Our sweetheart's room...

When we found out we'd be going back to Russia much sooner, I got working on Maella's room. It came together quite quickly and it's so sweet. It's easy to imagine her there. Some nights I just rock in the chair and say prayers for her. I used to do the same thing when I was expecting my boys, down to the last weeks of my pregnancy. I'd sit in their nursery and just dream.

This last picture is of a teddy we made for Maella at Build-a-Bear Workshop. In each of her handpaws is a voice recordable sound device. When Maella presses the paws... she'll hear a personal message from each of us. Ethan was the first one in our family to get a bear and he named it Bear Eisenga. When Owen got his the name given was Brother Bear Eisenga. So we fittingly named Maella's bear, Sister Bear Eisenga. On Sister Bear's lap is a blanket I made for Maella last week. It's called a taggy blanket. One side is a soft satin and the other a plush fuzzy pink fabric. Tucked between the layers and sticking out are folded ribbons, creating tags. Babies love to play with tags!
