Nursery - Work-In-Progress

A work in progress is DEFINITELY what the nursery is! The room is quite in shambles at the moment (ok - there's a twin be setting in the middle of the room, the closet is stuffed to the brim, the dresser and changing table are sitting in the hallway, our house is a wreck!). But I hope to get the last of the painting completed in the next day, hang pictures, get a new light, etc… and then finally put the furniture back in place. For now, it’s going to be a bit cramped with a twin bed and dresser + baby furniture (crib, changing table) in the room. But realistically, she will probably sleep in her bassinet until she is about 3-4 months and only fits in the crib.

Here’s a sneak peek. I took these last night, it was dark and it’s hard to tell the color that well. But the walls are a light grey. I hung the curtains my Grandma made up. I love how they turned out! Awesome. J
I cannot wait to get the pictures, fabric hoops, shelves, etc... hung up. I couldn't sleep last night. All I wanted to do was get up and start decorating. Absolutely ridic! But, this is the fun part! Where you finally pu the room together and see all of your ideas come into shape. I hope Petal loves how her room turns out. Because, it's been a lot of effort and thought put into it!

Almost 6 Months!

Here we are... almost six months! Tonight felt like a true Fall evening. We spent the night with my parents and Grace, Cari, Nick and their kiddies, my Aunt Donna and Uncle Dan and their kids and Grandson Brayden. Had to get in a picture of Cari and I. (Although, I looked terrible after working in the house allllllll weekend long!). Unfortunately, maternity jeans aren’t fitting me still and regular jeans I have to g-rid ‘em. These are regular jeans with a rubberband + maternity shirt (they are longer) – that’s a hint ladies. Maternity shirts are longer and hide your unzipped pants!

This weekend Jeremy and I took one massive 5 yd trailer load to the dump for garbage and one massive 5 yd trailer load to be donated. If any of his past roommates are looking for something they might have left behind – they need to check the local thrift store or dump. Let me tell you, each roommate left a CRAP LOAD of... crap! Sadly, two and a half years of marriage later and we are just getting to this. But, if feels absolutely fabulous! A HUGE Thank you to my parents and Grace who came out Friday afternoon for a short while and Saturday for a few hours to help us organize and clean as much as possible! The baby room is now solely occupied by baby stuff + one twin bed. Our garage is clean and organized. Our bonus room under the garage is getting there. Ken (my FIL) and Jeremy are building two closets down there for storage - yay! Can't wait to put the 3 large bins holding Jeremy's baseball card collection out of sight! I have NOTHING to store. ;) We’ll put all of our childhood, holiday décor and my lovely event planning collection in to those closets.
