Dear Baby

I can’t help it. I know this little guy(girl?) inside me is only about 4 inches long - but I’ve been thinking about cool nurseries since the day that stick had two blue lines. Brent and I have decided we want a gender neutral nursery. We want something outside of the typical pink and ruffles or sailboats and blue -  Brent plans to paint a huge tree mural on one wall, and then we’re going to paint colorful wooden birdhouses to “hang” in the tree. Over the baby’s crib we plan to hang a bird mobile to tie in with the mural. That’s as far as our nursery design ideas had gone - UNTIL LAST WEEKEND!

I happened upon the coolest thing. The pictures above is of a 9 year old little boy with autism. He has a passion for drawing. Specifically, for drawing sharks. His mom has an etsy shop and he asked if she would sell some of his shark drawings there.  Well, how was I supposed to pass up an opportunity to buy the early works of a possibly prodigious shark artist?

So now if anyone asks what we’re doing in Baby Jordan’s nursery, I get to say “We’re doing birds and trees AND sharks!” Awesome.

I don’t know exactly where these cool framed drawings are going to hang- but I’m certain that our kid is going to love them for years to come.

Love,

M
