Nursery and other ramblings.

It's hard to believe we've only been in our house going on 3 weeks. We officially moved in on President's Day (Feb 18, 2013) and have been going non-stop ever since. Its starting to come together and not be as overwhelming as it was. I made sure that the master bedroom was not cluttered and was as unpacked as it could be so that we would have somewhere in the house that we could rest. Master bathroom? Yea, that's another story. Haha. But everything is coming together and I couldn't be happier! We've even made our first house payment! We are official :)

I wasn't about to post a picture of our actual account, haha.


I'm starting to get worn out a lot quicker now than in the beginning of the pregnancy. Unfortunately, its making it harder to get anything accomplished at the house. After working 7-8 hours and going to class, all I want to do when I make it home is sit down and relax. Josh has been so amazing through it all. I feel horrible at times that I'm not contributing more than I am. He is working so hard to make sure that this house is our home. I am so blessed to have him in my life. We have come so far in our relationship and I can't help but fall more in love with him everyday.

Awe :)

But enough of the mushy stuff, haha. Yesterday was officially the 34 week mark leaving us with roughly 6 weeks till we meet Miss Emmalynn. I'm starting to get nervous and antsy. I've always been good with kids and Josh calls me a baby magnet because we can't go into a restaurant without a baby making faces and playing with me from across the room, but its different now that its MY baby. I don't want to screw this up. I want to make sure she has the best possibly life and has all her needs met. It's a scary thought that I am going to be in charge of not only my own life but another little person's life too. I pray that I will be the best mother I know how to be.  



Josh and I started working on the nursery last night. The plan was to go in, tape off,  and then measure some things but not to really start painting till tonight. Well....We got carried away. We ended up painting the first coat of pink as well. I mainly wanted to see if it was the color I had in my head and I am happy to say that once it started drying, it was! I took a few pictures but I don't want to give too much away just yet. I have a few ideas and hopefully it works out! I have looked on Pinterest and Google for weeks for ideas and inspiration and compiled several things that I liked. In the end, it was a cake that I got the most inspiration from, haha. I know right? A pregnant lady getting her inspiration for the nursery from a cake. 

Is this cake not adorable?!

Inspiration. All the different patterns blended, love this!

This is also inspiration. Love the pink and black together. 

The pink has been bought. 2 gallons of it to be exact :)

Playing in her room.

Its PINK!


Hopefully I can achieve what I have pictured in my head. Sometimes things are always better in your thoughts than in real life, haha. Oh and Josh's mom is being super awesome and making the bedding for us. I just can't justify spending $300+ on bedding. Its ridiculous the amount of money people pay for things like that. Emmalynn isn't even going to be in her crib in the beginning nor is she going to be in there that long after (or so I'm told). Crib bedding is either way expensive and/or looks really cheap. I wanted something special and something that would pop in the room but I'm not willing to fork over a lot of cash. When it came to the nursery, we didn't want something too "baby" either. I wanted something more that she could grow into and we could possibly just change furniture and decorations rather than have to paint the entire room over as she got older. Hopefully she likes pink just as much as her Mommy does :)

This is what I found and fell in LOVE with.
We are doing a hot pink instead of the light pink.


I'm sure you are all bored out of your minds now so I will leave you with a few things I ran across while playing on the Internet.

This one made me tear up a little. Silly hormones.
And yes, I have started to get stretch marks. Not too bad though.



A friend actually said this one to me the other day, made me laugh.
