Nursery - As of 122113

I am so excited with how Brooklyn's nursery is coming together! I just need a rocking chair, and I have my eye on a little diddy just need to get it ordered. I feel like all I talk about lately is baby girl but I just can't help it!! I got this adorable pillow and headband for her yesterday. Along with the most adorable swaddle blanket. The pillow is from TJ Maxx and the headband and blanket in the crib are from The Quilted Bear.

Yug & Yaye!

For the past few days I have been feeling very "yugh" only because I have had an extremely sore throat. Generally I'd self medicate by downing some Nyquil and sucking on cough drops all day. Being pregnant makes me nervous to take anything, I have a doctor appointment next week so I'll ask what is okay to help with the throbbing but it sure does bite the big one. I guess it just wouldn't be the holidays without a fever, cough and sore throat.

On a lighter and brighter note. No one ever really told me how amazing it is to feel your sweet heart move! I feel Brooklyn all the time and I just can't help but smile from ear to ear. She does the wave sometimes. Where she bulges my tummy on the right side for a few seconds then moves over the the left. I LOVE it! There is no other feeling like it. People have told me "it feels like an alien" but I disagree, I think it is the most natural feeling I have felt. Like this is something I should be feeling and is just part of life and growing a life. I am so very grateful for her and every day just hope for her to stay healthy and safe for a few more months.

I have been painting a little more than I ever have in my life. Just little projects for the nursery. I got this little cat at a thrift store in West Jordan for ONE whole dollar and covered it in some gold paint. I'm excited to put it at the end of some books.

 

I did actually do another touch up since the second picture around that eye and covered it with a gloss top coat. 

I also dipped a few mason jars in glitter! This is a messy project but, UH totally worth it! I used masking tape to make the hard line and then just mod podged and poured glitter on it. Removed the tape. And covered with a sealant spray :)

We also got Brooklyn's crib! The nursery is really starting to look like a baby room. I love spending time in there <3 br="">
