Art Work Love

We've been scouring the Craft blogs and the wonderful world of Etsy for some killer art work to give Nova's room that extra pop of color 

Since art work is obviously not on our "needs list" We havent pulled the trigger on anything quite yet. I thought i would showcase a few of our faves.

We are finding more and more artwork a bit on the sarcastic playful side and these four are by far the most hilarious!

These hand stitched beauties have inspired me to try my own hand at some embroidery work. But we would totally love to purchase one or two.

Slowly, but surely...

So ever since finding out that we're having a little girl...we've had a blast figuring out what to do in her room! The hardest thing so far has been color!!!

We went through several samples and a few dozen color swatches, but FINALLY found one we really thought would work. It's dainty, but with a nice vintage/nostalgic tone to it. It also opened up all sorts of ideas for decor in there. Here are a few little details of what we have so far. Still DEFINITELY a work in progress, with lots of details and room rearrangements in the future, but it's good to finally see some momentum!

30 Weeks

Well 30weeks + 4 Days
Thats like um 10 weeks till my due date...... CRAZYNESS!
My Nova should be about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds about the size of a head of cabbage. 

My baby is a mover it sometimes feels nonstop. It is amazing watching my belly shape shift and feeling her head or bottom poking out my side just not so much at 11pm when I'm trying to sleep! Everything is looking great we were told she had a gorgeous heart and a ton of hair for a 28 week old i am now giddy for bows and hair flowers.

We have been collecting fun things for her room for awhile now and things are really starting to come together.

How far along? 30 weeks

Sleep: Not so much... my baby loves to "punch" my mattress when im on my side which keeps me up. Also my belly is big and getting bigger so sleep is getting harder

How am i feeling: I really have been feeling good a little tired here and there Nesting! Nesting! Nesting!

Total Weight Gain: 20 pounds - My maternity jeans are officially snug i can where them out and about but not if I want to sit down for long periods of time they cut into my belly :(

Food Cravings: Hmm more watermelon please!

Gender: GIRL

What i'm looking forward to: our childbirth classes start in a few weeks and i am very excited :)

Best moment this week: When Aaron calls her by name and she responds... its Awesome!

Milestone: I am at the beginning of my third trimester and time is flying by! A crib has been bought and nursery things are really coming together
