Nursery Update

This memorial day weekend Ben and I focused on the nursery! Now that I am 31 weeks we are in full mode to get things together! Ben has done such a great job hanging different items and has helped out more than he realizes (this big ole' belly gets in the way more than I realize it would)!

 I just love the curtains. They were a gift from my grandmother, they came from Pottery Barn. What is really nice about them is they are blackout curtains so hopefully she will take some good naps in there!

These cute boxes came from Target! They don't hold a whole lot of things but I just love them!

My friend Kaylee gave us the mirror. We (I mean Ben) spray painted it white and it matches perfectly!!

We got this cute bow holder from a co-worker!

 Ben picked out this sign at Hobby Lobby- I am glad he is so involved and adding his own personal touch to the nursery!

Still my favorite part of the room; the "reading area"

The only thing left is the rocker that my mom is cleaning up and a floor lamp.

Nursery Update

I am so excited about how Janie Beth's nursery is coming together! My vision is slowly but surely coming life!! 

Update since last post: Reading Area (at least this is what I am calling it)

A big thanks goes to my husband for hanging the selves! 

These awesome bookshelves came from Ikea! I painted them white!

Below the bookshelves is the sweetest lamb play mat that we got at a shower and beautiful Pottery Barn baskets!

One basket is filled with all her lovies!

 The other basket has some nice blankets!

I am in love! 

 

Beautiful!

Maternity clothes? Eh, I don't prefer clothes but when I have to wear them I am the most comfortable in a dress!

Stretch marks? So far so good!
Symptoms: Growing belly and what I think seems to be Braxton Hicks contractions.

Sleep: Pretty good once I get comfortable!

Miss Anything: Nope. :)

Movement: When is she not moving?? She is a very active baby. I wonder if this what we have to look forward to once she is here!

Food cravings: Captain  Crunch Cereal anyone?
