Hi Megg! Great job with all of your creative endeavors. I hope you get funded. I must have missed the boy drama?

Beautiful nurseries Jaymes and Hoping!!!! Round, the design you've picked is lovely. Looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Here are a few pics of Alistair's nursery. I painted his name to match the colors of the room, which is baby zoo animal themed. We hung the border from his crib on the wall. You can't see his bedding but it matches the border, and we found a zoo animal mobile that he just loves. Alex painted the dresser to match the crib. I'm a fan of white/neutral shades. And it will work if the next one's a girl!

ETA: the lady bug quilt doesn't match but it was made by my aunt. And that pen in the walk thru closet is where Weasley sleeps at night lol.

The boy drama isn't worth bothering with. lol

 

[hoping:)]

Megg- I will definitely add you when I get home tonight. 73.5% is VERY exciting!!! Well done! I’m happy that you are so happy and thriving with your book… it’s a HUGE accomplishment!

Jaymes- Lexi’s room is very sweet! I love the fabrics and the details on her crib… it gives the room a romantic girly feel Happy 10 weeks How are you feeling these days... any upcoming scans we should know about?

Allie- I think you did an excellent job on Alistair’s nursery! It has a calming look and it will definitely work out if the next one is a girl! By the way… when will you guys start trying again? Scary and exciting at the same time! I think its cute Alistair and Weasley share a room

Thanks! I painted the leaves on the crib, but now that were expecting another, I am wondering if that was wise... Hopefully I can get it off fairly easily. If not, it wont be a big deal, we'll just have to turn that side toward the wall!
I'm 10 Weeks!!! Just a few more until 1st tri is over, maybe then I can breathe easier. I have a scan next Thursday, I could have made one last week for this Thursday, and now I am REALLY wishing I had! I've been freaking out a bit these last few days.

 

[Megg33k]

I just have to add a "78% now!" to that!

Thanks Allie!

Cute idea for the bumper. I put ours around the outside, but honestly, I had it in there for the first few months until she started wiggling around.

Awe, I love all the nurseries!! Keep them coming, I'm going to need some more ideas over the next few weeks.

Jaymes, wow you're almost out of the first tri. Great news, I can't wait to hear about your scan on Thursday.

Megg, sounds like things are quite busy. I'm glad the writing thing has really taken off for you. You sound really happy.

Allie, I love the white/neutral shades too. I have a dark cherry wood crib and am really regretting it. Maddy's nursery in our first house was huge, so the crib looked really good in there. But this house, the nursery will be so small. All that dark wood isn't going to make it any bigger either....yet I don't have the heart to paint over all the beautiful dark cherry wood.

love all the nurseries...we just moved into our house in February, and so I am not quite done putting Kash's together again yet. Need to hang shelves back up on the wall, and finish with the decor. Since the flooring is all laminate upstairs and not carpet, I need to find an area rug for his room as well.

I'm flying to Calgary today, as I have to head into the main office tomorrow for a training course. I am taking Kash with me, as we are going to stay with my parents and they are going to watch him tomorrow while I'm at work. I have never flown with him before, and so I am a little worried as to how this is going to go. We leave at 12:50, and that is about nap time, so I am hoping he at leasts sleeps the 1.5 hrs to Edmonton. Then we are there for an hour and another 50 minute flight to Calgary. And these are not very large planes that we have here, so it's not like I can get up and walk around with him or anything like that. Fingers crossed that I am worrying for no reason at all.

Megg, that is great that you are almost fully funded! Great job!

 

[hoping:)]

Jaymes- You can always paint over the leaves or paint them in a different color... I really like them I hope these next few weeks fly by! Do you have a dopplar? Mine really helped me out until I felt regular movement

Megg-

Round- it would be a shame to paint over the beautiful wood. I would just try to make the rest of the nursery calm and airy with neutral or pastel colors. Crown molding adds a little height and two toned walls might do the trick (split with a chair rail)

Mel- good luck with the flight... you were smart to plan it around his nap schedule

I bought a sonoline b when I was pregnant with Lexi, but it never worked, I couldn't even find my own hb while holding it over my heart... By the time I got around to returning it, it was past the time. I don't want to buy another.

 

[Jaymes]

I freaked out and bought a new one... $60! Arrg!

 

[jenny25]

Jaymes I bought one hi bebe LCD best thing I bought xx

 

[heart tree]

Damn, I wish I had seen this earlier Jaymie. My sonoline b didn't work immediately either. I had to use brand new batteries and I also had to make sure the probe was pushed in tightly to the unit. Then it worked perfectly.

Loving the nurseries girls. You are all so talented. I have nothing to show for mine. But neither does Vicky, so I don't feel as bad!

Vicky what's happening with the landlady?

Megg, you are on your way to becoming famous! I can't wait to see your book made into a movie. Of course I'll read the book first! Thanks for the CD too!

Mel, great to see you pop in.

I have more catching up to do. Tim just brought home his iPad which I think will be easier to type with while lying down. I continue to read everything though. xoxo

 

[Jaymes]

I'll try replacing the batteries, but the probe doesn't seem to work at all!

 

[vickyd]

Love the nurseries girls!! Im also very envious of your creativity and organisation lol! I cant seem to buy furniture that matches, if you all saw my living room and bedroom you'd know what i mean. I get very confused in furniture shops and end up buying anything just to get out of there lol! I might just get my best friend to do the nursery, she did my wedding and turns out she has pretty good taste.

Hearty nothing has happened with the landlady as we went to see a few places the last couple of weeks around where my mom lives. We noticed that the rent has gone down in that area and are now thinking we should give it a couple more months before we talk to her about doing the changes. I really prefer my moms area for bringing up Hero. Its central but much more quiet and there are many parks to take Hero and Popi. Also its quiet at night, no drunks or junkies roaming the streets haha!!

Also its quiet at night, no drunks or junkies roaming the streets haha!!

Thats a pretty harsh statement coming from a crackhead!

 

[Jaymes]

AMANDA!!!!! You are so totally AWESOME!! I you! It worked and I found baby's HB! And it was 145, and I know it wasn't mine because you could hear mine in there too! At the SAME time!

Um ok... Sorry about all the yelling, I am just so excited!!!

 

[heart tree]

That's so awesome!!! YAY!

There is no way it was your HB at that rate. I was 10+4 when I first heard my baby, and it was very clear (after I figured out that I needed new batteries!) I probably would have heard it earlier if I had gotten it in the mail sooner. Sooooo happy for you! Yell all you want.

Any more bleeding/spotting?

 

[Jaymes]

I have minor spotting every now and then, but nothing like the major bleed 2 weeks ago. It makes me wonder, and I know I shouldn't, if I rushed into the D and C too fast before. I know it's crazy but I keep getting this guilty feeling after watching I didn't know I was pregnant on tlc, this girl was told she had a mmc, and she opted to not do anything surgical. 7 months later she had a wonderful surprise full term baby... I keep going over the what if as if I can change it. Arg! If not for that loss, I would not have Lexi, and she is so wonderful!
Weird rant over... Sorry about that!

 

[heart tree]

I've had such similar thoughts honey. My scans were so early and I was told they weren't viable. I wonder now if for one of them, had I waited, would it have been ok? Totally normal. Try not to look back. Just look forward.
