This has been such a fun week! Mike always takes this week off way in advance because our anniversary is on the 7th. This year,for obvious reasons it turns out that we arent really able to go on a trip. It worked out nicely for mike to have a week off to work on all of my nesting projects.By saying "my nesting projects" you might be lead to beleive that im making him do things...oh dont let him fool you..he is LOVING it! He spent the first 2 days painting the nursery, putting all the furniture together and giving me updates from upstairs about he and our cat sat in blue paint.
BLUE!!! we made a last minute change and decided not to paint the nursery green and switched to a tiffany/robin egg blue. its lovely and works perfect with the birdie theme! The bedding works perfect, the crib is perfect..everything just worked out so well! Ill have pics up soon when its done. I have some decorating projects im going to be working on in the last few weeks that im really excited about.

im wanting to make these adorable paper bird cages and i have the perfect spot for them!

pretty cute huh?!
im planning to have a craft party and have my creative friends help me! fun!!

our diaper bags came in the mail yesterday! We ended up getting our choice diaper bags for FREE!! we used our debit card reward points that we had been saving up for the last 6 months. Luckily both of them were on the website! pretty sweet deal! Both diaper bags were like 60 bucks retail! awwwesome deal...cuz i wouldnt have paid that money for it! i ended up going with this jjcole bag...i cant wait to use it!

Mike pretty much insisted on getting his own diaper bag, which makes total sense since he will be mr mom while im at work a couple days out of the week..so he got the diaper dude bag he had been wanting..pretty sweet!!!


These last few weeks of my bedrest prison are becoming a little more bearable. I feel a little better about doing small things. I actually did walk up the stairs to see the nursery and help organize stuff..i wasnt going to miss out on everything! :)
My body usually lets me know when i need to sit or lay down and relax and i listen to it. I never overdo it really...but really any movement, like walking up a couple steps makes me feel like im pushing myself. I cant wait to have some of my energy back!

Ive heard about soon to be parents who just like to sit in the nursery and go in and organize the same stuff over and over. I have a feeling that will be us. Last night we sat in there for a while just talking about everything. we played around with the monitors and sniffed baby shampoo. Its getting pretty real..and pretty freaking close.
we are...happy!
