The Nursery

The nursery is finally finished. The only two things missing are a vinyl monogram over the crib and newborn photos over the chair. Those will come after he's born. ;)

 

 

Some bonus belly photos. I'm going to miss this buddha belly. I just love being pregnant and feeling this our little boy inside of me. It's funny because I'm at the highest weight I've ever been in my life, yet I feel so happy and comfortable with my body. It's such a miracle.

Finally, check out this baby photo of David. So stinkin' cute! I wonder if this is what our baby will look like...

Nursery update.

I thought I would share some updated nursery photos. It's definitely not done yet - but it's slowly getting there. 

(Ignore the grainy iPhone photos - I broke my favorite camera lens...)

 

 

Once he arrives, we'll hang newborn photos over the comfy chair. 

I feel the need to say that 85% of these baby clothes are bought used either on eBay or at consignment stores, and they vary from size newborn to 12 months.

Left on my list is:

 - Decide if I want window treatments

- A decorative pillow for the daybed

 - Hang photos on the wall

 - Purchase a mobile

- Decide what to put on the wall over the crib

 - Wash and iron bedding

Nursery Inspiration

I am having so much fun planning baby boy's nursery! 

I've been finding a ton of inspiration on Pinterest. Seriously, what did we do before Pinterest? Once I get back from my Norway trip, David and I are planning a trip to Ikea to get the remaining furniture and operation nursery will be in full swing. 

Here are some of the pictures I'm using for inspiration...

I can't wait to see it all come together!

Getting ready for Baby Boy

I'm 25 weeks today, only 15 weeks to go until my due date. This pregnancy is flying by! I love that random people are starting to notice my bump now. I'm so happy this baby is healthy and growing.

We bought a stroller around Thanksgiving because we found an awesome sale. It's an UPPAbaby Vista and I am in love. Georgia approves.

Baby boy has clothes in his closet! I just love coming in here and looking at all the itty bitty clothes and imagining what he'll look like.

We started working on the nursery last week. David worked so hard and painted the room a sweet baby blue. We also got the crib in, so baby officially has a place to sleep. After looking at countless cribs, I went with a Jenny Lind.

I'm planning on lots of light blue, white and beige for the nursery. I figure in a couple of years everything will be trucks, super heroes and sports, so I'm enjoying decorating the nursery sweet and simple. There's still a lot that needs to be done, but I'm trying to pace myself so that I have something to look forward to these next 15 weeks. :)

It looks like Christmas!

 

  

 

Next year we WILL have a Christmas tree!
