THE CRIB IS IN!

We are back from Texas and can not thank everyone enough for the wonderful time and presents for Alice! I keep saying over and over how lucky she is, but again we are so grateful for all of your support and love!

So with all the new goodies we are having shipped from Texas, we are getting further along with her nursery.

The sheets are in and her crib is ready!!!

We got a few different fitted sheets from Target, 2 are floral and the other is striped. Her top sheet is actually the sheet that I had in my crib, that is embroidered with little ducks and blocks along the top, then we were given a beautiful vintage comforter with red polka dots on the back and nursery rhymes on the front. The stuffed animals were actually Nic's when he was a baby and then we LOVE aunt Jeanette's stole on the side of her crib! All of this makes for a beautiful crib for Alice!

Next is our changing table that is almost finished, really we are just going to get some baskets and hang a shelf above for extra storage. Also above the crib we will be hanging a series of photos, art, and shelves, will post pics after!

We are still waiting for our largest box from Dallas with the majority of stuff to arrive, but it will be here soon! Then the glider and rug should be in and then Alice is the final touch!

Again we had the best time in Texas seeing you guys and are sad it will be so long until we see you again, especially now that we had that earthquake on Tuesday and trying to get ready for the hurricane this weekend! If you are wondering, our apartment shook I thought I was having a dizzy spell, then I realized Max and Olive were holding on to the ground really low with all fours looking at me for help. So glad everyone is ok, and nothing fell!

XOXO

The start of the nursery..........

Hey everyone!

So now is the time to start getting our nursery ready! Nic took this last weekend to paint her walls a beautiful oyster color.  Martha Stewart is my idol and she makes a great line of paint called, "Precious Metals", which means you take a base color and add an iridescence to it. So we did a light blue with a silver to it, which it looks great with the new chandelier Nic put up! Modern to kind of off set the vintage crib.

The crib gets here Monday morning, which I can not wait to see what it will look like in her room! We also went to a flea market and picked up a changing table, which Nic painted white and we are looking at new hardware for! While we were there we picked Nic up a new desk which we are both very excited about. So it feels like things are rapidly moving forward.

Alice is growing so much and everyday is amazing to feel her movements. Being pregnant is incredible! It is starting to get more difficult sleeping, but other than that everything couldn't be moving any smoother! We do get to go to Texas next week, which we have been waiting for. Some very much needed family and friends time to get in, just not looking forward to the heat. They have been saying this is one of the hotter summers in NYC, but I don't think it is preparing us for was Texas will be like.

So here are some pictures of what we have done to the nursery so far...............
still a long way to go!
