Nursery Color Palette

So, I've decided on a color palette. I was on the phone last night with my good friend, Cgar, and while discussing baby stuff with her I found my colors! Yay! Basically all colors which appear in this painting (the one on the bottom right):



It makes me excited because I'm not limited to just greens and blues. Thoughts? Like or dislike?

Also, I found a bumper thanks to Cgar!!




See post below for other items that will enter the nursery. Soon I'll be able to start actually start putting it together. :)

The Great Nursery Debate

So, I know a baby doesn't really care about the colors or the patterns or the decorations that are in his room. A baby doesn't care if things match. A baby doesn't care about knobs. A baby really just cares if his needs are met. But I care. And unfortunately, I care a lot! I didn't think I really would, but an obsession has creeped into my life and I'm captivated by mommy blogs. More particularly, nursery blogs. It's amazing to me how creative people are....and how creative I am not. I go on a daily basis to Spearmint Baby blog to check out her collection of nursery photos to get inspiration, but the more I look at the countless photos the more confused I am with what I want to do.

This is what I have so far:
Paint color: arctic blue


Painting I must have in the room: Monsieur under the rain


Crib: White from IKEA-the Gulliver


Dresser: My old white antique dresser (love it for the old feel I get from it, but I don't have pictures right now)

Lighting: Adorable night lights from IKEA





I'm not too sure how the night lights will look, but I thought since the monsieur was so colorful it would be alright. And I still haven't found the bedding I'm looking for that will unite all of the colors as well. And I don't even know what all of the colors are! haha Any helpful hints or ideas from my creative friends? What do you think of what I have?

Belly pic time: 25 weeks and 5 days!

So, its obviously been awhile since I've posted a belly pic. I have a good friend (Elizabeth Martinez) who took these for me this morning out by Trinity River. It was so much fun. We both just practiced our photography skills. Maybe I'll have her take my pictures from now on. :) Anyway, I'm feeling great! My pregnancy has been perfect so far and I'm just enjoying the little (or sometimes big) movements my little one is making right now. Anyway, enjoy!!







And my beautiful photographer, Elizabeth:
