I have been somewhat obsessing about the nursery these past few weeks. I think it has given me a way to pass the time.
So I have lots of pictures to show today. They are kind of dark, because it wasn’t the best light and my camera flash isn’t working. Still, I think you get the idea.
Here is the mural that my mom and I worked on…

| From Un-Simple Procreation |
I really like the way it turned out. My mom’s flowers and butterfly are really cute. I drew the bumblebee and the sun and stenciled in the words. The quote is from a Beth Orton song if you are not familiar, ‘Live as you Dream’.
The crib and it’s canopy…

It took a few attempts to figure out how to get the canopy to stay up. I ended up putting a dry through anchor into the ceiling and attaching a metal loop thingy (my extensive hardware knowledge is evident) to it. Then I used picture wire to attach it to the loop. I know we will have to move it when she gets big enough to try and rip it down. I guess I will hang something else up there then.
Some cherries on the wall…

I know they don’t look the greatest, but it was a tribute to Mary Engelbreit. LOL
A little mural I did on another wall…
 |
| From Un-Simple Procreation |
I found this quote in a ME book and I thought it was appropriate. I really like the way it turned out. My picture is not what ME’s was about, but I like the little bird and the nest. 
The queen bed and wall decor…

DH got Zoe a parasol at a festival we went to, so I put it up on the wall. You can see some of the ME posters we got too.
A view from the corner with the glider and window…

| From Un-Simple Procreation |
I think the glider fits right in.
View from the window of the dresser and wall decor…
 |
| From Un-Simple Procreation |
Those are four ME prints that my mom painted the frames for, among other things.
Close up of dresser/changing table…

I will have to see how the changing pad fits on it, but I think the color is cute as a button.
Birdhouse shelf…
 |
| From Un-Simple Procreation |
I got all of these birdhouses at craft stores and my mom painted them. Aren’t they adorable?!
A marionette…

A ladybug and flower…
 |
| From Un-Simple Procreation |
It was hard to get a good picture because there isn’t a lot of light in that corner.
Name on wall….
 |
| From Un-Simple Procreation |
My mom painted these letters.
And last but not least, the ceiling…

Do you see the whale? The bunny rabbit?
DH is really liking the nursery. He says he wants to take over the room himself. He said I need to move on to our room (although I can’t seem to get him to understand that our room is decorated – but we are adults so it isn’t nearly as fun! He wants a Star Wars theme. lol)
Well that is all for now!
I have my 28 week appt this friday, then it is on to bi-monthly appointments.
In two weeks we will have the 3D/4D Ultrasound. I am anxious to see the little body that keeps kicking me and the little face….
