Double Blessings

Justin and I made the trek back to Dallas on Sunday night after my second shower of the weekend. His truck was loaded. Loaded to the point that our sweet pup, Laila, had just the tiniest inch of space in the backseat to lay down! To say we are 'set' for these babies would be an understatement. Our family and friends showered us with the most amazing presents for Noelle and Keegan that you could imagine. And in addition to all of the necessities, we received 25 pairs of baby shoes. Yea..... 25.

Now, the hubs and I are very particular about how we want their nursery to be set up. We painted it the most amazing green about a month ago, but the room is empty. While we aren't going with a 'theme' per say, we have chosen the color palette for the nursery. Green, turquoise, and orange accents. Like the color blocks, below!

My mom and Mamais gifted us with the cribs - adorable, sleigh style, and white! And, we are refinishing a French Provincial dresser to use in the room as a dresser/changing table combo. We also ordered a slim white bookshelf for one of the smaller walls to hold their books and keepsakes. Speaking of books - they already have quite the library, of course. So, all that we are missing is the glider. And I have been keeping a look-out for the perfect one! The room isn't huge, so I have to keep that in mind, but I also need a chair that is wide enough to nurse two babies in at once. (Which is my goal in order to keep them on the same feeding schedule and prevent nursing for two-times as long per day). 

We are struggling a bit on how to organize their closet. They are sharing a nursery, which means they are sharing one closet. Although it's not tiny, it's definitely not huge. The one bar currently in the closet is already stuffed with clothes... which means we need to re-think the layout! Thanks to Pinterest, we have found some organizing tips, and plan on making a trip to the Container Store and IKEA this weekend to see what we can find.

Since my traveling privileges have now come to an end, we will be spending every weekend in Dallas until the babies arrive. Over the next few weeks we will be putting furniture together and starting the decorating! The fun part! I plan to document it all here, so check back!
