Baby Girl Room

I finally finished my design board for baby girl's nursery. Doing one for a girl was a lot harder than for a boy. I feel like there are a lot of cute bedding sets out there for boys but all the girls ones are covered with lace and butterflies. Anyway, I finally decided to just get the crib sheet and skirt custom made on etsy so then all I had to do was decide on some fabric. Here is what I came up with.

1. The pink ruffle curtains are from urban outfitters
2. The fabrics are from the Valorie Wells Nest collection
3. The rug is from urban outfitters, but I found a do it yourself tutorial online on how to make one from a plain Ikea rug so I might give that a try
4. The curtain tie back is also from urban outfitters
5. The polka dots are vinyl and I ordered them from mamabargains last week in white since we are painting the room grey. I'm only going to do an accent wall with the polka dots instead of the whole room.
6. The knobs that are going to go on the refurbished dresser are from anthropologie
7. The crib is from Ikea
8. The owl night light is from land of nod
9. The pom poms are a do it yourself project with fabric

There are also several other things that are going in the room that are going to be repurposed: a night stand and toy box from my sister's old apartment, a rocking chair that has been in the living room, a lamp that is in the spare bedroom that I'm going to paint and a quilt that my great great granmother made. Hopefully everything will all come toegether by March. Time is already moving too quickly!!

20 Weeks!

Well we are half way there! Baby girl is doing good and has started moving around a lot more! I felt her for the first time with my hand on the outside of my stomach on Saturday. She has done that twice now, always when Brian wasn't around of course, but I'm sure it will start happening more frequently soon. Here is my 20 week picture, taken inside because it was too cold to stand outside without my coat on! I'm definitely getting bigger!

Brian took a few close ups while I was getting ready and kept making comments like "geez" "wow" "huge". I've thought about smothering him with a pillow but it hasn't happened yet.

Here is an update on the survey questions:

How far along? 20 weeks

Total weight gain/loss: 5lbs so far

Maternity clothes? 90% of the time. I still have a non- maternity jacket that I can barely button that I wear and I can still wear my long sleeve t-shirts on the weekends. Other than that its all maternity clothes.

Sleep: Luckily I'm sleeping pretty good although I hate having to sleep on my side! I often roll onto my back while I'm sleeping and Brian has to poke me so I'll roll back over onto my side.

Best moment this week: Finally feeling baby girl move on a daily basis!

Movement: Several times a day I can feel her now.

Food cravings: None, really. I've been eating more fruit than usual but its not really a craving per say.

Gender: GIRL!

Wedding rings on or off? Off, but now that its cooler I could probably start wearing them again.

What I miss: Sleeping on my stomach, eggs over easy, beer

What I am looking forward to: Brian being able to feel baby girl kick!

Name? We've finally agreed on a name but we are gonna keep it a secret until she gets here.

Weekly Wisdom: Don't sit on the floor unless there is someone else home to help you get up!

Milestone: We finally found a dresser for baby girl, all we've got to do is paint it! We also got the closet in the baby room cleaned out (not an easy task).

Its a ......

Girl!!!!!!

Baby girl is healthy and weighs a whopping 9 ounces, right on target. It looks like there is going to be lots of ruffles and pink in my future!
