If I ever have a sweet baby girl I would love to do something like this. All furniture and most items are thrift store finds. I just love the pretty, whimsical look to this room. Girly but not over the top, and so much character. Pictures from www.ohdeedoh.com
So we finally got the bed completely set up, mattress and all. That is one more things we can check off our to do list. I love it and it all goes perfectly with the room. There are just a couple more things to do in the room and then it is all finished.
I’m down to 5 weeks and 4 days till my due date today. I’m pretty excited and nervous. Lately I haven’t been doing that great physically, sciatic nerve has become a literal pain in my butt. Lil Ariza is getting much bigger and it’s starting to take a toll on my body. But I’m hangin’ in there and getting as much rest as I can. It will all be worth it once I see him.
I know I know I haven’t blogged in forever, but I have a good excuse…I’m pregnant.
Everything has been going well. I just had another doctor’s appointment and I’m glad to say that baby and me are completely healthy. Other than getting bigger I’m doing excellent. Baby is growing like a weed, it is crazy to see my entire stomach move around. I’m doing better at keeping my weight in check. Not eating 3 boxes of poptarts in a weekend has helped with that.
I’m currently 33 weeks. Only 7 more weeks to go. Scary since we have soooo much to do but I’m very anxious to see and hold our baby. We’ve been furiously painting the nursery and we are finally finished. It turned out AWESOME!
Lizzy, Jordan, Melissa, Jenn and Linda threw me probably what was the best baby shower ever. It was a little monster theme and it was incredible. I can’t thank them enough for it. And thank you to all my friends for being there and “showering” me with all the wonderful gifts.
We still have tons to do…and buy!!! We’ll keep you updated as much as possible.
We started the painting process today. It’s gone pretty smoothly so far. We have some contrast issues but tweaking the color should fix it. We still have a lot of painting ahead but at least it’s a fairly fun. Ricky came over and helped us out a little. Kaci was even able to paint a lot since the fumes were pretty minimal. It’s cool watching it all come together. Check out the process. With a paintbrush in one hand and one eye on the Olympics is how we spent the afternoon. I would consider it well spent.
Slowly but surely our nursery is coming together. Kaci has been shopping for the right room accessories and putting things in their places and our friend Ricky whipped up some awesome illustrations for the walls.
This Sunday was spent hanging curtains and drawing some cuddly monsters on the walls. With the help of a projector from our good friend Jeremy we drew some fun monster scenes. Since the projector wasn’t ideal for some spots we even did a few freehand. It’s coming together now. Next step… we’ve got to paint these little critters.
So we haven’t posted in a while but we promise it wasn’t our fault. About a week and a half ago lightning struck our house. It blew up a few things including our sprinklers system and and fried our cable for a bit. Then we got back online only to be taken off a couple days later. Hopefully we can get back on track this week.
Here is a little update of what’s going been going on. We gave the baby room a fresh coat of paint. Ricky created some amazingly cute monsters that are ready to be painted. Jeremy loaned us a projector to help us draw on the walls and Kaci picked up a few things from Ikea for the nursery.
I have been working through my list of things that need to be done around the house. Which got quite a bit longer when the lighting struck. I kicked it off by installing a new garage door opener this weekend.
Kaci has another doctors visit today. She get’s to drink some kind of gross liquid that helps determine if she has gestational diabetes. It’s just a routine test. I don’t know how this stuff works. Sounds like voodoo to me.
To make up for our lack of posts watch this video celebration of our little monster.
Last night our friend Ricardo came by for a little brainstorm session. He was kind enough to volunteer to help us paint some sweet monsters on the walls. I don’t want to divulge too many of our secrets but let’s just say there will be monsters a plenty. Hopefully our little monster will dig it.
