Last Sunday, B and I painted Vivy's room a Benjamin Moore custom grey. They were able to match the grey in her bedding for her paint color which made me happy. I was having the hardest time finding a grey that I liked since all of them had a blue tint. Going custom was a little scary because you had to buy a gallon and not sure if it was going to turn out the way you want...the paint color always seem different when you have it in the natural lighting once it dries. Thankfully it turned out great!
Dresser. The toy basket I found at Home Goods.
Side note: No one told me that you have to remove the crib bumper each time you change the crib sheet! What a pain! I will be purchasing Ultimate Crib Sheet that was recommended to me by a friend.
Her clothes are mainly Carter's, Baby Gap and few I purchased on Amazon. The yellow in front is a Woombie.

Saturday, February 9, 2013We are having a.... Missy is already spending all my money. That's the way its suppose to be, right?! I've already purchased her bedding, changing pad covers, crib mattress, clothes from www.zulily.com, more clothes from Baby Gap. Today we are going to Myrtle Beach to pick up her nursery furniture :) We are getting things together!    
I can't believe I purchased a mattress from Wal-Mart, but surprisingly, it received great reviews. Plus, you can't beat the price!
Vivian's little outfits from Zulily take 14-17 days before we receive them. They have really cute clothes, but half the cost. I'm sure I will purchase more from their website, but won't to make sure the quality is up-to-par.
She will certainly be spoiled rotten at first. As she gets older, I'm going to do my best and not give her everything she wants. I think kids these days are less appreciative and I don't want her to be that way. Hopefully, I can be strong! I will post a belly picture next week and I will be on track with my board. Happy Saturday everyone!!

Wednesday, January 30, 2013First purchases...
After having two ultrasounds and hearing the heartbeat I thought it would be okay to go ahead and make a few purchases for little peanut. I knew no matter the what the gender was, I wanted the nursery furniture in espresso. I like white but I fell white furniture doesn't keep 'white' for a long period of time. After searching several sights for several days I found www.babysdream.com. To me, they have the best looking furniture and seems to be great quality. This site does offer free shipping to a baby shop closest to your location which brought us to this adorable children's boutique in Myrtle beach called The Kangaroo Pouch. Brian was kind enough to ride down with me on Saturday to take a look and see if they carried this line in their store which thankfully they did. After looking at each crib and dresser very carefully we made our purchase. We decided on the Everything Nice (Spice) Crib. The great thing about this crib is that it converts to a queen size bed. Great investment I believe.
As for the dresser we decided on the Legendary line. The drawers pulled out smoothly and it is tall which we both really liked. Again, this dresser will work well as he/she grows up.
Along with the furniture I bought a few other items, which was purchased online, to get me feeling like a little one is on the way. My purchases include: a diaper bag, bottles, Sofie the giraffe and a plush giraffe that plays soothing music.
     
I still can't believe that I'm pregnant! I think once I feel this little one kick then I will officially believe I have a human growing inside me. We find out the gender on Wednesday, February 6th. Can't wait to find out if Baby Kinard will be a he or she!!
