Name & Nursery

Considering we weren’t supposed to actually find out the baby’s gender till today, I’m quite pleased with the progress we’ve made so far. In just a few short days, with a little help from The Day’s, we’ve accomplished lots!

Most of you know his name, and it’s very special meaning to both Chap and myself…but just in case you haven’t heard, we decided (years ago) to name our baby boy ‘Winston Bruce Rollings’ a.k.a. ‘Winn’. Winston comes from three of the most remarkable and heroic men that I know: my grandfather, my father, and my brother are all named ‘Norman Winston Gourley’. Bruce comes from Chap’s grandfather ‘Alton Bruce’, a man that I know Chap admired greatly! Unfortunately, Winn won’t be able to meet his great grandfathers, however, I know that their legacy’s carry on through their sons, their grandsons, and now our son. He carries on a proud name that holds a great deal of meaning for both Chap and myself.

Winn's nursery is coming along quite nicely. This first picture is NOT our nursery...only the look I'm going for (compliments of Pottery Barn Kids) No, we aren't quite there yet, but we're making some good strides.
We are VERY lucky to have such amazing family! Krissee and Daniel came Saturday to help us paint Baby Winn's nursery...just two days after we found out we were having a boy! Who's excited?? :) K & D - thank you soooo much for everything!! You helped us make some great memories that day that I'll remember every time I walk into his room!

So, here's the progress up to this point. Chap and I probably walk in his room on average 10 times a day. There's still a lot to do, but I'm excited about the 'so far' look! Krissee and I are going to work on making his curtains next week, and we hope to have our dresser by then too!

These were a gift from sweet Mimi. Winn's first and second day hospital outfits! I teared up a little when I saw his little initials and sweet name on clothes :) Thank you so much Mimi!!
