Nursery!

The nursery is almost finished!  I have a mirror that I am tiling, and so will hang that above the dresser once the glue dries.  But check it out!

 

I got some prints and framed them

 

 

I put the prints above the crib (also, I made that blanket)

 

Mobile above the glider (I made that too)

 

 

Changing table/dresser.  I put his onesies and sleepers in the dresser drawers, as well as blankets and diapers/bibs.  I tiled the mirror with tiles from Home Depot and liquid nails. 

 

 

Closet!  I hung up bigger size clothes and "outfits".

Nursery Crafts - blanket and mobile

I like to be crafty, so here is what I've made!  A blanket for our little guy, and a mobile-decoration to hang above our glider/ottoman (not the crib!).

 

I was looking for a blanket for a long time, and never found one I liked.  So, we went to JoAnns (where some lady thought Adam and I were 18 and pregnant and gave us lots of dirty looks), and got some fleece.  Easy peasy knotted blanket for our Little Bear. 

 

Here is the blanket with our little smurflet (love!) 

 

 

One side was the Bear

 

The other side is navy blue

 

 

I also crafted a mobile for above our glider/ottoman for rocking time.  I thought it would be a nice thing to look at during rocking or feedings.  I need to add the white trim around the wooden rings still, but it's almost finished. 

 

 



Baby Shower/Gender Reveal

We had the first of our baby shower's back home with friends and family.  It was super cute, with the Blue or Pink theme that Maria did.  Everything was super crafty, and she did a great job.  We had a juice/mimosa bar and lots of yummy brunch foods.  Yay Maria!!!

 

Pink or Blue drinks!

The delicious reveal cake

It's a boy!



Christmas back in Virginia and 29 weeks

Christmas!  We went to my family's house in Virginia, where I got to spend lots of time with friends and family. 

 

Hanging out in DC!

Bestie and Me 

 

 

Made a gingerbread house one day

 

 

Celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary by going to Melting Pot

 

 

And....the 29 week bump with the Christmas Tree!

 

 

IT'S BEEN TOO LONG!

Well, needless to say, it's been quite a while since I've posted.  I have the new 5s phone, and it was much easier to make posts when I had the 4 - more chargers available!  Now I only have 1 cord! 

 

Okay, to start, we missed Christmas.  Here are some goodies I made one day and sent off to friends for some tasty treats.  Rice Krispies, Oreo truffles, Sausage balls, and peanut butter yumminess.  I also had some almond roca that I sent, but didn't take a picture of.
