Our Nursery for Baby Boy

It still blows my mind that we will be welcoming a new bundle of joy. We were on the fence for quite some time about growing our family (if, when, all those questions you constantly think of). For some reason I never envisioned it to be in the home we currently live in. I couldn't wrap my head around putting a baby in the spare room upstairs. Thanks to my husband for immediately showing me with some new paint on the walls it could become a brand new space. What a difference it made! With our last room having a bit more color & wall decals I felt like this time I wanted something more neutral. I had envisioned whites, greys, along with stripes, polka dots & some natural tones as well. With not knowing the gender until 22 weeks I felt it was our best bet to keep it quite gender neutral anyhow. Here is how it looks below:

Nesting, Nesting & more Nesting

Feels like I have been going through a lot of changes lately (not just the fact I have a baby growing inside of me) but at home too. All of a sudden it hit me that I wanted to set up a nursery, re-do a bathroom, paint furniture, plant a garden, clean the entire house top to bottom & the list goes on.... I've heard of this "nesting" phase but I thought it wouldn't effect me. I always felt I was on top of cleaning & having our house organized. Now it feels like time is of the essence and there are a million things to be done! I better start making my list of to-do's as we are on the 15 week countdown. When did this pregnancy start going so quickly?! 

We have accomplished a lot in the nursery. We put up our polka dot Urban Wall decals, set up the dressers (filled with clothes, shoes, blankets etc.) crib & shelf, picked up an area rug & now just waiting for prints to arrive to complete our gallery wall. Starting to feel like a cozy little room for our baby, thanks to my wonderful husband for all the work he has put into it. 

Here's a sneak peek of what we have been up to:

Baby girl is moving like crazy! I'm not sure if she is trying to get my attention or she is trying to burn off energy. Thankfully it's during the day so I can still get a good nights sleep (knock on wood). I can actually see my stomach moving now. Very neat! Appetite still feels the same, lots of fresh fruit seems to be what I "crave". I can't seem to get enough of navel oranges. We are just over 6 months now & everyone seems to notice within the last week that I finally look pregnant. No denying the baby bump now. This week baby girl will start to open her eyelids. Also, if the belly is poked she will most likely move around. So amazing to learn the new developments week by week.
