We have been super busy preparing for baby Ben. We have about 3 months until his arrival. This weekend we went to dad and mom's and picked up the crib and dresser. Chris painted the nursery and he installed shelves for his closet. Below are a few pictures of our inspiration for Ben's nursery. I would describe it as Vintage-American-Superhero. I will post pictures once it is all complete. Here is a little sneak peek too...Bentley loves being in the sun in the nursery.
We are having so much fun preparing for him.
My devotional book said it best...
" As I think about how much joy I've gotten from decorating a room for my little one, my mind quickly goes to how much joy Christ must take in preparing a heavenly place for us...What joy He will have when He brings us home!" - Waiting in Wonder by Catherine Claire Larson
We are already becoming pretty busy just during this time preparing for Ben. We only have three months left with just the two of us (+Bentley). Soon we will be the three of us (+Bentley). I want to make sure Chris and I cherish this time we have together so for Valentine's Day I made him a "Countdown to Baby Date Jar." This best thing I can give him is my time.
It has 10 dates for us to go on before the big day. Some of them I have already prepaid for through gift cards and I included those in the jar too. I also attached a little heart note just for him. We are both looking forward to our dates. They each have a special meaning or reason behind them. You can see the date cards and date jar below.
This time is so precious to us.

Our Dates
Chris surprised me with roses, gummy bears (my favorite), and a charm for my necklace. It is the sweetest gift as it is the first gift from Benjamin too.
With Love,
Jane
