The Nursery - Ta Da!!

Ok, so it's far from being complete but here's a sneak peak at the Nursery (with our furraby Cali acting as primo model). We still have shelving, curtains and decoration to put up, and of course we will rearrange till we're completely satisfied as we'll have a glider and some shelving also to squeeze in the room!

Believe me, from the lime green gloss walls with the ancient dinasaur border trim that was plastered to the ceiling from the previous owners (I'm sure their 2 yr old son was just thrilled with the decor! Us on the other hand, think NOT), this is a HUGE makeover!!! Oh and check out the rug I found...whatcha think? I figured if I laid it out I could stare at it for the next 80 days and figure out if I like it or not. I mean its a huge decision for a non decision maker to make!

80 Days & Counting!

Oh My God, ONLY 80 days left!! But who's counting right? I AM!!!

With a fresh coat (or 5) of paint on the walls, the nursery is finally coming together. If anything teaches you patience before a baby is born, it's putting nursery furniture together, so if anyone needs a quick refresher course, come right over! There's still so much to do! With a house that was built in '58 yeah there's a lot more refurb work then you would imagine, at first sight. So we're working on redoing the closet and trying to figure out why the baseboards aren't flush with the walls...Again, come right over! Special thanks to Kabby & Pops (Tina & Phil) for coming in to town to do all of that for us - we love you!

Seriously though, it's looking really pretty and in the end it'll be fit for our princess. I washed my first load of baby laundry last night and to be honest it felt kind of surreal as I was sitting on the bed folding it all and making up our little girls crib it kind of all fell into place and then I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry till I remembered that that was just hormones, so I did both and got it out of my system! So now I'm on the search for the perfect rug to tie the room together. Wish me luck and if you have any suggestions, let me know! I'll post a pic tonight of the room progress.

Saturday my wonderful girlfriends threw me a baby shower - it was the best baby shower I've ever been to by far, my girls are just absolutely wonderful to me - they laugh when I get stretch marks and tell me yes, I'm fat, but they also assure me that it's all for a good cause and how awesome it is that "we're" having a baby. ha. I love you girls!!
