Wall Decal

We've been on a hunt for a wall decal to put over Vivy's crib that we both like for a while now.  After several days and hours, we found this on Etsy.  I placed the order on Sunday and it arrived in less than a week.  I was hesitant on placing the order since you really aren't sure if the colors were going to work.  Was the pink going to be too pink or will the brown work??  Well, I have to say I'm very pleased in the way it turned out.  It was a slight pain putting it up, but we or, should I say Brian, got it up on the wall pretty straight.  We are very pleased.

We are having a....

I thought for sure that we were going to have a little boy since it seems everyone was having a boy.  After talking all her measurements we are now 19 weeks...we thought we were a week further along from our first ultrasound.  Miss Vivian Rose will make her debut July 4th...give or take a few days I hope. 

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!!

First 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!!
