Update on the baby's nursery

Yes I know.. we had a perfectly fine nursery ready for this baby with Landon moving on to his big boy room. However, I always had an idea of what I wanted out of a baby's nursery and this time around I decided to try and achieve it on a fairly low budget. I'm trying to make it fairly bright and happy and practical for the future so we're not re-doing anything!
Alright! Some update photos...


There is a chair that I would really like to get for the room but it's only sold at American Walmarts and it's currently out of stock.. grrr! Hopefully i'll be able to get it before baby comes :)

I also still need to make a cute painting for the wall by the crib.. i'm thinking a cute owl sitting on a branch in the colours of the room. Also thinking of making a crib skirt to tie the room a bit together too..

The room still needs a few things for sure but it's coming along :) My mom is going to make a nice change pad cover with the fabric I have draped on it in the photo & I'm going to use that same fabric for a cute pillow. I am planning on making a cute owl mobile using these owls I made out of felt plus a few more that i'm working on. Anyone have any other good ideas to include? What else does the room need?
Thanks for reading! I'll post some final photos when the time comes :)

I'm going to be a mommy!

Well, if you haven't heard yet, now you know! I'm 24 weeks along in my pregnancy with our first bundle of joy. So far the pregnancy has gone pretty well. Luckily I did not have any morning sickness, instead of throwing up food, I inhaled it. You know how some preggos lose weight at the start of their pregnancy? I did the opposite and piled it on. Oh well, it's a healthy amount and if I didn't eat I would feel nauseous.

Jeff and I have decided to go with a midwife for several reasons and so far have had a great experience. I've had all of my blood work done and went in for the ultrasound at 19 weeks. We are so thankful that both the blood tests and ultrasound came out great! We got to see our little bean moving around and made us really think.. wow.. there's something alive in there! :)

So far the last 3 weeks have been the best weeks of the pregnancy. I have quite a bit more energy and I look pregnant. The only complaint I have is SLEEP! Or, lack thereof. I guess my hips have been swelling up like crazy and causing sciatica. Within 5 minutes of lying down on my side my hips fall asleep (like you sit too long cross legged), and then I usually wake up in the middle of the night with horrible pains in my hips, fun times! Thanks to Jeff's bright idea of icing them before bed I have minimized the pain and am sleeping a bit better.

The newest occurrence with the pregnancy is Braxton Hicks contractions. I had no idea that these could occur so early in the pregnancy, and thought it was common to get these when you were about 9 months. I guess not! They're just the tightening of my pelvic muscles and usually don't hurt. However, they have been hurting for me and usually take my breath away. I guess i'll be somewhat prepped for the real deal?

Anywho, that's all for now. Thanks for reading!
