The cutest nursery ever!!

Blogger is making me very mad right now!!! It won't let me move pictures around so this post is going to be a little different, sorry. I steam cleaned the carpet in Laila's room today and put the last few things in her room, we think it's very cute. For my birthday, my aunt got me one of those vinyl lettering kits. It says "Such a big miracle in such a little girl." I love it, it's so true, Laila is our miracle!! I love it right above the closet, I see it everytime I walk in her room and it makes me smile.
Last weekend Scott hung her curtains, they are a pink cotton/silk blend and look really nice against the lilac wall.

My sister-in-law and I hung the shelves last week. The white basket is full of CD's for her CD player on her dresser. The white paper on the dresser is our China packing list, can't believe we leave in 5 days!!!! Her toy box is FULL of toys. It's very cute, my niece Gabrielle will get a toy out of the toy box and tell me she's borrowing it from Laila and that Laila won't mind.

We just bought the rug, it's got little purple, pink, yellow and light green polka dots all over. It looks cute, we don't like the brown carpet we have so this covers some of it.

Here's her closet and as you can tell, she's not hurting for clothes!!! These are only the 12 and 18 month sizes, her closet was too full for the next size up. They are in boxes in the basement. Her dresser and changing table are also full, lots of retail therapy while waiting for 3 years!!! We can't wait to bring her home, I can just picture her sleeping in the crib and pulling toys out of the toy box. Ahhh, what an exciting time in our lives, we are so blessed!!!!

Is this little girl going to be loved or what!?!? I love all the detail and thought you put into this precious little room for beautiful Laila.

I am so excited for all the joy your family will be blessed with.

We are blessed too! Counting the days down and the days till we come to meet you and her at the airport.

We love her without even meeting her we have prayed for her for so long we already know her.

We are praying for your travel safety and that first wonderful meeting.
