Zofran..

is my new best friend. I am amazed at how well this tiny (and very expensive) yellow pill has completely helped me, overnight. The 'ole saying, "I feel like a new woman" sums it all up for me. I am (somewhat)ready to start the nursery planning process, finally.

Although we won't know the gender of the baby for about 6 more weeks, I thought a lot last night about the nursery. We know that no matter the gender we want to do white/antique white, yellow mustard and possibly gray or brown for the colors. I want something very simple. Calm and serene.

I was looking at different nursery photos online and a question popped in my head: Should there always be a focal point in a room (and this goes for all bedrooms)? Does it always have to be the crib/bed??

I was wondering what your opinion on this was. Please leave a comment if you'd like!

Look who I found...

... ME! Good Morning fellow bloggers... are you still out there?! Well, yes of course YOU'RE still out there, but where have *I* been?! Well, pregnancy has sort of taken over, well, me. I work, sleep and eat (when possible). And that has been my life for weeks now. I am almost finished with this first trimester, and I pray this sickness will go with it!
I still read a lot of blogs daily, but that's as far as I get. Not even a comment. I know, shame on me. After quite a few requests though, I knew it was time to update this silly blog.
For Christmas, my sweet husband and I are going to redecorate our bedroom. Actually, we're decorating for the first time as we never really got around to it before now. We have a few things already (duvet, shams, DIY dresser) and that's about it. So, before this precious bundle arrives, we figured we needed to get our haven ready.

Enter: this bedroom {source:unknown}



There are so many elements that I love about this room. But the main one is how traditional meets modern. Something I have struggled with so much lately. This room is perfect for what my husband and I would want for our bedroom. As it happens, they have the same duvet as we do. Which is probably what grabbed my attention first. I lalso love how bright it is. Only months ago did I want a dungeon of a room. The darkest gray walls I could think of. Before I could take that plunge, I found out I was pregnant and all painting was put on hold. THANK GOODNESS. I am loving the wallpaper and the pops of teal/robins egg blue/whatever you call that color. We have a chair that needs to be recovered as well, and I would love to bring in color/pattern with that. For my husband's sake, I will have to bring in some darker elements to the room, probably in the side tables.

As a gift to ourselves, we're heading over to ATL on New Year's Eve (after our doctor's appointment) to do some serious shopping, celebrate the new year and do an early celebration of our (almost) one year of marriage. Which is in January. I am positively giddy!!

Well, I hope that brings y'all up to speed. I promise to be more regular about my postings. I have some pretty cute ideas for nurseries that I will also share. In the meantime, I do appreciate any thoughts and prayers sent my way regarding the health of myself and our baby!
