Babymoon--Photos!

We're back from our vacation!  We had a really great time!  Its weird to think that the next time we go on 'vacation' we're going to have another traveler with us!  :o)

But anyways, I said I would share some photos so here they are:

Biltmore Estate!  

We couldn't take photos of the inside so I only have photos from the outside.

  

 

Chimney Rock!

The scenery around Asheville was beautiful!

Our gems!  :o) Pretty!  :oP

Babymoon!

So my husband and I have planned a little vacation--one last vacation before the baby arrives.  It's nothing special, just a little getaway, but we're excited to take a break from work and spend some time together!

We're leaving for Asheville, North Carolina this Sunday and we'll be driving, so it will take all day (10 hours) to get there.  I wonder how many times we'll have to stop so I can go to the bathroom...  :oP  But we've driven through Asheville before and commented on how beautiful it was so we're excite to actually stay there for a few days!

We got a Blue Ridge Parkway Pass so we're going to hit up some attractions.

We're going to spend an entire day touring and visiting the beautiful Biltmore Estate!

We're going to go to Chimney Rock.  I just hope I can make it up those stairs...  :o/

And we're going to go to a gem mine and hopefully find a beautiful gem... or two... or three!  :o)

We'll probably hit up a few more attractions and walk around the Biltmore Village which has shopping and multiple dining locations.

I'm excited and I'm sure we'll have fun!  I plan on taking lots of photos so stay tuned... I'll post some when we get back!  Thursday we'll make the 10 hour drive home.  :o(  But we'll have the rest of the week off to recoup from our vacation.  :oP

Adorable Name Pendants!

How absolutely adorable are these name pendants?

   

   

I found Cristina's Blog through Hostess Blog.  All of her designs are so cute and dainty... and reasonably priced! (these are no more than $50)  You can fully customize your piece with any saying and obviously any name.

Check out her blog for more designs!  They're wonderful!

The Nursery!

Since I can't start the nursery for another... well who knows how long... I have been obsessed with at least trying to pick everything out for it.  

We're moving and probably won't be in the house until after the baby is born so I will not have an official nursery to bring our baby girl home to (which does not make me happy!!!).  I think it is really screwing up my nesting period but I guess there's nothing I can do about it except be upset, right!?

Anyways, I have been looking at upholstered rockers for the future nursery and have really only found one that I like and is not an ungodly amount of money.  

Oddly enough, it is from Walmart...

I have also been looking for design inspirations for the walls.  If we go with the polka dot bedding from Pottery Barn that I blogged about in my previous entry, then I have been tossing around these ideas:

Oh how I wish I could start the nursery...  URGH!

I've Made Up My Mind!

After much thought and browsing through many baby bedding websites, I have made a decision on our baby bedding!  :o)

If, at our next ultrasound they confirm it is a girl, I am going with this bedding from Pottery Barn!

I had originally set out to find a gender neutral bedding, mostly because we didn't think we were going to find out the sex and because we wanted to use it for our next baby as well. But after finding out she is a girl, I figured why not do a girly bedding!?  Would I really reuse this crib bedding for our next child?  Probably not, I get bored with things to easily.  So I set out to find a bedding that was girly without SCREAMING girl!  I think this bedding is perfect!  Its pink, blue, green and orange. I love it. With our dark espresso furniture, I love it even more!  :o) And how cute is it that I can get her name on the blanket!?  Ah!  So cute!

So now I'm eager to have our next ultrasound so we can in fact confirm that she is a girl.  Then my mom will order everything for me (it is going to be a gift from my mom!).  :o)  Hurry up next ultrasound... I want to schedule you!
