20 weeks and counting...

Today marks the official halfway point of this pregnancy!  YIKES!! It has gone by so fast, but I'm so ready to hold my baby!  A little boy will be different!  I am already looking around the nursery thinking, "Oh my...where's all the pink?!"  There will be no hair bows or tutus or pretty dresses.  I'm looking down the road filled with barber shop visits, sports shoes, and t-shirts.  I know that they make plenty of great boy things and I am truly excited to shop 'boy'. Everything is just going to be different.
After we found out what we were having about 2 weeks ago, I started on the nursery right away. First trip after the doctor's office was to Home Depot to buy paint!  We picked up a variety - Green Energy (PPU10-3), Mosaic Blue (PPU15-4), and Bleached Linen (PPU5-9).  All of the colors are Behr paint - I swear by it! I took pictures with my phone - not the best and the colors look much brighter in the picture than they really are! I swear!!

This is the east and south walls of the nursery.  The window is on the south wall.  I primed everything including the trim.  It was that golden color that was so well loved in the nineties.  BLECK! The chair I got through Scholastic.com with my earned points so it cost nothing out of pocket!! The pillow I got for $7 at Ross. Great prices are great things there!

The stripes are on the west wall and were a must! They really add something and are very simple to do with a laser level, a ruler and painter's tape!  I did get a little overly excited and assembled the crib and brought the swing and bouncer up from storage.  Cambry has been practicing with her baby dolls - so precious! She is going to be an awesome big sister:)

The closet is one of my favorite things right now.  I know it is far from complete, but I love the blue framed by white and green.  The white dresser and changing station really pop against it!  I primed and painted the dresser the same color as the trim.  I am in search of handles for it, just haven't made a decision yet.  Look for those in a later post;)
 
The only thing missing from this nursery is the linens and the baby! We have even started a diaper collection! We are definitely excited for our little bundle to come join us.  Now if only we could decide on a name....
