Pregnancy/Baby

Baby Smied’s Nursery

Hello, birth month!  How are we already here?  I can’t believe it’s almost time to meet our little one, pregnancy feels like it’s gone so quickly and so slowly at the same time.  I’m definitely noticing that I’m more emotional than usual lately.   I think it’s a combination of mourning the idea that I will no longer be pregnant soon, and have my little “buddy” in my belly everywhere I go, and also the idea of transitioning into actual parenthood.  It’s a big change – scary, and exciting, and just…everything all at once.

We finally finished putting together the baby’s nursery, and I love it.  Since we opted to leave the baby’s gender a surprise, we didn’t go with a theme, or super gender-specific colors.  This works well with our decorating style anyways, which tends to be neutrals with pops of color.  The walls are Benjamin Moore Gray Owl, and the trim is White Dove (No surprise there.  This is my favorite white and I use it everywhere I can!).

When I was pinning ideas for decor, I quickly fell in love with the Canada-based brand Pehr Designs.  I stumbled across their alphabet quilt in a local boutique here in town, and had to have it, and then saw the mobile on Amazon.  Things quickly snowballed from there.  Their items are precious and unique, without screaming THIS IS FOR A BABY!  Just our style.

The countdown has begun, and soon enough we’ll have a baby in here.  Feel free to send some good thoughts our way as we get closer to bringing this little one into the world!
