2020 has been a bit challenging so far this year. We’ve had a few setbacks but we are learning to take everything one day at a time and stay grateful for all that we have. With my recent tumble down the stairs that led to a pretty bad sprained ankle and an even more recent labor scare, we knew we needed to finish up the nursery and fast.
Before we get to the nursery we have to give a shout out to the Kansas City Chiefs! This year may have not started out the best for us, but the Chiefs have definitely lifted our spirits! We had the best time cheering on the Chiefs to their first Superbowl win in 50 years – I still can’t believe I’m typing that! I am still so in love with this city and our team for such an incredible journey, we’ve probably watched every highlight and interview out there and the excitement still hasn’t died down! We wanted to go to the parade so bad but I didn’t want to become famous for having a baby at the parade alongside a million other Chiefs fans. So we had our own party here at home watching it on TV.
Back to Baby Boy’s room. Unfortunately I am not much help at the moment since I am supposed to stay off my ankle as much as possible. Fortunately I have an amazing husband and an incredibly helpful family that have jumped in to help. We are still putting the finishing touches together in the dining room, but we wanted to share some pics of Baby Boy Schorr’s nursery.
You may be looking for a crib but we decided to skip it this time. Neither of our girls slept in a crib so we chose to use the Queen mattresses we had in storage and found a cute headboard on Marketplace. So this room is now the nursery / guest bedroom.
Of course we can’t forget the closet! We are leaving it open right now because I am still deciding on which closet doors I like the best. It definitely feels a lot more sparse than your sisters’ closets do, but I promise your drawers are full of clothes. And you already have your first Mahomes jersey to welcome you into the Chiefs Kingdom. (You may come out singing “Red Kingdom” from the number of times you’ve heard it these past few weeks).
Baby boy we are ready to meet you, but if you can hold out for a few more weeks, Mama would sure appreciate the extra healing time. I know you are getting cramped in there because I can see the outline of your foot every time you jam it through my ribs, but don’t rush. I already know you’re going to be a night owl like your sisters were, but if you want to give me a break from your all night gymnastics marathon every once in awhile, that would be great. Your sisters are really excited to meet you and teach you all their favorite things – but no rush, we’ve got all the time in the world.
