Decorating Naomi's Room Part 2

For Naomi's room I also made a headband holder. I found a candlestick at GoodWill for $1.98. If you look closely you can see it next to the A in the picture below:

While the paint was drying I moved onto the next part. I got an empty oatmeal container and covered it in decorative paper.

I then hot glued the oatmeal container to the candle stick.

I think it looks so adorable in the room! The neat thing about this is that I can use the inside to store more hair accessories if I need to!

The last part of decorating was the curtain and crib-skirt. Thanks to my wonderful mom these were actually really well sewn!

This is my mom working on the curtain:

Here is the curtain in the room:

Lastly we had to make the crib-skirt. I used an old sheet and cut it to fit under our crib mattress with some overhang.

Next my mom started the tedious job of making ruffles. She made a chevron ruffle, followed by 2 pink ruffles, finished off with a chevron ruffle. This was probably the longest project because of the ruffles.

Here is the finished bed skirt:

Now all we need are sheets and I need to wash that pile of baby clothing on our dresser!

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books, you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Birth Story

We wanted to share Naomi's birth story with everyone because it is such a testimony to how God provided for us and looked after me during this whole process. About 2 weeks before the due date I started to get severe back pain that woke me up in the middle of the night. The pain was so bad that it kept me up the rest of the night. After two nights of excruciating pain I went to the doctor and was told that there is nothing they can really do for back pain because I was pregnant. They prescribed some pain medication to take at night. For a couple of nights the medicine helped, but then about 3 days later I woke up again with horrible back pain. I called the doctor again and he referred me to a back specialist because they might have some other options to help with the pain. I got an appointment for Monday (April 7th) which was good because I had another rough night being up for several hours with back pain. I went to work in the morning and ...

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving started off with a sister, husbands, and dog walk before we stuffed ourselves silly! A Riegel girl tradition started many years ago after watching Winnie the Pooh. Pooh and his friends play a game where they all put a stick in the river and see whose stick comes out on the other side first. We've called it Pooh sticks since we started playing. I won! Back at the parents house ready to eat: Naomi enjoyed her first Thanksgiving meal: After Naomi's nap we went to have Thanksgiving with Jeff's family: Naomi enjoyed playing will all of the kids And Uncle Nich: Brother time:
