  • 3.5 months since moving out of the city and into a house. The house is great and we are all settled in.  But the house has largely taken a back seat to me being....3.5 months pregnant as well.  I've largely been too tired during the 1st trimester to care about doing any projects around the house and now the only project I'm really interested in is setting up the nursery and getting all the baby gear together.  How can one little thing require so many bajillion little things?

    I don't know the gender yet but there are still plenty of things I can get started on buying.  Today I asked the hubs if he had any ideas about a nursery theme.  I thought I would largely be grasping at straws with that question.  But to give him credit, he said right away, you mean like a safari theme?  I thought that was a cute idea.  One of our favorite vacations has been the safari we took to South Africa.  I'm probably not going to be doing animal print bedding and fur throws but I like the idea of an animal kingdom theme. 

    Hautelook is having a sale on toys by HaPe today so I picked up 8 of them to go with our theme.  They will make cute decorations until the baby becomes a toddler and then will probably wreck the heck of them.

    I also found this wall art from Land of Nod that I am thinking of getting.

    I just made the hubs measure out all the furniture that I've tentatively picked out to make sure it will all fit in the baby's room.  So he's been pretty helpful today.  But then he tried to make me eat some expired sweet bread to see if it was still acceptable to eat. Hello, I'm pregnant and you want to me taste test expired food for you?
