Nesting Instinct Insanity

So, I felt this burst of energy yesterday. I wasn't sure if it was just the feeling of freedom because this is Labor Day weekend, or... something more sinister.

I spent the day cleaning everything in site. I scrubbed the kitchen down to the bones and swept the entire house -- including moving all the furniture and sweeping underneath it all. Along with some help from my sisters, we cleaned out the living room by moving boxes and the poker table into storage, and the wine fridge and Riley's cage out of the room. Now, the only things left in the living room are the things relevant to putting down the new floor! YES!

Suzi and I worked a little more on the nursery. And, I was able to figure out what else we're going to need for baby girl.

It was a very good day. I felt productive, and only slightly insane -- that poker table is heavy!

AND! I wasn't the only one being productive!

Thrifty Man and my little brother got the very last of the roof project materials returned to Lowe's and the last pile of wood shingles into the dumpster!

(It gets even better!)

While my wonderful husband was at Lowe's, he decided to look at baseboards and trim for our bedroom!! So, he bought it and stained it all yesterday! I'M SO EXCITED!

Today, we'll be finishing up the last few projects in the nursery and maybe even get some of the trim up! It's going to be a great weekend :)

Oh. And, hopefully, I'll be laboring on Labor day. Really hoping baby girl gets here soon. I'm becoming extremely impatient.

:)

Thirty-Two weeks down...

Only eight or so more to go. (Which equates to about 53 days now. YES!!!)

I can't wait.

I'm really over this whole pregnancy thing. I just want our baby girl to be here, in the flesh, and not inside my belly anymore. I'm ready to have my body back.

These past few weeks have been extremely busy. I've been working on her nursery, getting that all painted and preparing it for the new carpet. There's still a lot of little things that need to be worked on. I feel like this list just never ends...

I need to take some pictures of the roof project's progress this weekend. It's still pretty overwhelming.

But, excitingly enough, we have electricity in our bathroom! YES!!!! Now, we just need to get a plumber in here and the floor put down. Maybe I can do some "encouraging" this weekend since it's supposed to rain and Thrifty Man won't be able to work on the roof.

I'll post the updates after the weekend!

So, this green is similar to the one I'm thinking of using.

And, I think there's a good balance between the girly versus neutral combination here. Although, with my choice in bedding, our pink and purple accents will be in the accessories.

I really like the idea of this nursery.

I'm leaning towards doing silver, light green and dark green stripes with our crib bedding set.

And, our furniture is going to be natural wood. But, this is still inspirational :)

I really just like the flower mural on the wall.

I'm not a huge periwinkle fan, but I think the subtleness of the flower makes it super cute. :)

Baby Girl Nursery Ideas

I just really like this one. I really like that they took a typically masculine color and feminized it. I love the contrast in the colors -- the bright white, blue and dark brown.

It's beautiful!

I think this room is very whimsical. I love the rocking chair. And I think the birds and heart flowers are absolutely adorable.

Again, not really what I'm thinking of doing... but, adorable none the less. :)

If I was looking at doing the more classic "princess pink," this is probably what I would do.

I think it's very very cute :)

I really like the rug and the curtains. :)

Other than that, I'm not a big fan of the green and pink combo (in these shades).
