Madison's Room

This week I hit the 3rd trimester, and boy, has my nesting instinct been kicking in! I have been super excited about decorating Madison's space. She will be rooming with Jarrett and I for a little while, and although it will be super tight, we think it is best not to have the girls share a room until they get on the same sleeping schedule. Now that Lindsay is sleeping through the night, there is no way we want to interfere with that... one awake child will be enough for this Mama! We will be able to fit her crib in our room, and hopefully, my rocking chair, depending on whether we can move around a few furniture pieces.  That rocking chair is pretty amazing while nursing at 3am.... :) I am so excited for her to have her own room someday, and I have been having fun dreaming about it how I will decorate it!

Here is the bedding:

Yes, I am mixing it up a bit and using blue and pink. I think the ruffles and bows still make it girlie. I LOVE the little bird theme...We are going to get the bedding and crib, and coordinate the other stuff when she gets her own room...

Here's the furniture... Going with white this time around. I have a feeling that the girls will be trading their furniture and rooms as they grow up, so they can each have fun with dark wood and white.

Here is my room picture inspiration...Loving the girlie, vintage look:

Once we get her little area all set up, I will post some pictures... I was looking at the blog last time this year, and noticed we had Lindsay's room completely set up by this time.. and I was a due a month later. I think this time around we are so much more relaxed, we will be happy to have her area done before New Year's!

I get my next ultrasound on November 21st, and we are so excited to see our sweet girl! I have been doing great and feeling fabulous! My glucose test came back that I can still enjoy my sweets (yay!!), and I have gained a total of 13 lbs. this pregnancy so far, which is 8 lbs less than I was with Lindsay at this time. I chalk it up to chasing around a toddler and sharing all my food with her... easy portion control right? LOL. Jarrett and I are loving being able to skip the baby classes at the hospital this time around, and I think we are going to read a few chapters of What to Expect to brush up our newborn expertise. Madison's been moving and kicking around a lot, and loves to make her presence known whenever I read to Lindsay. Lindsay is doing well wrapping her little mind around the 'big sis' thing, but there is no way we can prepare her for all the changes that are going to rock her little world.  I feel so incredibly blessed to feel so wonderful, and have a healthy happy little girl, a loving and supportive husband and another precious little lady I just can't wait to meet in a few short weeks!
