Glider/Recliner

So I posted several weeks ago about a glider that we both loved. It was a little castle cottage recliner that was amazing when you sat it in and we were both SOLD until we saw the price of $889 before tax and delivery. Well after a long trip to Seattle and then Southcenter yesterday we decided on another glider recliner that is more in our price range. But only after one last trip to LAZY BOY so I could veto it.
This is the chair we chose its by Best Charis and the style is Tryp.

The only thing we didn't like about the recliner is that you can't recline without putting the feet up.
So after deciding to purchase this recliner we and when I saw we I mean I have the daunting task of picking the fabric.
Here is the book and what it looks like:



Now this is just for fun commentary:

Can you say GRANDMA


CRAZY!!


This screams Nursery!!! I couldn't use it anywhere else in the house later, but sure is soft!!



This is so FUN, but I'm not risky enough to order it... :(

Now for our real three choices:




Any comments would be much appreciated and taken to heart! <3

Lastly on our full day excursion to Seattle yesterday I purchased these drawer pulls from Anthropology. I just love them :) You can't really tell by the picture but they are lavender. I plan to put all three on to the changing table.


Well thanks for your notes and votes for the chair. Hugs to you all.

26 Weeks

Well I've been feeling much better this last week. I could even say that maybe...perhaps...if I tried really hard I "enjoyed" this last week of pregnancy :)

Here is my picture from 25 weeks...


And here is 26 weeks 2 days...I'm starting to get big!


As for this last week I really decided to get into the groove of the nursery since I don't want to be doing it all at the end of the pregnancy when I am to big to move and its too hot out.
So last week I taped the nursery so that Steve could prime it! Here is the beginning pictures.





Next I ordered some crib sheets in this fabric:


Then I decided to replicate a mobile that I found online.


So I ordered six little birdies off of etsy that look like this...


Now I need to make a trip to Ikea for the lamp and hopefully to a crib store out in Southcenter at the same time so Steve and I can try out some more chairs. So thats my week baby wise. Hope your all feeling well and enjoying the sun! What a week the Lord has given us :) Love you all

A List of woes...

First I'll start off with pictures of week 23 Bump...


The fruit for week 23 is...


Last week I was feeling pretty good...Up working alot, not nauseous, tired but not sleeping, nothing to complain about. Thats probably why I never blogged I was to busy working or having fun!!

Now this week is a whole other story.

Let me first share with you that I had a check up on Tuesday and I am officially up 17lbs! WHAT???? Where did all this weight come from?? Are you kidding me. I haven't even been eating that much...
So here is a picture of 24 weeks 5 days to my little medicine ball in my belly.


Secondly I have not pooped in over 8 days...Do you know how much you eat in 8 days??? So here is a tribute picture to being constipated... (Only a nurse would feel so free as to sharing this)....

Thats right a picture of a clean and empty toilet!!

Third...
I'm still throwing up...Yes thats right almost 6 months and I'm still vomiting. Two nights ago I was laying in bed and all of a sudden the urge to vomit became overwhelming, I ran to the toilet and there was my lunch and dinner... (Lunch because it still can't get out lol) And here is my tribute to VOMITING...Oh yes 2 busted veins in my eye.


The rest is just icing on the cake...Steve and I have been home for 4 days sick and sneezing, and of course a second yeast infection is a necessity at this time.

On a happy note we ordered our crib! Finally...YAY!! I would like to start to work on the nursery before I'm the size of a boat.

I am excited for a very neutral calm nursery with splashes of lavender throughout just to make it girly. We already purchased a nice pottery barn cabinet that we plan on using as the changing table. The only piece of furniture left to buy is glider. What I would like to purchase and what is cost effective are definitely not the same thing.

This chair runs about $800 so if you have any alternatives that are NOT and I repeat NOT a lazy-boy (Yes already fought that battle) Then let me know.

Off to resting on the couch some more. Hope all is well with your family. And my next blog should be a little more upbeat :)
