TEN WEEKS - Nursery Ideas

Ten weeks already! I can't believe I only have a couple more weeks before my first trimester is over! Overall, I think I have done really well this trimester. Same old, same old here this week. Small waves of nausea, tired all the time, bloated, and headaches but nothing too severe. I am so excited about second trimester! I am ready to have a belly, start feeling energized again for a while, and find out the gender! I am already dying to know! How am I going to wait 10 more weeks??? 

This past week was funny because I was craving broccoli and cheese soup, Egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches, scrambled eggs, and milk. (I could not get enough milk! Seriously it tastes like candy to me right now! lol) Then I read online that this week is especially important for calcium. Baby is growing teeth under it's gums and continuing to harden bones this week. I thought it was funny that I was craving calcium rich foods (milk, eggs, cheese, broccoli) without realizing why! Funny how your body knows what it needs even when you don't realize!

I have been working a little bit on the dumbo nursery. For some reason I always pick an idea that is the hardest thing to find! I haven't been able to find any dumbo bedding that I like but I did find this fabric at Joanne's that I thought I could use to make some... or at least a few pillows! I feel like this would only work for a boy's room though. Either way I am going to make the bedding primarily pink/blue (depending on boy or girl) and grey. I found some really cool iron-on dumbo patches that I thought I could put on the bumper around the crib.

Here is a sneak peak at the drawings I have been working on. I am going to color them really nice. I will add pink or blue accents depending on boy or girl. I am also going to matte the pictures in really nice frames with alternating pink or blue and grey backgrounds. (Kind of like the picture below)

I am hoping to make a sign like this one with the Baby of Mine lullaby lyrics (in pink or blue, depending)

And I am buying this SUPER CUTE wall decal... I love it! I have a ton of other little items that I want to add such as light switch cover, throw pillow for rocking chair, pink/blue curtains, dumbo stuffed animal for dresser, pink/blue lamp, etc...

 

I am definitely doing a lot of D.I.Y. which is a lot of fun, and will save us a ton of money! Mainly I like to DIY because I like things to be exactly how I want them! lol
