Girl! Girl! Girl!

So, I keep thinking girl. I have been more sick this time around and people keep telling me, and if I were one of those people I would be saying the same thing, that it's a girl. I would like to believe them, and myself, as I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to shop in the girl section of....well....just about anything! I just get lost on Etsy. I've even started to plan the nursery. Thankfully what I think I have decided on, thus far, could go either way....sort of. I think this time around I would really like to do wainscotting, or some kind of chair rail. I didn't do it last time, even though well before I was ever pregnant I always felt like that was a given, something you just did for a babies room...any babies room, be it boy or girl. I just didn't do it. I don't know why, it would probably look super cute in Spencer's room even now.

If you followed my blog the last time I was prego you will remember I changed my mind at least 3 times in the design of Spencer's room. I actually started with a high ambition of making everything........I would say that was my "crazy stage". That lasted until January when I wasn't getting anything done and then one magical evening Shaun and I were registering in Pottery Barn Kids (RIP Bellevue PBK, soooooo sad you're gone) and the most fabulous nursery set was on SUPER SALE!! And I mean SUPER DUPER SALE! It was almost 70% off, or more! I thought about how much the rest of the fabric that I needed was going to cost and decided buying this set would save me a bunch of money, and a WHOLE lot of time......because, again....if you know me at all I am a TERRIBLE perfectionist and have a real problem with re-doing and re-doing and re-doing, just about everything.

Anyhoo....I must be in that crazy stage again, or I have gotten the "crib set", "matching this", "matchy that", it's part of the "set" OUT of my system. I think I'm over the "set". I love how Sarah (of Sarah's House on HGTV, if you don't watch YOU MUST!) mixes old with new. So, I am on my way to being crafty again..........it's been a while, I'm really excited, I just wish I KNEW it was a girl. Below are some pics of a nursery that am in love with already. I would definitely do the blue/grey wall with wainscotting or a char rail. I'm not sure about the crib, but I do love the orange/yellow accents................of course, only if it's a girl. ;-)

This nursery was in a contest on http://www.thebump.com/

Tree Frog

Spencer playing with a Tree Frog. He was so excited, he kept jumping like he
had the hiccups. He wanted to touch it so bad but was really nervous so he
just held his finger at a safe distance. :-)

Oldie but the best!

I have a WONDERFUL habit of taking pictures....what I'm not so good at is putting them on display. I have quite the collection of frames.....but still in boxes. I can never decide on color...black and white...sepia...enhanced....not enhanced.....should I do a black and white wall? Should I do all color? Do black and whites look good next to the colors? So, needless to say, I never put anything up. Point of the story is I am attempting to order prints to frame and came across this photo and it stopped me dead in my tracks. I just CANNOT beleive my little Mun chi chi (yes, named after the Japanese doll, because he looked just like one when he was born) is ONE! I found this photo and it made me tear up. It goes by so fast. When you have a baby people all around, even strangers, say "It goes by so fast", "Enjoy every minute of it", "He'll be in college before you know it" and it's all sort of transparent and you just shake your head ok. Well, it really does! So, DO cherish every second.
