commented on how her feet were up by her head, like she was folded in half.  We all laughed at her flexibility and moved on.  Regarding her breech position, doctors would often say, "Well luckily you are having a c-section, so we don't have to worry that she is breech!"  That is all anyone said. When Cedar was born, we were quite shocked when we saw her feet.  As you read in his account of Cedar's birth, Da...
