Starting on the nursery...

The furniture arrived a few days ago!!  Take a look at what we have done so far...

There's definitely still a lot to do!!  Stay tuned for updates :)

Josie...

...by Sweet Potato.  That's what we chose for nursery decor!  (Sorry, I didn't just give away our Little Girl's name)  Hehe.  Today we paid the last of our nursery furniture balance, scheduled delivery, and bought some nursery decor!  It's all starting to come together now :)  Can't wait to have the furniture delivered and set up, so that the real decorating can begin!! 

Nursery furniture:

Capretti's Umbria Collection

We bought a crib, long dresser and a book shelf for now.  The room we currently have for our Little One is not the largest, so we didn't want to buy too much furniture!  It looks fabulous in the Espresso color, pictured above.  Chris keeps saying "our daughter already has nicer stuff than us!!".  Looks like it's going to be that way for a while...  :)

Nurery Decor:

Josie by Sweet Potato

Our Little One's room is painted a taupe-y color, which is slightly lighter than the beige tones you can see in the bedding pictured above - this stuff looks great in there (of course I tore it out of the packaging as soon as we got home!)   So far, we have bought the 4 piece bedding set (blanket/crib sheet/bumper/dust ruffle), diaper stacker bag, and 2 valances (double windows).  I am not a big fan of the mobile, so we didn't buy that - it seemed kind of cheap and may not fit properly on the crib we bought.  I think I would like some of the pillows to use as accents on a rocking chair/glider but they are like $40 a piece!  I'm sure we could find a better deal than that somewhere else...plus, I don't want her nursery to be too over crowded with this design!    

Belly at 23 weeks, 3 days!

Took this picture before work...it's so funny to see that sometimes the belly looks/feels huge...and sometimes it hardly feels as though I am pregnant :)  I can definitely feel Baby Nugget rolling around and kicking constantly...so cool!!  The back pain has been a little better lately, although I wake up pretty stiff every morning and and quite exhausted by the end of the day.  It's all worth it!! :)
