Nursery Pictures

We had such a great weekend and I'm really enjoying all of the time that I am able to relax before the new baby is here.

On Saturday, the temperature finally dropped down and it felt like Fall. It rained for a lot of the day too, so I stayed in the house and kept warm. Travis took Avery outside for a little while, and mowed the grass, and I actually put a hat and gloves on Avery, even though she was wearing shorts the day before! We watched some college football and lounged around in the afternoon. I did make some hot air balloons from paper lanterns for the baby's room, and they turned out pretty cute! I also found some free hot air balloon printables which I printed and framed, and the nursery is starting to come together! Check out my Pinterest to see where I got the pictures and balloon tutorials. Here are some pictures I took yesterday. The colors aren't what I imagined at first, but I love how it's turning out! I still might get a few more things for the walls, but I think it looks beautiful so far!

(We're going to put her first initial in the white frame after we name her.)

 

With the mobile:

As you can see we are keeping the queen size bed in the room for now. Our house only has three bedrooms, and it will be nice to keep the bed in there as long as possible while our baby is sleeping in our room for the first few weeks or so (for guests.)  Everything fits and gives the room a "cozy" feeling haha. We'll also be switching the rocking chair for the glider in Avery's room, but we'll wait until the baby is here to do that, since we still use the glider for stories with Avery. I love that even though we are using the same furniture we used with Avery, the room has a very different feel than her nursery.

On Sunday we actually went to a chili cookoff at a friend's house, and saw many of our friends (and their families) from Allegheny. It was fun because most of them have kids now that are 3 and under, and Avery enjoyed being there too. We watched more football and realized it's a different kind of party than it used to be, but it's fun to talk to other parents and watch our kids play together.  Avery got to see lots of babies and I really think she's going to love being a big sister soon!
