Developing Bebe's Nursery

We finally started the awesome adventure of preparing Bebe's nursery; I've been waiting for this for quite some time!  So, here we go....

Here is the start of the process.... Going from blue to linen.

This room has previously been used as my husband's makeshift studio as well as our closet.  Thankfully, we do have actual closets that we're now utilizing for their intended purpose ;-) 

It was a process, but we finally chose "Natural Linen" by Glidden.  I strongly suggest you take advantage of the wonderful testers before committing next time you tackle a paint job!

I love the random surprises that Aaron pulls out!  He's truly the best!!

Clearly just the beginning; I'll have many more posts to come!  Next up.... carpet and new trim!  Once that is done, we'll add the new crib, changing table, and hopefully glider (contingent upon finding 'the one').  

26 Weeks | 3rd Trimester (final stretch!)

How far along? 26 weeks

Maternity clothes? A good mix of maternity and pre :-)

Stretch marks? Nope.

Sleep: Comes and goes.  I'll sleep when I'm dead!

Best moment this week: Walking in to find my husband painting the nursery!!  Christmas came a little early this year!  #BestHusband

Miss Anything?  I miss.... nothing, currently.

Movement:  Always.  I can't get enough!!

Food cravings:  None.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Not anymore.  I hear this may come back??

Gender: Boy-O!

Labor Signs:  Still having Braxton Hicks contractions but nothing out of the ordinary.

Symptoms: Headddddaches.  Boo.

Belly Button in or out?  Nearly a full-blown outie.

Looking forward to: Getting new carpet & the baby furniture for bebe's nursery!

25 Weeks | Size of a Rutabaga

How far along? 25 weeks

Maternity clothes? Yep!  I definitely like to pick and choose from oversized non-preggy clothes, but still throw in a good dose of maternity.  It is mostly rather .... umm .... aging, if you ask me!

Stretch marks? No, thankfully.

Sleep: Is a little rough.  I'm not requiring as much lately, however.

Best moment this week: Watching Daddy get his first few responses while talking with Bebe.  I'll forever cherish these precious, amazing little moments!

Miss Anything?  I miss getting a real massage.  We are in every other week and it's great, but I'm ready to have my stomach-lying privileges back.... in 15 weeks ;-)

Movement:  Non-stop!  He moves a lot in the middle of the night; I have a theory about this....

Food cravings:  Nothing.

Anything making you queasy or sick: Just the flu!  Unfortunately, Aaron and I have suffered a bit from this nastiness!

Gender: All boy!

Labor Signs:  I've had my fair share of Braxton Hicks recently.  I had quite a few during a workout the other day so took it easy the rest of the week.

Symptoms: There is no denying this belly.  Just sayEN!

Belly Button in or out?  In. Out.  I'm working on the full-blown outie.

Wedding rings on or off?  On. 

Happy or Moody most of the time: Just happy :-)

Looking forward to: Finishing the nursery!  Well, Christmas and Aaron's birthday, too!
