36 Weeks & Nursery is DONE!!!

Sigh... there has been A LOT going on lately! February was a BUSY month, and seems March is panning out to be the same! Can't complain though, it is making the time fly by. We have a lot on the schedule for March baby related. We started our Birthing Classes last night, had our car seat checked this morning and have a breast feeding class in two weeks! At this point since the doctor is saying baby is due now April 4th, I am just hoping to make it to all these classes before Jase makes his debut!

Our next appointment to see him is next week and then we're weekly after that! I feel as if I am so ready to be done, but I also feel like there are a million things I can do before he comes, but I guess you're never going feel 100% ready, right?! I think I may be more ready to just be able to move around without feeling exhausted and also bend over and tie my shoes without having to hold my breath LOL. As for Scott being ready, I think the Birthing Classes will help with that. It seems since last night he is VERY concerned with what I do and making sure I am not in harms way! I can actually say I like being the one pregnant since I have been dealing with this now for 8 months, whereas Scott will all the sudden just have a baby one day!!!

Ok so now for the Nursery part of this blog! The nursery was the one thing I've felt I have had completely control over so it was fun to put it all together! Since we are renting the house and can't paint the walls I had to make sure I designed around that. The walls are a yellow/cream-ish color so it wasn't too hard. I knew I needed to start with the bedding and go from there, so thats what I did. Problem about that was, I found out while searching for bedding that I HATE baby bedding! This made the process a little harder, but ETSY to the rescue! Giggle Six Baby is who I used to design the bedding for Jase! All I had to do was let, Krista (the owner) know my ideas/colors and she took it from there. Basically came up with designs and sent them to me to choose from! If you need baby bedding look her up!

Once we had the bedding picked I started to think of a "theme" for the nursery. Again, I didn't want something too baby-ish so I went to my friend Pinterest and started some research! I fell in LOVE with Alphabet Letters on the wall. Off to ETSY I went again! Now I love the ABC's but I still did not want them everywhere in the nursery (and I really loved the idea of using those later in a play room). Another Pinterest find, silhouette animals with stripped backgrounds, easy enough for me to do!! Off to Home Depot I went with Fabric swatches to pick out paint! Now has anyone bought the little sample paints for around $3.00? They are Awesome! I painted all the letters, silhouette pictures and a side table with these paints! Saved a tone of money. So the nursery really doesn't have a theme per-say, but it all goes together well I think! My hope is that most items will grow with Jase for a while!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!
