Planning and decorating Tilly's nursery was, by far, one of the most exciting steps in preparing for our baby girl.  I LOVED every step of the process--from picking the color scheme to adding the final decorative touches.  And I could not be happier with how it turned out!  Of course, there were a few  stressful moments during those few weeks... I mean c'mon, this is ME we're talking about--Mrs. OCD-it's not finished until I say so-perfectionista... But, my amazing husband has learned how to deal with this adorable side of of my personality, and we survived those few little hiccups without too much pain! :) Even before we knew that we were having a girl, we decided that we would paint the nursery walls a pale gray.  Then, depending on whether we were having a boy or a girl, we would add touches of color to accent.  Once we found out that were expecting a daughter, we easily decided to accent with pale pinks and white.  Of course, I scoured Pint...

Who knew that a tiny, 7 pound (at least that's what I'm hoping for) human being could need so much stuff?!?!  Looking back over that last 9 months, I think I could say that registering for and purchasing baby items for our Little Nugget has by far been the most stressful aspect of pregnancy.  We decided to register at a couple different places (Babies-R-Us and Target) for some variety, and I thought the process was going to be so exciting and fun.  But, when we arrived at the stores, I was completely overwhelmed!  They handed us a whole booklet and 2 page list of "essentials" that we would HAVE to have to properly care for our child.  I took one look at that list, and thought "Holy cow!  If a tiny baby needs ALL of these things to survive, how can anyone afford a child?!?!"  I didn't even know what some of the items were...

It's been a few too many weeks since my last post!  But it seems that when you are working a full time job, trying to spend as much time with your husband as you can while it's "just us two", and preparing for the sweet bundle of joy that will forever change your life, blog posts don't really stand out as a priority.  I do love writing these posts though.  And I know that a few years from now, when people ask me about my pregnancy, I'll be glad that I have these posts, even if only a few of them, to remember what my pregnancy was like. A lot has been going on since my last post about our "Little Man or Little Miss" gender reveal party... -I got to celebrate my first "unofficial" Mother's Day, and my sweet husband surprised me with a gorgeous baby book for our baby girl: -Tilton got to celebrate his first "unofficial" Father's Day, and I surprised him with this hilarious--or at least I think so--onsie: I bought ...
