Nursery Plans

The one thing I had known for sure when I got pregnant was that I wanted to do the nursery in mint and gold. It's pretty, it's gender neutral and it doesn't need to be overdone to be great!

I had pinned a ton of ideas over the last year (way before we decided to get pregnant!) that I really loved and some of them will definitely end up in the nursery!

I am CRAZY about this wood wall hanging! Can't you just picture it with a soft mint background ;)

I am not a huge fan of the chevron trend, it's cute, but I am over it! But I still love the way it looks in these colors.

You can never be wrong about a cute dresser with a fun pop of color AND a wall of cascading gold polka dots! This must happen!

20 Weeks

I am officially halfway through this pregnancy! It's so crazy to say that, I feel like I JUST found out! It's already gone by so fast. 

I am not really tired, but I have no energy if that makes sense. Making cookies seems impossible just about every day, but I have so many ideas that want to be created! The mr got me a sewing machine for Christmas so I plan to start on my lengthy list of crafts instead! 

I bought this picture frame over a year ago and painted it in a lovely mint green shade. It's been sitting in our spare room for ever! After finding Charlene's blog Becoming the Barrs, I decided I was going to use the frame to document baby's growth month to month. 

We're currently super excited to watch the NFC championship game today! GO HAWKS! 

I can't even remember how many of these cookies I made this week! Seattle is a great place to live and a great place to watch football!

So here is how I am doing this week, 

• How far along: 20 weeks on Sunday, already halfway done baking! 
• Baby is the size of…: a mango, a banana or an eggplant depending on which one of my pregnancy apps you believe
• Weight gain: 10 pounds
• Baby Bump: Oh yes! Been showing for several weeks now and my belly button is getting close to being an outie!! 
• Stretch Marks: None yet!
• Exercise: I try to get at least 35 minutes on the elliptical and low intensity stretches and weights several times a week.
• Cravings: Fresh fruit, loft house sugar cookies, girl scout cookies, waffles, starburst, dates, anything grapefruit...
• Mood: Happy and tired, but mostly HAPPY :D
• Sleep: A little more would be great, I am sleeping pretty well at night, but having CRAZY dreams and waking up sore. 
• Wedding Ring: On
• Baby Name?: We've got baby girl covered, but not for a boy...
• Gender Prediction: Girl
• Movement: I think I am feeling movement, several times a day and at night!
• Maternity Clothes: I found some great maternity clothes at Pink Blush and luckily scored some awesome deals on cyber Monday. 
• What I am looking forward too: Finding out who baby will be 
• What I miss: Sleeping through the night (on my back!)
• Favorite thing this week: A totally sweet mint and gold surprise from my awesome friend Natasha! It's so perfectly perfect and unexpected and I just can't wait for baby N to get here and enjoy it!
