thoughts & progress

Lately I have been feeling a lot like this....


and having naughty thoughts about this....


but trying to enjoy the 2 months I have left with just him....

(really enjoying his smoothie)
I was excited to receive my fabric in the mail!!!


here it is!


My first response from most after telling them I got my fabric was, "soo was it worth it?"
and all I can say is... YES!
I know it was more than what I wanted to spend but I also know nothing else would have compared (in my warped mind) and I just love it.
Plus, I have bought everything for her bedding now and as promised, I kept it on budget... well close enough.


We made progress on the nursery Saturday!! I spent the morning taking down the last of the decor and nails, Nick spent the whole day trying to get rid of this color,


so we can paint it a nice powdery pink but I was a little emotional to see the blue go.

Here is the first coat of primer...

looked pretty bad.

Here is the second coat of primer...


we are thinking this should be enough primer, but plan on doing 2 coats of the pink. Nick wasn't the happiest when we discovered that not only did we need 2 coats of primer, but probably 2 coats of pink paint.

Now I just need to decide what color.


I want something really soft & pink, nothing loud. I am pretty set on either option 'M' or option 'B'. Hopefully we finish painting this week!!
