Slowly but Surely

Nursery. In progress. Yeah. Oh so I sit here just wishing that Baby Loves room would magically put itself together because I have no motivation to so whatsoever. I have been working on little projects for her room but all I need now is to finally start putting stuff up. This is what it looked like before, when we first moved in.

Anywho, see the ugly Pepto Pink blotchy walls? (Not that there is anything wrong w/pink walls) but we definitely were not going to leave it like this. Being the paint whore that I am I immediately started looking through my paint chips, doing research, stalking blogs for ideas. Once we found out it Bean was a girl I chose a paint color that she could grow into and was not too "girly".

*PLEASE EXCUSE ALL THE JUNK ON THE FLOOR.*
..and I LOVE IT. I want her room to have a vintage-y-modern feel (yes folks I made that word up, or the spelling of it at least). I'm not working with a specific budget but I am NOT trying to break the bank either. I've scored some really good deals and have done a lot of DIY which I can't wait to share with you that I still need to blog about but I don't want to bombard you with it all at once. I will try to post about each "project" each day...I said "try".

Here are the things that I have done thus far:
- Paint the room, ceiling & closet
- Paint trim
- Put up the crib (generous gift from G-ma & G-pa Moore)
- Purchase the rug (from Target)
- Refinished dresser/changing table
- Refinished vintage dresser
- Wall letters
- Wall art



Stuff I still need to do (besides put it up) & or purchase:
- Make final decision on fabrics used for curtains/crib bedding
- Rocker/glider & ottoman
- Mobile
- Crib bedding
- DIY curtains
- Lamp
- Small side table.
- More wall art/stuff
- Poms

Doesn't seem like a whole lot left to do. I just need to get the dresser/changing table in her room (which should be tomorrow - Sat.) so I can start putting stuff up on the walls. Yes people, that's what's holding me back besides my lack of motivation lol.

Until next time my lovelies.

35/35!

So today marks 35/35. We are 35 weeks and have 35 days to go until D-Day (hopefully sooner). I do need a picture which I don't have. I will leave you with week 34.

How Far Along: 35 Weeks

Total Weight Gain: 22 lbs

Maternity Clothes: Wearing maternity bottoms & non-maternity tops. Although I'm HUGE right about now I can still manage to squeeze into them. HOWEVER, I cannot for the life of me fit my arms into my jackets from last fall.  Oh geez!

Stretch Marks: I have two tiny (about 1/8") squiggly lines on my belly. I'm definitely lathering on the creams on that baby.

Best Moment this Week: 35/35 people. That's enough to make me happy.

Movement: Oh yeah. She's on a schedule that's for sure.

Food Cravings: Not really anything specific throughout the pregnancy although this week I had a D'Jorno Four Cheese pizza 3 days in a row...and I'm still wanting another one.

Labor Signs: No..

Belly Button Innie or Outtie: Innie but it looks like it wants to come out.

What are You Looking Forward to this Week: Finishing up her nursery amongst other things.

Joined the bandwagon..finally!

So here we are after months of playing stalker-attzi to many other blogs out there I finally decided to blog. I actually decided quite awhile ago that I would be documenting my pregnancy, upcoming arrival and life after baby is born but it wasn't until now that I finally hunkered down to actually do it. So my blog doesn't look like much much now. I do plan on making it my own within time but for now this will do.

I look forward to sharing my thoughts, experiences, opinions, DIY-ing, and everything else in between.
