Designing a Space for Baby in Master Bedroom

Our house isn’t small, but it isn’t huge either. We have three main bedrooms upstairs, Elyse has one and Jase has the other. I knew that I did’t want to put Jase and Elyse in the same room, so clearly the boys would end up sharing. I didn’t want Jude keeping Jase up at night, so I knew I would need to design a space for a baby in our master bedroom. When designing this space, I wasn’t sure how long he would be using it, so I wanted to make sure it could last for as long as I needed it to. I wanted Jude to be sleeping consistently through the night before moving  him in with Jase, so this space for baby in the master bedroom had to be able to grow with him if needed.

 

 

Designing a space for baby in master bedroom.

In designing this space for a baby in our master bedroom, I didn’t want it to feel like there was a baby taking over our room. I still wanted it to feel like it was our space – there was just a baby rooming in. So I tried to tie in the baby items with our room decor and use art that could bring it all together.

I used a few baskets to store items that we would need regularly in our room, such as sleep sacks, bibs, hats, and diapers. I also stacked all his blankets on the shelf, put a diaper pail, and a small laundry hamper to keep his clothes separate. We also used our Incredibundles box to store car seat covers, nursing covers, and changing pads that I would need to change out here and there. Everything else is stored in the boy’s room.

Jude sleeps in our room at night, but takes all of his naps in their shared bedroom throughout the day so he is still getting accustomed to his crib. I am so glad that I set it up this way before he got here. He has probably been our child with the most sleep problems. He was a great sleeper at 5 weeks…then the four month sleep regression happened…then he caught a cold…and I am just over here reminding myself that I will one day sleep again. So for now, I am glad he is not in the room keeping his brother up all night.

I have been in love with this quote for a long time and knew that I just had to have it on a sign. It seemed like the perfect sign to go in a master bedroom, and I knew it would also be able to tie in the baby area with the rest of the room. When I came across The Inspired Momma and her beautiful work, I knew her pieces would be perfect. I couldn’t be happier with the way the beautiful sign turned out and the way it just completed this little area.

Read more about The Inspired Momma below:

“I started The Inspired Momma just around two years ago. I am a stay at home mom and after the birth of our third baby in January 205, I felt like I needed a little escape. For me, being creative is an outlet. It allows me to relax, rejuvenate and come back to being a mommy at 100%.

I specialize in making wooden signs and enjoy doing custom orders that challenge me and inspire me to create items I maybe wouldn’t normally create.”

We all know what it’s like to need something that helps us be someone outside of mama! I love seeing other moms chase those dreams and find something that they’re passionate about.

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
