Former-actress-turned-full-time mom Jewel Mische is very much excited for the birth of her baby girl, who will be named “Emerald.”
Aside from preparing for her delivery, she's also busy prepping for the baby's arrival by designing a fairy-tale inspired nursery for her.
On Monday, March 23, Jewel gave a glimpse of her baby's nursery room that's fit for a princess.
The room features romantic touches of brown and bronze complimented with an accent color of emerald green.
According to Jewel, the crib is an heirloom piece that's about 125 years old.
She wrote, “This iron bed is at least 125 years old!! You know I love [anything] vintage, more so the stories they keep.
“Well... I haven't exactly got everything checked off my to-do list for Emerald's room but I honestly don't know how it can get any more special.
“Her iron crib is a 125-year-old heirloom piece, the bedding was specially tailored for her, the mini chandelier was made in Spain, & the fairytale mirror is also vintage. This specific canopy crown is uncommon and yet I got it brand new from an auction to match her bed!”
Furthermore, she also made a personalized emblem for Baby Emerald similar to what she did to her first-born, Baby Aislah.
“The “E” hanging above her crib was made by me framed with a $2 thrift store find!! And you already know the story of some of her “heaven-sent” fine baby clothes.”
In a separate post, Jewel shared the story of how she and her husband Alex Kurzer decided to name their second child as “Emerald.”
For one, the color is one of Jewel's favorites and as it turns out, it has a deeper meaning once she's read the Bible.
In the series of photos, Jewel also couldn't help but look back at her humble beginnings and reflected at all the blessings she's received thus far.
She wrote, “Interesting fact... While I have a fervent appreciation for castle style beds, once upon a time, this mama slept on banigs (handwoven mats made out of palm).
“I co-slept with my grandparents until I was about 11 years old. I spent most of my childhood living on the farm without electricity, nothing but the cool breeze substituting the need for electric fans.
“Another classic bed from my childhood was the hammock made of ropes strung between the trees.
"My days consisted of playing outside, climbing mountains of sacks of rice, reading comic books and spending lazy afternoons on those hammocks with the soft wind gently rocking me to sleep. Ah, those were the days.
“Today, I live in a castle-like, dream home. But the best part about it is the story behind every room. Every room has a testimony of God's favor.
“They are too numerous to mention in one post. But remember, it starts from 'The house we couldn't afford... from the sellers who didn't want to sell it to us!' And the Lord just keeps pouring!”
Finally, she thanked everyone who helped set up her dream nursery for her baby girl most especially her husband who she described as the “most hands-on daddy in the world.”
She wrote, “@KurzerAlex, you're the most supportive husband and the most hands-on daddy in the world... don't worry my 'nesting' (organization mode) is far from over and you can decorate our little boy's room in the future!”
The StarStruck Season 4 alumna was six and a half months pregnant when she revealed her second pregnancy before Chritsmas of 2019.
She and her husband are currently living in the US. They also have a daughter named Aislah Rose.
