beading bracelets to pass the time or "braceleting" as cameron would say // new shoes from cameron encourage me to walk // 38 week belly photo // pizza is on neighborhood watch this week // enjoying our little sunny space in silence // checking out my husband, he's cute // nursery is all ready to go

photos were taking with my iphone4 AKA bad quality

its calm and cold and snowy and slow around here. lots of snuggles and tea and blankets and baths. 

i could sleep forever it feels like. just sleep until all the days melt into one. baby kicks and moves constantly. if i don't feel her for fifteen minutes it's odd. i have been preparing mentally for birth and for motherhood, not that you can ever fully prepare for these things, and my excitement is getting hard to contain. every time i think about holding her in my arms for the first time i can't help but feel like i am bursting into little pieces of love. life is a beautiful thing. i never thought in a million years my life would be like this right now. it is perfect. our tiny little apartment, our lazy cat, our loud boiler heater, our overflowing laundry baskets and our always practically empty fridge. 

we have started to put together the nursery for baby girl. so far so good. cameron is slowly but surely choosing more pink. i never thought the day would come where we would have pink in our apartment. but, it is kind of precious too. last week i feel like cameron became a father. he finally had all of it hit him that we will soon have a baby here with us to love and care for. he is so excited now and kisses my belly everyday. who knew some newborn size onesies could do such a thing to a man. 

Narrowing down ideas for the nursery and getting so excited about them!

OH NO. I don't like pink but I am falling in love with these nursery ideas. Maybe I can settle for peach and gold and white.

Now that we know we're having a baby girl, I have been able to narrow down my ideas and inspirations for the nursery. I cannot wait any second longer to get crackin' on this beauties room!

What I love most about these nurseries is there isn't an overload of color. I love the coral and browns. I want the nursery to stay simple and for there not to be clutter. 

I am also in love with the quilt in the first nursery and can't wait to get started on a quilt too. Here are the links to both nurseries:

I'm finding out I am mostly drawn towards the idea of a simple, little colored nursery. That way it can be personalized with colored toys, art and books as they grow. I am getting excited to get started on our little nursery. The room has no closet and is more like a "half-room" but it's going to be perfect. My eye is on the lookout for a dresser that can be used to hold all the baby clothes, baby shoes and diaper changing stuff and hold a changing pad on top. Wish me luck!
