I blame the progesterone

Yesterday I had finally had enough with trying to find matching decor with the bumper that I fell in love with and even painted the nursery to match so I packed it all up and RETURNED it! Crazy I know but it was really stressing me out and now I have picked a new set that I don't love as much but it has every piece that I need and I wont stress...that is tell I get it delivered and realize that I have to repaint the nursery!

Anyways here is the new set...


and here it is with all the decor...


I'm not a fan of animal and sport themes being the only option for boys BUT we all know how much Gavin LOVES "long necks" and he is excited for this set. I'll post pics once it is delivered and set up

oh I also FINALLY decided on a crib (won't get into how sad I am that I have to get a new one again) here it is...


once we get back from WA for our spring break trip and my baby shower (yay!) I will be ordering all the "big" items (aka pricey one, lol)

Rocking Nursery Chair

I'm in love...



Perfection for the nursery, chocolate brown...even sounds yummy!

another option

Last night I couldn't sleep because I was trying to picture the nursery complete and I couldn't see it with the ABC's and 123's and their size working out, so I searched some more and this is what I'm thinking about now...the ABC's (which is a 20x20) will still go over the dresser/changing table combo, and than these cute art work will go over the daybed (the 2 outside ones are 6x6 and the yellow stacking one will be 8x10)




and than over his crib will be 8" letters to spell out his name (whatever that might be, I'm not liking Brady at the moment anymore...I warned y'all that I'm fickle!)

which way to go...?

Okay I came across some BOY friendly wall art and now I'm not sure if I should go all nursery with the ABC's and 123's or if I should go boy'ish' with the half pipe and BMX. Here are the two sets to compare

ABC's & 123's



Half pipe & BMX

NURSERY

We finished painting the nursery today and I'm LOVING how it is turning out! Somehow I missed placed my camera so these are photos taken from my phone...atleast it gives you an idea






since I didn't buy a theme bedding set I have been searching the Internet high and low trying to find art work to hang in the nursery and these are the ones that I have fallen in love with and plan to order asap

this is a 20x20 canvas that will hang over the dresser/changing table combo we have


I really like this but not sure about the blue background so it's in the maybe list



this is the piece that started it all...


and this will pair with the giraffe but I haven't decided what color yet



they also offer birth prints which I can't wait to order!

Loves a great deal

Being military and away from family for almost every birthday and holiday we tend to get a lot of gift cards (which we LOVE!) I finally decided to call and find out the balances of the stack of leftovers I have laying around. I ended up with a good amount and figured why not save money and use them to buy my maternity clothes that I'm in desperate need of!

I being the genius I am thought I should check out the clearance first just to see if they have anything good...and they DID! I ended up getting a handful of tops and than at checkout I thought I should see if there are any coupon codes and I found one for 20% off that expired today, than on top of that the store was offering 1/2 off express shipping and if ordered by 2pm CST I would have my order in 2 days!

So I'll have my clothes by Wednesday and I saved...you ready for this...over $80! WHAT A DEAL, great way to start the day!
