Welcome to Jacqueline's "Crib"!

I've being hoping to be done with her nursery by now, but I figure it will always be a never ending project. I constantly think of ways to changing her room, but it never gets accomplished. So, here is a tour of Jacqueline's nursery.
I painted this little stool while I was pregnant. I must add that it was painted with my carpal tunnel hands, so you can imagine (for those of you who knows how painful it is) what a difficult task it was. Besides, I'm not a very crafty person. I'm a crafty-wanna-be.
Those wooden flowers were purchased at Michael's. They were super cheap. I think only .20 cents each.

I got these at Michael's as well. I glued the flowers and painted the frames. They cost only a $1! I put my picture and Kyle's as babies. We were both 6 months old. Check it out how much darker I was then he! That little corner is where I sit to nurse her every night before I kiss her, put her to sleep and hope she will sleep through the night (12 LONG hours!!!)



This piece of furniture came from my mom's house. It used to be my Step-Dad's moms. It's an antique and I love it!
The pink doll was a gift from my Tia Salma("Tia" means Aunt in Portuguese) . She sent it to Jacqueline all the way from Brazil. The frame above the furniture is my belly at 30 weeks pregnant. It says: "Children are a heritage from the Lord and the fruit of the womb is His reward" Psalm 127:3
My friend Wendy made this for her room. Such a sweet gift! I placed above the changing table.
I purchased this changing table at www.craigslist.com for $20! I keep telling myself I'll spray paint it so it will match the crib. Maybe it will get done one day... Hope you enjoyed the tour!

Tortillas

Today I attempted to bake chocolate chip cookies for the first time. It was definitely an "attempt" because they looked like tortillas! It's a mystery the reason why they turned out like this.
Regardless of how bad they looked, Kyle and I ate ALL 6 of the gigantic tortillas! It actually tasted pretty good! I think I'll go back to "break and bake"cookies!

I'm someone's MOTHER!

For the last 34 years, Mother's Day was always about celebrating my mom (which still is), but this year, I had the honor of been celebrated too. I never imagined how amazing motherhood would be. I've always knew I longed to be a mother one day. However, was not until I actually became one, that I came to realize that it's a kind of love that is indescribable. It's a love that takes over you and all the sudden you are secondary. And, that's pretty difficult task to accomplish since we (human-beings) are so self-centered. Once I became a mother, I've realized how selfish I am. All these years, it's been all about me. Now, I can't take a shower when I want to, eat or watch TV when I please. There is a little tiny person with deep blue eyes that depend on me for everything. I am her sole source of food. I can distinguish her cry in a room full of babies. I can watch with contentment her play with her tiny hands and feet as if I'm watching one of my favorite movies. Once I became a mother, I started to understand better how God love for us. God loves us unconditionally. He always forgives. He wants a deep relationship with us. He pursue us. He disciple us. He loves us no matter. "Thank you , Lord, for allowing me to be a mother! Now I understand a bit more about your love for me. It's an amazing love!"

Jacqueline, you're the fruit of my womb, the joy of my life!
