I posted about a month ago that my grandmother asked me if I would be interested in using the crib that my great-grandfather built for her for our baby. If you want to read about it, click the link HERE.
To be honest, I had forgotten all about the crib. I think I have been spending more of my time trying to move forward from the loss we experienced and getting my heart ready for our next try. I have been asking God to prepare me for this next cycle and although I know I will NEVER forget this experience, I want to stay focused on the present and eventually the future.
Well, He couldn't have answered me in a BIGGER way. I got a phone call from my parents that my grandmother had the crib refinished for me and she brought it over to my parent's house so they could deliver it to me on their next trip to Florida.
Here are a few pics that my mom sent me...

Isn't it SO beautiful??? And the history behind how it was made just makes me SO HAPPY!!
We are planning on getting another crib for our actual nursery, but my plan is to put this crib in our bedroom for when the baby is still small. My great grandfather built this crib over 75 years ago, so I'm headed to go look up crib safety regulations right now. My grandmother did have the furniture company fix thesliding crib rail so it is no longer a drop-side crib. But I'm sure there are so many more safety regulations I need to check.
Just the thought of placing our baby in this crib makes my heart skip a beat :)

I agree with Kendra!! Your day is coming, my friend!! Love you!! :)
What a special crib filled with such history. Good for you for looking into crib safety. I'm sure the crib is fine, especially if it's in your room and you are right next to it with baby in it. :)
I love it! It really is a beautiful crib with such a beautiful story. You're going to be such an amazing mother.
Hello there, I just stumbled upon your blog. So I am your newest member (^^,)
What a beautiful crib, and even more priceless is that it is hand made by your great grandad.
I love to look up the meaning of names, and your name is so beautiful, so here's what I found...
Inherent meaning; My God has answered me.
Spiritual Connotation; Important.
Scripture; Genesis 21;17 Do not be afraid; gor God has heard the voice of the boy where he is
Looking forward to getting to know you.

Lianna,
I know you posted this a while ago, but I just wanted to comment to let you know that I've been praying for you! When I saw this post about this crib that your great grandfather built, I just smiled so big thinking about y'all having this crib, and continuing to speak that baby into your life! I know that one day you will have a sweet miracle to sleep in it, and I am praying for you daily until that time comes! What a beautiful piece of furniture to be handed down your family! Big hugs, and love in Christ!
Just make sure u can't fit a soda can through the slats! That's the regulation! Good luck! :) best wishes on a safe healthy pregnancy!
