IT'S DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you ever get into one of the those moods where you just have to finish a project no matter what? Well that's what happened to me last night. I started working on the nursery again and couldn't stop. I stayed up very late but the nursery is done!

We have a few minor things to do yet but all in all, it looks great and we are now ready for Little Miss to get here!

The crib is missing the crib bumper, which is on its way, and the crib skirt, which I'm not too worried about. I want a Lambs & Ivy bedding set but it's back ordered right now I have to wait!


The pink and brown rug I got to match the rest of the room:


The changing table, full of all of her blankets and bibs and diaper supplies:


The dresser and my favorite part of the room, the lamp:


Her closet (we still have to put the door back on):


And I think this is going to be her going home outfit. Thanks Arlena!


The furniture was a giant pain in the butt to put together and it's not quite what we expected. While I still love the design and color, it doesn't seem as sturdy and it should be. Only time will tell if it holds up. The crib wasn't too hard to put together and that seems very sturdy. The design is pretty simple and goes well with the other pieces of furniture.

The corner next to the dresser is empty because that is where the glider is going to go once we get it. I think the only other thing we need is curtains and I think we are going to make them. We need to hang her personalized growth chart, which I couldn't show because it has her name on it. We also have the wooden name letters that we are going to place on the wall above her crib. We may hang a few more random items on the walls at some point but I'm not too worried about that.

I'm pretty happy with the way the room turned out. It's a perfect polka dotted palace for our Little Miss!

In other news, my husband and his brother decided to gut our kitchen this week. I was scared at first but they already have the new kitchen counters in so maybe it won't be too bad. I hope they can get the whole thing done before Little Miss comes. I will post pictures when they are all finished.

Blog Commenting Challenge!

Linking up with Jenna's Journey  for the 3rd Annual Blog Commenting Challenge! Hi! I'm Vanessa! I live with my husband Bryan and my amazing 6 month old Ashlyn in Pennsylvania. I was born and raised here and love it very much! We have 2 pugs, Katie and Utley, one black lab, Camo and one cat, Joey. Our second cat, Kitty, is sadly recently deceased (on Father's Day). I work full time as a Marketing Analyst for a supply chain consulting firm. I don't even know what that means really! I have been here for 3 years and am thinking about a career change. SAHM is looking better and better. My husband owns his own landscaping business which has been both wonderful and horrible at the same time! My husband and I know each other for about 17 years now and we have been together for 12. We got married in September of 2010, just 2 weeks shy of our 10th anniversary! We got pregnant after only 2 months of trying and last December we were greeted by Ashlyn Marie Miller,...

17 Tips - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin

17 Tips for a Healthy Pregnancy - #1 Take a Prenatal Vitamin Even when you're still trying to conceive, it's smart to start taking prenatal vitamins. Your baby's neural cord, which becomes the brain and spinal cord, develops within the first month of pregnancy, so it's important you get essential nutrients, like folic acid, calcium, and iron, from the very start. Prenatal vitamins are available over the counter at most drug stores, or you can get them by prescription from your doctor. If taking them makes you feel queasy, try taking them at night or with a light snack. Chewing gum or sucking on hard candy afterward can help, too. It took me a little while to get into the habit of taking my prenatal vitamin. I wasn't used to taking anything daily since I had been off the pill for a few months. I finally got myself in the habit of taking it every morning. I just take an over the counter vitamin. It has the same nutrients as a doctor prescribed vitamin but is less hass...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
