Boy Room Inspiration: Photo from On to Baby


If it's a boy I want to have the decor all "Little Man" themed.

Mustashe Mobile: This one is for sale on Etsy!

I'm pretty sure I can make this myself! I'm going to try for sure (if it's a boy!)

Mustash Chalk board decal! Again for sale on Etsy but I'm going to try and make it myself!




Girl Room Inspiration: Photo from On to Baby


If it's a girl I really like the peach, light pink tones for the accents!!

Baby Purchases

I have been so excited about my recent "big" baby purchases. So far we haven't got a ton but we do have some of the main things. On Saturday I went to Babies R Us to take advantage of the sale!
We've painted the baby room a light grey called "Dolphin Fin"


It looks really warm in the room, the baseboards, trim and doors are all white so my theme is a calming, serene, classy feel for the room. When we find out the gender we'll add some POPS and decide on the fun accessories and decor! More to come on that!

My wonderful in laws (Grandma & Grandpa) bought our crib for us from Toys R Us.



My wonderful mom (Nana Jubes) bought us the dresser/change table (also from Toys R Us)!



Over the weekend I went and bought a few more things for baby that we'll need before he/she arrives!



We got this play pen - it will fit beside our bed if we need it to (which I'm guessing we will) plus has the amazing roof cover for outside!! I love this! It was regular $150, on for $100! Nana Jubes generously offered to pick up the tab on this one too!! Such a good nana! ;)




I got this little bassinet for our bed! This way baby can sleep right with us for the first little while and I don't have to worry about rolling over on him/her or the dogs laying on him/her! It was regular $60 and I got it for $35!! Who doesn't love a good deal right??

My only impulse buy which was SUCH a good deal, I couldn't pass it up was on this high chair!!



I bought the floor model. Regular price $280, got it for a hundred BUCKS! How could I pass this up?? PLUS Nana Jubes is picking up the tab on this one too! We're so blessed!!! This baby is so spoiled already!!







The only other items we have found that we want - are...

This DENIM Peg Perego car seat!!


For anyone that knows us, will get why we NEED to have the denim...



Our Wedding Day


Another jean-xedo (as hubby calls them) pic! The "Canadian Tuxedo" Jean on Jean or Jeanxedo!! ;)

Now you see why we need the DENIM baby gear????

This is one thing I am DESPERATE for... but will hold off on getting til AFTER the baby comes!!

Peg Perego-GT3 Completo Stroller-Denim!!!


I'll keep ya posted on my purchases and/or gifts as we continue along this amazing new adventure!!

Preggy Update!

I'm going to try to update this more regularly now!! I found this set of cute questions to go through each week, so my new goal is to do a blog posting each week to track the pregnancy!!

How far along? 19 Weeks
Maternity clothes? I bought 2 maternity shirts (in Vancouver with my Mom back at 8 weeks - still haven't been wearing those much yet since I don't have MUCH of a belly). I bought a pair of black mat work pants, belly band and a pair of mat jeans! Otherwise I'm just wearing all flowy tops!
Weight: Up a total of 12 Lbs
Stretch marks? No
Sleep: Waking up more often - somewhat restless - exhausted but can't turn my mind off! I used to have the BEST sleeps...
Best moment this week: Feeling the baby move! The flutters!!! It feels like bubbles bursting, or butterflys fluttering!
Have you told family and friends: Yes!
Miss Anything? The odd glass of wine and sometimes I crave just a sip of beer!!
Movement: flutters!! Started at 17 weeks +
Food cravings: Salty over sweet!
Anything making you queasy or sick: Smells are starting to bother me now - my coworkers B.O. or my hubby's axe!
Have you started to show yet: A little bump so far.. its getting bigger!
Gender prediction: I have thought BOY all along, now that our 20 week ultrasound is booked I'm starting to second guess!!! I'm about 80/20 split for boy vs. girl
