Nursery Pictures

The tree decal came in yesterday and Nick put it up today, so the nursery is finally done! Ever since I got pregnant I have been obsessed with giraffes and I have no idea why, so as you can see we went with a giraffe theme. I saw the picture that is over the changing table years ago and I've always loved it. I bought the print for .97 cents on Amazon and got the frame super on sale at Michael's, so that was a steal. I am a huge animal lover (in case you couldn't tell!), so I played around with different animal ideas - but as I like neutral colors, I decided to keep it simple. So happy with how everything came out :)

Amazing amount of clothes! The dresser is also full!

At least I don't block the whole crib ;)

I have to find a good place for all the amazing books we received!

Nick surprised me with this adorable switchplate he got on eBay- perfect!

Christmas is Coming!

I'm so excited that Christmas is just a week away. Today I'm also at 27 weeks, so I'm just about ready to head into my third trimester. It really is crazy how fast time has gone by! I am feeling great, I love the way I look, and I feel very lucky to have had virtually no problems whatsoever. I have noticed I'm getting tired a little easier, but that's certainly nothing to complain about. Plus, it also takes a few tries to get my socks and shoes on, but thankfully I can enlist Nick's help for that :)

Nick is currently painting what will be the nursery. We're having the carpet replaced in the room in early January and then we can really get everything together. We already have the crib, changing table (thanks Dad!), glider (thanks Mom!), valances, mobile, lamp, bedding (thanks Drista Mom!), and some other fun items (thanks friends, you know who you are!) so we'll have a nice little set up very soon.

Here's a few recent pics

Maggie, Me & Brooke at Brunswick for the FCC party, bowling! People were SO surprised that I bowled...I felt like saying I'm not broken, just pregnant!

Relaxing..although Dexter doesn't really seem to be into it.

Me, Caroline, and Danielle - I ADORE these girls. Nick took a bunch of pics, half of which had a shadow across them because his hand was over the flash. We were out until about midnight...and my normal bed time is 8:30 ish. I was tired the next day, but it was well worth it. They're already planning a huge summer 'Crystal comeback' bash for when I'm able to have a cocktail again ;)
