Nursery-Stage I

We have begun planning for baby boy's arrival! We are well underway with designing and preparing the nursery. Over the past couple of days my mom has been here painting away. Here are some beginning stages photos. We are going with a Baseball theme. My mom has the fabric and will be making all of his bedding for us. Thank goodness Nana can sew! One of my favorite cousins (shout out Steph!) is taking on a huge project to paint some canvases with some baseball flair and eventually the baby's name (we are keeping it top secret) to hang on the wall that was once green in the pics below. Bedding and decor to come before too long I hope! I couldn't leave out the last picture of the furry babies in the nursery. They both LOVE to go in this room! Little do they know that eventually it won't be so quiet in there!









A Long Overdue Update

I really need to do a better job at updating this blog, but by the time I get home from work I am tired of being on a computer!

We are winding down the house projects thanks to my parents being here for over a week and talking some of the projects. Really the last big thing to do on the house is to strip the garage and paint the floor. We were going to do this while my parents were here, but thanks to good ol' spring rains and thunderstorms our plans were postponed. Thankfully this is just a bonus project and isn't something that has to be done right away.

On the baby front all is going pretty well. I hit the 20 week mark tomorrow!! It's hard to believe that we are half way there! A couple of weeks ago we had our sonogram and found out that we are having a BOY!! We are both beyond excited and are in full force of planning his baseball nursery. The fabric is in, and we will be taking that to Nana the end of the month so she can work her magic! We'll finalize paint colors then as well and hopefully will find a time to get her up here to paint the nursery. Once it's painted my cousin, Stephanie, will hopefully treat us to some of her painting skills and add some whimsical touch to the room. *Hint Hint Steph check your email!!!*

I also need to work on getting some after pictures of the house, but just as we get things organize d and cleaned company comes and then we are back at square one. :) We love finally being able to have both sets of parents come visit at the same time and no one has to sleep on the floor!!

Baby update

Unfortuantely there are no new pictures for today's post, but we were able to hear the heartbeat again. Hopefully we will be able to find out what we are having on May 7! I will be sure to post as soon as we know anything.
We are winding down on the home improvement projects and preparing for company Friday. Pictures will be up some time soon!

Tweaking

I can't believe it's been a whole month since my last post! In between posts I've been sick while we are trying to finish up all the little projects left before next weekend! I can't wait to take some after pictues to show all the changes we've already made. We have our first set of company coming for the weekend for the Jimmy Buffett concert in Frisco. I can't wait for the concert and all of the crazy people that come out in full force!
As far as a baby update, I don't have much to report. I haven't been to the doctor in 3 weeks and everything checked out ok. I didn't get any new pictures of the baby, but I did get to finally hear the heartbeat! Talk about an amazing experience. I go back this Monday, and I hope the baby is not too shy so maybe we can find out if we are having a boy or a girl. I am dying (and I think my mom is too) to get the nursery going! Hopefully I'll have some news and pics Monday!

Moving...

My husband and I are at the tail end of selling our home and moving into our dream house. We are so excited to be spreading out into a house that is over twice the size of our current home. The formal living/dining and master bedroom furniture has been ordered. In the next week or two we will be making the final paint selections. Of course none of these updates are going to be as fun as when we get to create our nursery!
