Baby On Board

17 May

Now that the baby cat is out of the bag, I have been very busy on my friend Pinterest checking out awesome baby things. We haven’t gotten too far with anything yet, but what I do know is that nursery decorating FEELS harder than normal decorating.  I want the nursery to be cute (since I’m guessing I’ll be in there a LOT) but also very organized and functional.  And as a soon to be first time mom, I have LITERALLY no clue what I am doing.  So that said, here’s some thoughts that I’m lovin’ on right now.

I love clean and simple and most importantly, gender neutral.  We’re planning to find out what we’re having, but we’re not planning to share with anyone.  I’m planning a pretty neutral nursery that we can incorporate some gender specific accents into later if we want.

First up — I love basically everything about this nursery.

I am most in love with the striped wall, I think it’s fun and playful while not screaming “a baby sleeps here”.  I think it could easily transition into toddler years or later without having to redecorate.  I also love the pops of orange.

 I love the blues and greens in this room (and of course, another striped wall).  Olivey green and turquoise blue is one of my favorite color combinations.

Love the gray/yellow color scheme of this room and the chevron wall (vs stripes).

Again, more blues/greens/grays.  Looks like without really thinking I’ve found my potential color scheme.  SCORE!

I’m excited to get started, but definitely want to get further planning before we dig in.  Decorated a nursery before?  Any tips or tricks to share?  Must have items?  Organizational tips?  I’m all ears!

My unexplained absence

14 May

Sorry to leave you all high and dry, I know how much it stinks to read a blog and then all of a sudden they disappear…where have I been?  Well…mostly asleep.  Why?

Yep, that’s right…Baby P will be due November 3rd!  I’m right around 15 weeks now and finally getting some energy back, so rather than getting off work, coming home, eating dinner, and going to sleep, I’ll be able to start doing some projects and blogging.  Heck, we have a nursery to add to our list now!

We were definitely surprised, but are excited about what this new adventure is going to bring!  Thanks for hanging with me through the nausea, perpetual sleeping, headaches, and the other weird things that have been going on over here :-)

Anyone else have any exciting news to share this Monday morning??
