Mommy Mondays: 34 Weeks

As we start getting closer to the big day, I've started taking this whole "where's the baby going to sleep" thing seriously.  Meaning I've started "registering" and planning out the nursery.

Registering is in quotes because since this is my second, I'm not having a shower.  The only reason I've registered at all is to get the registration discount on things we'd purchase anyway.  Like new sheets and towels.   And pretty soon I'll actually buy the things we've registered for!

For now, I've picked up some things as I've seen them on sale, like the bedding, as well as things that take longer to come in - like the wall prints and the rug.

Most of the furniture we're reusing from Thatkid - like the crib, dresser, and glider.  Oppo-baby also has the added benefit of getting to share the space.  Since we're in a 3 bedroom, we didn't want to lose the guest room space.  So the nursery is going to double as a guest room (and actually for the first weekish of Oppo-baby's life will also be Thatboy and my room...since my mother in law is afraid to stay in a hotel by herself....)

I found a print on Etsy that inspired everything - a small version is pictured below, rainbows and rockets.  Which I felt was a great way to keep things neutral, bright colors and rocket ships!

Next Appointment: May 4
Maternity clothes? Mostly maternity.  Mostly dresses.
