Nursery Part 2



The walls are grey thanks to my awesome mother and sister in law :)

My mother in law got us this great end table that matches his furniture to go next to the rocking chair once finished.
For Easter my mom gave him some picture frames.
My sister in law gave him stuffed animals that go with the theme, and my friend Megan got us some books to read while rocking him :)

We finished his mobile, but won't hang it until I settle on where I want the Crib :)
 Here is a link to how we made it! Making a Mobile! 

His closet is full of diapers and wipes from our gender reveal party :)

Most of the gifts we have been given for him so far are toys, so this is the start to his toy box :)
The basket is actually from Jenna's nursery. I took the pink liner out then added leftovers from his mobile, so it would match! 

This is not necessarily where they will stay, but here is his crib, changing table/ dresser, and the grey and yellow chevron laundry basket his Auntie Stevie bought him.

After months of airing out his crib mattress (I will post about that separately) it is now in his crib with his mattress cover and bedding.
The bedding is all grey and yellow with Safari animals on it :)

I will post more as we continue to finish our little man's room :)

Nursery ~ Part 1

Step 1 was to prep the Nursery, so before Mike left he moved Thing 1 and Thing 2's rooms to make the room next to ours the Nursery :) He and my amazing mother in law deep cleaned the room, the walls, the floor boards, closet, and the window! 

Then Mike surprised me by setting up the Crib! 

We picked out our crib in my 1st trimester, and it was our 1st big baby purchase! We mostly bought it right away, because Mikes boss had me make is fantasy football picks for him and when he won he gave me the money for the crib :) 

Thanks again Warren! 

 We knew we wanted a 4 way convertible in solid cherry wood, and after a weekend of shopping fell in love with this one from the comfort of our home computer 

(yay for being Amazon Prime members) 

 Next step was choosing the colors for the Nursery! It was actually when buying a Boppy Pillow that we decided we both really like yellow.  I told Mike he could pick whatever one he wanted as long as it was the minky fabric, and he picked yellow. From there we started looking for yellow color combs that we like, and both loved Grey and yellow most! I never would have thought of grey for a nursery, but now I adore it more than the yellow part! 

This was the 1st small nursery decor that we bought to base the rest of the room off of! 

Our Theme is You Are My Sunshine! 

Next is painting the nursery. This weekend my mom and I went Nursery decor shopping, and looked for colors we liked... we liked a lot! Today Sara and I tested them in the room for what looked best in the lighting with Yellow and Cherry wood, and narrowed it down to a top 2. My mother in law is going to paint for me seeing Mike is gone and we don't want the paint to harm the baby at all. She gets the final say between the last 2 colors, because she is better with things like this than I am :)

 In the mean time I am working on making a mobile, curtains, and my parents are having Jenna's rocking chair redone to match the nursery :) I will post pictures as things get finished! 

Great Weekend!

Mike started the 3 day weekend by spoiling me rotten! He took me out to a nice dinner...which alone is sweet, but he got there early and had it set up so that I could come straight from work and the minute I sat down they gave us our appetizer :) If you have ever been pregnant you know how sick you are asking to get if you wait to long to eat!! Then after dinner he gave me presents :) A Snoogle (a giant pregnancy pillow to make sleeping easier), and some colored maternity pants (because I was sad that I wasn't going to get to wear all my cute colored jeans while I was pregnant), and the sweetest letter about how excited he is to have a baby with me the only woman he has ever really loved :)  It was the perfect pick me up to my hormonal day! 

Saturday we went Shopping and bought our crib (I am so excited I will post pics when it is delivered), and spent the day together just enjoying life...and eating a lot :)
That night we got our kiddos back, and took them to The BSU Basketball Game! It was a blast! Mike and Jenna have gone a few times, but this was our 1st time as a family! The kids were so into it, and BSU won at the very last minute! 

 Sunday was the playoffs which in the Reece House means Church and Football are the only thing we do! It was fun we had my best friend and her kids over and vegged out all day! Sadly my Pats lost, but I like the Broncos so I am looking forward to watching them play the Sea Chickens in the Super Bowl!

The kids had a sleep over and Monday was a much needed relaxing, clean up the house, watch my kids play, cuddle with my man kind of day! 

Happy Civil Rights day to all my fellow Americans! I hope your weekend was blessed, and full of reminders why living in a country where all people are equal and free is so amazing!
