:: 25 Weeks :: Nursery Update & Over the Moon

 

Welcome to week 25!

 

 Something about being 25 weeks felt like a big milestone.

I feel like the next one will be 30 weeks. 

This has been a week of sickness. Kevin and I both caught an awful cold.
We finally went to the doctors on Monday and they put me on some antibiotics along with taking some other meds too. It's definitely helped! I feel like I'm on the up now. Still stuffy and still can't hear in my left ear! BUT thankfully, I'm not feeling as miserable and can function again.

In baby news: our little guy is moving up a storm now.
Every time I lay down he decides it's time to let mama know he's there. ;)
I don't mind though, I really love feeling him move.

 

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY! 

{ I love how you can see the shape of his heart so well } 

Kevin and I are seriously over the moon and can't wait to meet our little guy. 
He's definitely our little Valentine.
We daydream about him, and talk all about how he's going to have us wrapped around his little finger. I can't wait to see his little feet and hands!
Something about baby feet and hands that makes my heart melt. 
Who knew love could feel like this?! I sure didn't! 

:: Nursery Update ::

I changed my nursery mood board.
Sometimes it takes me awhile to settle and make up my mind on things, and this is one of them. ;)

(I'll finally be ordering this weekend! I'm excited)

Despite the sickness I forced myself to start painting the dresser. 

I was too anxious to wait, and it was a good distraction over the weekend, while being cooped up. 

I'll be finishing it this weekend. :)

It's going to be a very light whitish grey. 

I started out painting it pure white, but the paint I bought was NOT working out. 

Without going into all the details, I decided to switch paints and go with a different color. 

I also don't think I'm going to distress the dresser. When it comes to decor in our house, Kevin and I aren't the biggest fans of distressed items. We like vintage, but with more of a modern twist.
Who knows though, I might change my mind again, we'll see. ;P

(ignore my PINK dinning room chairs. They clash in this room, and I'm in the process of re-doing those too. They used to match when we had the dinning room table set up in the other room). ;)

Kevin finished the birch stencil! It looks really great. 

I really appreciate the time and effort he put into it. It wasn't a quick and easy project. 

Especially for a guy, who's not the craftiest. ;)

Another decision I'm stuck on is picking a glider. 
I'm picky about the color, and would love for it to match the room well, but some are so expensive! 
Any suggestions?   
 
Cheers to 25 weeks, and on to many more!

:: 24 Weeks ::

 

Welcome to week 24!

This week... hmm, kind of a blur in this moment,

 because as I type I'm nursing off the worst cold I've had in awhile. 

I am however thankful that it's not the flu. Thank you Lord. 

Congestion is awful though. Not being able to breathe well pretty much stinks!

Praying it passes quickly. 

Anyways...

This week, little guy stepped up his kicking to a whole new level.
It seems like it happened overnight too.
All of a sudden I can feel him A LOT more and on the outside now. Which is really
neat for Kevin and I. He's been able to feel him moving and kicking a lot this week.
Super special. Love it. :)

Kevin began painting the stencil on one of the nursery walls.
This is the wall I plan on putting the crib against.

It's turing out really well! He'll be finishing it this weekend. 

Here's the Etsy shop I bought the stencil from :: OLIVE LEAF STENCILS

  
We also found a very nice solid dresser at a re-sale shop in town (the DAV).
We're probably going to paint it white and distress it a little. I think the brown showing through will
go well with the woodsy theme. I'm half tempted to leave it brown, but I'd like to lighten the room more, and I think a white dresser will help that. 

Cheers to 24 weeks!
