Room Update

Oh today

I am feeling antsy today.

Not sure why. Not sure if its this whole "nesting"thing they speak of. That just seems to be the extreme desire to prepare and decorate (my own personal def.) and I am pretty sure I have that all the time. Pregnant or not.

Today is different though. I feel like I really need to just be cleaning my house. Like mopping the floors and organizing. It was torture coming to work today as all I could think about was going through every drawer in the house and throwing stuff away. Its crazy I tell ya.

I got the bedding last night. Its beautiful bedding. Very soft, very cute. Very bluey green? I don't know. Chris is not thrilled with the shade of bluey green and to be honest its not the exact color of the walls, but then again, I have searched EVERYWHERE and I just don't know if I can bare to begin looking again. I am going to trouble shoot it tonight and tomorrow and figure out if I can add orange ribbon and maybe who knows what else to make it work more with our decor. It really is beautiful bedding and I love it on its own, just got to find a way to incorporate it into the room more. (I'll post pictures once I decide what I'm going to do)

In other news we need a baby name. Well we think we may have one. We like Christian. Or Cristian. We are leaning towards the latter spelling. I just don't know. What do you all in the blogsphere think?

Cristian Bishop Baksa? You like?

Bishop we pulled outta no where and we love it. I just don't know what to name this little guy. Part of me can see myself calling him Cristian. My cute little Cristian. Spelling it without the "h" makes it a little different and hopefully cuts down on people calling him Chris. (no offense but Chris and I don't want to call him Chris, otherwise well we'd just call him Chris..)

Oh here's how I kept my sanity at work today. I did a little "planning" err shopping for things I have been wanting to check off my list.

I so want this:

Its a boppy cover. Its minky black on the back and this damask print on the front. I didn't buy it, but so want to. I'm going to wait until after my showers are over and see if I get my boppy and a cover. Its on Etsy.com if anyone is looking to pretty much make me the happiest girl (ha) out there...hint hint... http://www.etsy.com/shop/mollyannemake

This:

Its a diaper wipes case. I think it will look great in my diaper bag. And for $7 bucks!

This:

This is an awesome burp cloth with black minky material on one side and damask on the front. Its $8. I have been looking for one that I can buy so I have something I can replicate :) Or attempt to. I think this would be the official diaper bag burp cloth as well.

I figure $15 isn't too bad for some much needed fun in my day :)

All my love,

coley

It's been brought to my attention...

That I'm slacking on this blog.
Thank you, mom.

Let's see what has been going on with us?

• Colorado was awesome! We had so much fun. It was so good to see family and friends and that baby shower was amazing! Thank you everyone. Pictures to come, Maya took some great ones and is going to send to me (right Maya? :)
• The room is coming along. I will post a few more pictures later this weekend, showing some things we've added. We are headed out of town this weekend, so the animal wall stickers will have to wait until Sunday.
  
• Bedding is coming Monday! Have I shown you? No? Oh well, here it is:

Its by Banana Fish and I found it on Amazon. Originally I was going to work with my MIL to make the bedding, but we have looked and searched and canNOT find any material. They just don't have much out there. Then when I found this for an awesome deal, I figured it was worth a try. I got in on a trail basis b/c I'm not sure the blues are going to work. I think the orange is going to be fine (its a little brighter than shown here) but not sure about the blue. Its a robin eggs blue and I'm thinking that its still in the same color family as the aqua...but you never know until you get it in there, so I've ordered and we'll see. I love that its has animals, polka dots, and the alphabet but its not too...babyish. Yes I'm aware its for a baby. :) I thought if the blue needs to be tied in more, I may replace the bumper ribbons with bright aqua ones...

• Our next doctors appointment is Monday 16th and this one is going to be a doozy. I get to drink that sugary stuff and take the glucose test. So exciting. Did I mention they are going to take my blood yet again? Oh I'm over this blood taking. All for the little guy right?
• We are headed towards our 3rd Trimester...which just seems crazy! How is it that we only have November, December and January left before we get to meet Baby Baksa?
• We are still undecided on a baby name. I'm hoping it just comes to me. Any thoughts?

Love, Nicole

Furniture is Here!

It is finally here! Well I say that and actually its early. We were expecting it sometime around Thanksgiving but it must have just wanted to come now :) Which I am totally good with.

Updates

• Furniture is here! Almost a month before we thought it would be! Since we are going out of town this weekend, we are going to go pick it up next Friday. Cannot wait to see it in the room.
• I found my diaper bag. Its amazing. Pictures to come. (Thanks Laura for picking it up in Atlanta!)
• Carpal Tunnel. I've got it. Apparently its very easy to get carpal tunnel when you are pregnant. Joy. We had a doctors appointment yesterday so the doctor told me all I need to do is wear a brace at night (to stop me from curling up my fingers and sleeping on my hand) and try to take it easy on it this week. Boy does it hurt.
• We leave for Colorado tomorrow!

Can't wait to post all the pictures of our trip and our new baby stuff. Its really going to feel like we are really really having a baby with a crib in the house. Oh I can't wait.

Love, Coley

Colorado Bound!

• In 6 days we will be in wonderful Colorado to see our family & friends. We have lots of fun lined up, including a baby shower (Thanks Myriam,Darcie and Maya!!), a few shopping trips, checking out Jason's new house, post birthday celebrations with Maya and Maureen, a pre birthday celebration with Mike, did I mention shopping?!, and laying on the couch.

• Its going to be wonderful.

• Since we are leaving straight from work next week I need to start packing us on Saturday. That's the goal. Everyone says that you have to plan so much more when you have a baby, I think that goes for being pregnant too. I have to give myself enough time in case I get super tired or start feeling gross and just don't want to do anything. Practice for the real thing I guess :)

• This will be my first flight since I'm actually "showing" pregnant and I'm very excited with a little nervousness thrown in. I'm sure all will be okay since this has been the most amazing pregnancy thus far, I just hope I can get comfortable on the plane since that seems to be my major issue these days.

• I took a picture on Sunday for 23 weeks and I will try and post it tonight before the 24 weeks goes up :) 6 months on Sunday 18th! I canNOT believe it. So exciting.

• We've gotten so much done, but lots to finish. Painting is done, we are weighing our options on whether we should start moving stuff in there yet, as the carpet needs a good cleaning. We don't have much to move in though, so may not matter. I still need to order the mobile, wall stickies, rug, fabric and a few other items online.

• In other family news, Angelo Baksa has grown up. He's a big puppy now. This whole week Angelo has been staying at home, with free reign of the house, all by himself. We put the trash can in the pantry and shut that door (that dog doesn't need any temptations) but other than that, he's just hanging out being a big boy, err dog. I cannot fully wrap my mind around it. I never thought we'd see the day. We video taped him the first two half days (we are those parents) and watched what he did. After the first hour of running to the window, running up the stairs to that window and back, we figured we didn't need to see anymore.

• Yeah Angelo! Freedom from the crate at last.

Love,

coley

The Room! Painted!

Angelo sleeps, err helps Chris paint.

Look at the fabulous job my amazing husband is doing!

Here's Chris painting away.

And look at the amazing job he did!

Doesn't it look great!

Chris did this all in one day! I am so happy with it.
The colors came out great and I think everything is going to match perfectly.

Thanks honey!
