Project: Nursery pt 1

I've been on the fence a little (okay, a lot) on how I want baby girl's nursery to look. I've explored every option from gender neutral to all-out-girl. Then my mom's neighbor just re-did her girls room with the most spectacular pink wallpaper and offered me her extras ... and the nursery "theme" was settled on.

The idea is this: the wall paper on one wall with the rest of the walls in a light/blush pink. The ceiling will stay the same grey color, so I want to make it sort of a grey and pink themed, girly but classy/elegant. Like this:

One of the things I knew I wanted was a girly chandelier. I found the perfect one, and last night Jason and I (okay fine, Jason) installed it:

And yesterday I made my best find, an upholstered rocker/glider better than the one I'd been jonesing for from Pottery Barn Kids. At a price that I could not pass up (especially with the addition of the 20 percent off coupon I had!) Thank you DownEast Home!!

27 weeks

This is the last week of my second trimester and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest before I become to large to function normally (my bump is already starting to hinder my movement)

What 27 weeks means for baby and me

Disneyland!

I went to Disneyland last week. It was fantastic. I'll post more pictures once I download them off my camera. In the meantime, here's one I snagged off my mom's blog. If you're feeling bored, click on the picture to make it bigger and check out how cool our eyes are. We may not look like sisters at first glance, but the eyes tell all.

Baby bump: 25 weeks

2 hair appointments

1 Disneyland trip

4 walls to paint

1 glucose screening test (yuck!)

1 crib to be set up

21 more pounds to gain to reach my target weight

Until D-date.

Snow place like the cabin

We were able to go to the cabin a few weeks ago and it was so much fun! We had a packed group in the Tucker, so I got to ride up front with Jason and my dad:

Jason's been dying to build a snowman and this trip was his chance. I guess the idea was go big or go home ...

A few days ago I was looking through some old pictures and found this one of Jason:



I guess his love for snow started at an early age :)

Too cute

So I found some pictures of Jason and me as children. I know all parents worry their children will somehow be odd looking ... but I think our little girl has a pretty good shot at being cute. Right?

My lovely lady lump...

Check it out! (and forgive for the cheesy introduction)



A few things...

1. I don't know if it's the angle or the sweater, but somehow the bump is much smaller in this picture than it looks in real life. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about looking cute and tiny, but I"m not this tiny.

2. Yes, I'm in a graveyard. No, I don't know the man whose headstone is making a cameo in my first baby bump picture.

3. I bought my first pair of maternity jeans and I love them. Thank you Heidi Klum for making a maternity line that doesn't make me feel like a total frump.
