Planning the nursery

I'm really excited. Today I begin the planning of the nursery-getting a quote for painting :) The blue room is not going to be "the blue room" for much longer!
We are so lucky, that room is PERFECT for a baby. I am going to go over to Home Depot today and pull the paint options for color. I didn't realize that Disney has Winnie the Pooh colors......and there are over 50. Ridiculous right? I have an idea of what I want. Since we are NOT going to find out boy/girl we are planning a classic Winnie the Pooh nursery. Too bad there are 30 "classic" paint colors! We did a good job with the paint colors in the rest of the house, so I'm hoping this goes as smooth.
On of my favorite ideas is adding a chair-rail. Can't wait to find out if that is do-able. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to describe that to Keith...I'm not doing a good job. I need to find a picture.

So now that I'm in the 4th month....14 weeks...its setting in that this is really real. I am hoping that my energy is on its way back. I feel motivated by the spring weather. Can't wait to be outside again, taking walks, relaxing on the deck, watching baseball-fabulous.
I need to take a few side-profile pictures (thanks Kelli). The baby is definitely a big bump. Keith loves it. I'm getting used to it. My work clothes don't fit. I really don't want to buy Chase maternity clothes...I'm going to try and stretch (literally) what I have using the bella band.
It is fun to actually "show" instead of being the sick, no energy girl that SAYS she's pregnant. That gets old. I remember Lisa A. saying that when she was pregnant with Teagan. She was excited to finally "show" and have the visual instead of explaining. Let's see...what else??? Ohhhh-stretch marks-these are fun and fabulous! Sometimes I count them - what the heck else can you do about them except stare at them? Such pretty things arent they.
So since this is the year of the pregnancy, I just want to say hi to all the other baby makers who read the blog. I know we're all within a couple of week or months of each other...so I hope things are going great for everyone and you're enjoying the spring weather and sunshine. I am going to plan a "mock tail" party as soon as the spring weather levels off....so maybe April. We can have fake cocktails and yell at the not-pregnant smokers to smoke far far away from us and eat yummy platefuls of stuff and not give a shit :)
