Have I mentioned we got the internet back? After a roughly four-month break, Ryan realized he needed it for a class he'll be teaching soon. So we have officially returned to 2010. Still no cable though. I have surprised even myself by realizing I'm fine without it. And, believe me, I was a t.v. addict (okay, I still watch t.v. all day, but losing the signal every 30 seconds is teaching me wonderful things about patience).
I dreamed for months, while typing with one finger on my phone, of sitting at our desktop, finally able to think coherently while writing a blog post. But as soon as I could attempt that last week, I quickly learned I'm unable to sit at the computer for more than three minutes before back and abdominal pain ensue (I'm actually starting to wonder if I'll ever be able to sit up again. I know things will [should] return back to normal after giving birth, but there's part of me that really wonders!).
So now that I'm back online (at least for the next few minutes), and can post pictures much easier, I thought I'd finally share some photos I took weeks ago of the new nursery...
I could never find a bedding set that I liked, so I decided to find a quilt and then design the room around it. I bought the quilt on Et.sy, and then chose the zoo animal fabric as the room's theme. I have a few more ideas of elements I want to add (some shelves, photos), but I probably won't be doing anything new until after Baby Boy is here. He'll be in a bassinet in our room for at least a couple months anyways. Actually this will be my parents' room well before he moves in!
Oh, and I'm happy to report I have a sense of peace about two name options. And don't get me wrong, I know that choosing a name isn't actually stressful; it's something I've looked forward to my entire life (choosing Clara's name was quite different in that we had about 48 hours to do so). It's a good kind of stressful. And now that I've settled on two possibilities, it's even better.

It's gorgeous! Your second nursery is more put together than my first...lol! We actually hope to move next year - our house suddenly got REALLY small with one infant and one on the way. So, baby girl may not get a nursery until then....poor deprived child:).
ReplyDeleteThe nursery is fantastic! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe nursery is darling! Glad you have internet and are feeling better with the names narrowed down. :)
ReplyDeleteI keep telling myself the same thing, i will soon be able to walk and sleep without pain and discomfort, etc, but part of me doesn't believe it. Even though it was absolutely the case with C.
I love your color choices and the elements you pulled from the quilt! Beautious! :) And I'm so glad you feel better about the names!!! Yay!
ReplyDeletesuper cute.
ReplyDeletecongrats on the internet entering your life again, and the names you've picked....looking forward to knowing what the final choice is.
So Clara is in her own room and baby boy in another?
ReplyDeletethe room is adorable!
Barbie - Yes, we have three bedrooms so they each have their own (they'll be on such different sleeping patterns for a while that sharing wasn't an option). But as you can see, we kept our guest bed in Baby Boy's room for guests and possibly for me for bf'ing once he's sleeping in there.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! And I hope you find some relief from your back pain before that baby comes out! Although that's probably what's needed at this point, right? Gosh, sounds horrible though.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, you are soooo talented. I still can't get over Clara's room and now this little boy is going to have a room that is just as amazing!! Blessed children are they!
ReplyDeleteI love your wall color. That's exactly what I would do for a boy. I love all your decorations. It's just beautiful, K!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. You have a beautiful home.
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to full internet access! The nursery is absolutely beautiful, what a lucky little boy!
ReplyDeleteK, his room looks amazing!! Way to go... I'm so impressed with your productivity here despite feeling out of whack! Blessings!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing to think that you went from zero to two nurseries in less than a year!!
ReplyDeleteLove it!!
At first I thought you had cut and pasted something off a fancy internet site but then realized no, it's actually your new room!!!
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, it is AWESOME!!! LOVE everything about it. Is that a new paint color also?? Love it!! You guys have been working hard up there!!!
I love the nursery! Animal themes are so adorable especially for boys. I'm glad you are feeling better with the names getting narrowed down.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the nursery!!!!!! I love it! I would copy everything!
ReplyDeleteWhere is that great bedspread in the 2nd bedroom....I love that bedspread! ;) I love what you have done but I was so in love with that bedspread, I tried my hardest to copy that too but could never find it. :) hahaha
Amazing! What a cozy, beautiful (and handsome too) room for your precious gift from heaven!
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine had debilitating back pain during her pregnancy, too. She just delivered 2 weeks ago and now her pain is GONE! I sincerely hope for you that your situation is the same (although it'd be even better if it dissipated now in your final weeks).
Hugs,
Heather
I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love the nursery. Very cute indeed!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE the room! It's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteSo cute...er, I should so COOL for a baby boy's room!
ReplyDeleteit's fantastic! where did you get the zoo pillow (or the fabric for it -- did you make it?)?
ReplyDeleteI want one too! :)
Thanks, everyone! You're so sweet!
ReplyDeletebabydistrict - I did make it and the fabric is 2D Zoo by Alex.ander He.nry. It's actually a year or so old and I couldn't find it in fabric stores so I ordered it online (I ended up buying it on Etsy.. you can actually find a lot of things made with it on Etsy too).
Tridentine Wife - They're from Michael's and Target. They were in Clara's room with pink liners so I just took them out and instead of buying boy-colored ones I'm just leaving them liner-less!
And LH - It's the same tan wall color from when it was a guest room. We were glad it worked out not to re-paint!
Ohmygosh... do you have two cribs and two changing tables in your house?? Crazy!! LOVE baby boy's room!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteLove your nursery!! :) You have one mighty lucky baby boy there!
ReplyDeletewait wait, a few posts ago you were like "I can't do anything"....and now we find out you've been sewing your own pillows?!!?!
ReplyDeleteyou may have to open your own etsy shop when things slow down for ya!! :)
Kerry - Haha! I actually did this well before the pain set in.. thankfully! It was very unlike me to not procrastinate and I wondered why I was doing it so early. Now I know why! The room would be empty if I had left it til now :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the color on the walls.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful! You have a knack for decorating!
ReplyDeleteIts awesome!!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!! I think I saw in the corner a "My little Lamb" Bouncer? I got the same one for Peyton and I love it! The colors you picked are so perfect too! I think you did a great job!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love the nursery!! I know this sounds annoying but all those aches and pains will be a fleeting memory once baby boy is here.
