Over the weekend we made some progress on Hampton's nursery. We got the bedding, painted the walls, added some curtains, and a side table. It was a lot of work in such a short period of time but it was worth it. It looks great and I love what we've done so far.
Jeff and I spent a lot of time looking for crib bedding. I felt like this was the theme of the nursery and we would base everything else around the bedding. Once I saw this I knew it was it. It is the Nantucket Collection by Bananafish.
The paint color is light blue. I had originally wanted to go with something more neutral like a gray but I'm glad it turned out the way that it did.
The curtains still need some work but you can still see what they look like here. They are navy and white striped.
This last picture is of the side table. It was hard to find the perfect table to fit in such a small space. Plus, I really wanted it to have drawers or shelves for extra storage. I found this one at Hobby Lobby and painted it navy. It is perfect. We also found the cute elephant lamp at World Market.
I wanted to end with one of the most special moments that I've experienced thus far. Two days ago I felt Hampton kick for the first time. I have been waiting and waiting for this to happen. My doctor has been asking me if I felt anything for a month now. It turns out I have an anterior placenta which just means the placenta is between the baby and my stomach adding extra insulation. So, it took a little longer for me to feel his movements. Now that I've felt it I'm on cloud nine. It is the sweetest feeling.
