NURSERY WEEK!

I thought to change things up a bit I'd dedicate this week to all things baby nursery and most importantly how I plan on decorating the baby's nursery. I would love input from my readers on nursery items they suggest/don't suggest or just anything you want to share. Let's get this blog more interactive!

CRIBS:

I figured the best way to begin is with a crib post. We have decided to go with a 4-in-1 convertible crib that will grow the baby. Safety reign most important followed by price and style. I've seen some GORGEOUS cribs but they literally cost in the range of a mortgage payment and I could never stomach spending that type of money! I mentioned it before but here's the crib we are going with, the Da Vinci Kalani in Espresso

I just love the style of the crib, from the curved lines to it's thickness of the bars. Plus the price is great at $250! Another thing that I like that we could always reuse the crib for a second baby and just buy gumdrop one of those car beds that all little boys seem to love! When choosing your crib what factors did you consider? Do you think it was worth the money? How long did your child use it for?

Friday Survey and V-DAY!!!!

Wow I can't believe I'm at 24 weeks already! I remember reading other blogs and pregnant mommies talking about hitting their V-Day, It just seemed so far away for me. Well for those who don't know V-Day stands for viability and it's where the baby has a better chance of surviving outside the womb (with medical intervention of course). Here's a diagram that explains it a little more

Today was also a good day as I finally got outside the house! I've been couped up in the house for the last FOUR DAYS! I felt as though the walls were closing in on me. Everyday this week I attempted to go out but I was just really exhausted. Well today I made it a mission, we out and got a nice pedicure and to visit my mom. Now on to the survey!
