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.

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

So What Wednesday

So what if I have been converted to a snow hater. I usually love the snow.  I loved to see the white stuff blanketing everything.  I loved having snow days.  I loved how quiet it would get because people were keeping warm in their homes.  I loved the sound of sleds and kids building snowmen. I don't love it anymore. Snow days?  I don't get snow days.  I don't work.  I don't get to have work or school canceled.  I don't get to take the day off from my kids because of the snow.  What I do get is to have a mini van that sucks in the snow so I don't get to go anywhere and get cooped up in the house with the kids. And I also get a husband who is gone.  He plows snow in the Winter.  Go figure.  He has been gone almost non-stop for the past two weeks because of this stupid snow and he will be gone again tonight because of the snow.  So not only do I get stuck inside with the kids while my husband is gone, I also h...
