Now the trim is complete and things look a bit more finished. The color is from Restoration Hardware and called Seagreen...but in person it doesn't look like it has any blue undertone at all - it looks greener than in the photos and I'm really happy with it so far. The bumper for the crib came in as well as the rug I ordered. I'll have to take some more photos soon. Hopefully this weekend my husband can put together the crib, we can add the rug as well, and I think we'll put the bassinet in there until we have the need for it in our room when little Spot comes home. I just got an email saying the dresser I ordered is on backorder for 2-4 more weeks. As much as I would like to have it soon - I don't really have any need for stuff quite yet :-)
My sister along with the help of my mom is planning a really small baby shower for us the weekend after labor day - September 7th. It sounds so far away, but it's really only less than 6 weeks away. I'll be about 27 weeks then - and so that is kind of like a little goal for me. It will be small with only a few close family and friends - like 20 people or so. My mother in law is having something for us in Ohio after the baby is born and we are all settled at home - whenever that will be. His family all lives out of state - and since I can't travel currently she thought that would be the best option. I'm really hoping things continue to progress and I'm able to make the shower planned for September because I get so excited over anything that seems like it is "normal" pregnancy stuff since so much stuff have felt far from that. With keeping it small - it would be easy to adjust things if for some reason I wasn't able to make it.
Nothing too much new and exciting other than the work we're having done on the house. But no news is great news to me these days - and I will gladly take that anyday! So sorry for the boring update - but this will have to do :-) I have noticed that the few times the song Low by Flo Rida has come on Spot really starts to booty shake a bit and kick up a storm. Even though the song has been out for awhile - she must be letting me know she really likes it, LOL! Hope everyone is having a great week and are looking forward to the weekend!

The paint color is beautiful. I can't wait to see updates with the furniture etc.
Glad there isn't anything "exciting" to talk about. :)
I love that colour. Just gorgeous!
First off, I just have to tell you that you have the best attitude. I know when I was bedridden in my second trimester, I spent a lot of time pissed off that I wasn't having a "normal pregnancy." I respect you so much for just rolling with the punches (though if you ever have a bad day, I'm just a click away.)
I love the color, even though you say it isn't an exact match. Can't wait to see more progress.
And prayers and good thoughts are being sent up for you that you blow right past that September date.
xo
I love that color! Looking forward to seeing pictures of the complete nursery :).
I LOVE that color and really anything that is Restoration Hardware! I can't wait to see your finished nursery. You look adorable by the way! So tiny!
Thanks for your sweet comments. I can't believe how far we've both come! I can now feel baby's head for sure on my right side. So cool! I am getting more lopsided by the day when lying down. How about you?
I was thinking we should talk on the phone again sometime soon and catch up. Let me know if you're up for it!
i love spots taste in music...that's my ringtone on my phone :)
the color on the walls looks good - you can see that is has more green than blue. i like it. i cant wait to see the whole room completed (I'm sure you can't either)
Boring IS good! :) I adore the paint color your choose. I can't wait to see the room once you've pulled everything together. I'm sure it will be adorable. Spot-ette is one lucky little girl.
Low is a great song, sounds like my baby Spot has some good taste already!
Love the progress, love the boringness, glad it's all good.
(And I second Tracy: you have an amazing attitude, one we could all learn from)
Love the room -- nice color choice. I went with green walls too (though mine are a brighter green). Can't wait to see the furniture and rug, etc.... Can wait to see spot though -- so hold tight little rap lover baby. She knows a good song when she feels it -- I love that song by Flo Rida -- it's fun
I love the paint color. It sounds like you guys are making great progress indeed :)
Glad to hear from you!! And with such a great non "exciting" report.
I love the paint color!! I cannot wait to see the whole thing pulled together. Looks fabulous.
Yeah for 21 weeks!! I like the whole goal thing. That's awesome.
Happy friday!! Hope you have a great weekend.
The room looks great so far. I can't wait to see it keep progressing into the nursery.
The nursery is looking great! And I'm glad this is a "boring" update, b/c this is how we want them to be! :)
The room looks great. I bet the nursery is going to look fantastic when it's all set up. I will also agree with Tracy. You have such a great attitude. Hang in there, the shower will be here soon.
The room looks great! I'm sure a small shower will be nice and not too overwhelming for you. Having something after Spot is born will be nice too because you'll know what you still need for her.
Sara, I think your cutie pants Spot is a reincarnated sista! :) I love to hear the stories about her shakin' her groove thang!
The colour of the room looks great!!!!!! Can't wait for your baby shower to come and hear all about it!
Spot is gonna be some bootylicious princess!!!! :)
The room looks great! I wish we had hired someone, we painted 3 weeks ago and now still haven't done the trim and touch-up work.
And yeah for boring...a boring pregnant woman is a good thing!
Hey sara...where are you, sweetie? I wanted to come over and visit today, but haven't heard back yet. call me!
oh, and you little belly is cute. you skinny little thing, you...
it all looks wonderful! i cant' wait to see what it looks like with the furniture and decor.
it's always a good post when the most exciting thing to post about is painting and decorating. :-)
I really like the paint color and can't wait to see more of the room once the furniture is in!
By the way, this isn't a boring update at all. I sit here and read and just thank God for how far He has brought you! Isn't He such a good God? Makes me smile that you're coming up on the time for baby showers. I need your address at some point...I want to mail you something.
*LOTS OF LOVE*
A boring update is great!!
I love the paint color you picked and can't wait to see the finished product. Have fun decorating!!
The room color is soooooo pretty. I look forward to seeing it all put together!!
Hang in there and keep resting!
Color looks beautiful. Hope you are snuggled up, back on your own couch by now and that the majority of the housework is done. And, of course, feeling good.
