19 Weeks & Nursery Progress

This is us last week getting the nursery furniture from Target!  We got a great deal!

And this is the nursery before (Friday night):

I *hate* the green color!  I am so glad to see it gone!

And here is the after (with the crib!):

I love it.  I think it is going to look great!

Here is the glider:

And here is the dresser in progress:

What a disaster!  But Brent did get it all put together!  What a man!

Here are some other highlights of the week:

We had our first childbirth class on Monday, Feb 17.  It was called “Early Pregnancy” and it was pretty informative (to some).  Exciting!

And we hung out with the dogs, as usual.

And here are some of my outfits.  Maybe soon my belly will pop out.

And here are the belly shots at 19 weeks!  Kind of just looks like a beer gut

Laying down it is a little more obvious. 

Stay tuned for pics of the nursery!

Nursery–Getting Started!!!

The past two weeks have been super busy around here.  We have successfully essentially emptied the two spare bedrooms in preparation of painting them this weekend! After much debate, the “green room” (slightly smaller with only one window) will be the nursery & the “yellow room” will be a guest room - both rooms will now be the same color beige as our bedroom. 

We have donated loads of stuff, threw away tons of stuff, and moved nearly everything else out to the shed.  I have an entire Pinterest board dedicated to my “vision.”  Here are a few things I am thinking:

• Primary colors
• A vintage theme
• A gallery wall
• Colorful accessories
• Framed photos of Brent, Daddy, Arlis, and great-grandfathers

Here are a few things we have purchased so far:

The crib! (We got a GREAT deal at Target using the Red Card + a sale and purchased the matching dresser and glider to go with it.)

The rug*

*This is not the actual rug we purchased, but this is the idea.  I had one that I really liked at Target, but it was over $15o.  The one we found at WalMart was very similar but on sale for ~$60, then rang up for $49!  It is a little darker than what is pictured above and if it does not work, we will just use it in another room.

The light (Ikea)

I am so excited about this light fixture!  I saw it years ago on the internet and filed it away in my mind for a future nursery.  It was delivered just the other day!

Just a few things!!!  Can’t wait until it starts coming together!
