Nursery!

Finally pics of the nursery. It is not overly kiddish but we love it. It is warm, and I think cozy enough for our little boy. We did some re-purposing like the rug which was taken out of our downstairs master bedroom. The chair, and foot stool were taken out of the living room. I love that chair, it is really comfortable. I bought the stool at work last year, lol. Anyway, enough said :)

Dresser, letters and stuffed animals :)

Vue from the door.

Crib and pictures. I just got the bedding at walmart.

It was the only one that have the colors we like.

The fitted sheet with cute little monkeys :)

His bookshelf :)

Growth chart. I just got it to give it a childish feel to the room :).

Bad photo :(

Blankets :)

His closet as a storage, lol. 

Darn false labors!

I have two more days of work then I have to take an early maternity leave. I feel like it is a "forced" maternity leave, lol. Saturday 10th will be my last day at work. I'll miss all of the girls that I work with. If it wasn't for me having almost daily false labour, I probably would have stick with my plan to stop work on December 30th, but it is not the case. Going into false labour really hurts. Especially my back. I don't know what I am going to do with myself for the remaining of my pregnancy. All the crafty things I wanted to do for my baby's room are done. Maybe I should make a rag blanket. Marc and the doctor want me to take it easy meaning I have to rest, and nap. I don't really like doing that, not yet anyway :) So, I'll have to find something that is not too hard and that doesn't require me to be walking too much. The goal is too keep our baby inside my tummy for a few more weeks, and not have him before Christmas :).

I am longing to spend time with my son once he is born. I am so looking forward to having him at home. I've decided to go back to work once my leave is over. But I would only work on Marc's days off, so we wouldn't have to hire a babysitter. I won't be doing full shift either. I honestly don't need to go back to work but I think it would be nice to do so. Marc would have a lot of time to bond with his son and create memories together. And it would probably be good for my sanity, lol, just kidding! Nothing is written in stone yet. Either way, our lives are going to change for the better :).

Wooden Letters!

So, the wooden letters we made are finally done, and they are hanging in baby's room. The idea was really simple, however doing it was a little bit of a pain. My first try was a complete disaster, lol. Fortunately for me, Marc had an epiphany, and he was able to help me with the letters. I went back to the store to buy another set of wooden letters. Here's the making of the letters, lol.

Stencils that we used to trace on the paper.

The wooden letters.

Me using the stencils Marc made,
so I can trace it on the scrapbook papers.

The letters are cut out of the nice paper. They just sat on top of the wooden letters
instead of trying to wrap  them around the whole thing.

We sanded the letters, then primed them, then sanded them again.
After that, we painted  them white.

Marc gluing the paper on top of the wooden letter.
I did the A and C, haha!!!

The finish result! I really like it! I did mod podge it once the paper was glued.
We put the hanging hardware on the back of each letters,
and hanged them  in baby's room.

I will put a picture of the letters on the wall later. Maybe when I post pictures of the nursery :).

Book ends!

The home made book ends are finally done! They were since last week but I just now thought that I would post it in my blog :).

IN BABY'S BOOKSHELF:

Because of the size of the shelf, I had to use the book ends differently. I still love it though.
