horray for zulily



horray for zulily & their deals.  i have been obsessed with the inglesia zippy stroller system since before i got pregnant & knew it was the stroller i wanted. i love how it has a classic, yet modern pram style. lots of conversion possibilities, compatible with the car seat we are purchasing...oh man, i am excited! i have read nothing but great things about the stroller system & i am beyond excited that it was featured on zulily today & i was able to get it for my little teddy graham.  yay for cute strollers!!!!

grey & turquoise are my favorite colors

1: the style of dresser & color of dresser for the baby's room. we found an awesome dresser on craigs list for $40.00 that we are refinishing
2: dresser knobs we are putting on dresser (anthropologie cocktail ring knob)
3: the swivel/glider chair & glider ottoman we ordered from Oh Baby! 
4: the crib (oeuf sparrow crib in grey)
5: one of the accent colors in the room i.e. cushion for window seat, pillow for crib, pillow for chair, lamp base
6. one of the curtain colors (the ones we already purchased are linen c/ large brushed nickel grommets from restoration hardware) i am in search of cream sheer curtains with an interesting texture to hang with the grey curtains
7. accent color for wall that dresser will be on, very similar to the #1 picture (benjamin moore silhouette grey)
8.fabric for window seat pillows & crib bedding, bumper. 


I am still in search of:
- a new light fixture for the room
- a great print wallpaper with quatrefoils or lattice print for the room. i'm looking for something in the turquoise family with cream. very very difficult but i will make it happen.
- artwork. i know for sure i am ordering rustic industrial letters from restoration hardware once we know the gender & i have seen some creative graphic prints from ETSY but i don't want anything too "cutesy"
- shelving. found some i love from ballard furniture & west elm but i'm not sold yet
- a pop of another color but that is dependent on the gender as well

week 18




i am excited to go to charleston, sc in 1 week & to run the cooper river bridge run.  it's one of my favorite races & i am so thankful that i can still keep a decent pace & comfortably run 18 weeks pregnant.  someday it will be a stroller i am running with!?!  the whole thought of that is CRAZY! 

the UPS man has delivered a few more things :)
 throw for the baby's room. found this on copy cat chic's blog

i am not alone


the bump is emerging & i love it.  i am moving from the "i just feel fat phase" into the "i love my new pregnant body" phase. i am totally head over heels in love with my little teddy graham. i had no idea you could love someone so much that you never met!!  i don't know if it's hormones, how enamored i am with this growing baby inside of me or a combination of both but i came across this poem & it made me cry happy tears.
I Am Not Alone
Running errands and talking on the phone,
I am pleasantly reminded that I am not alone.
Little tiny hands a precious rounded knee
pushing and twisting that no one can see.
Oh sweet child kicking up your heels,
it is our little secret that only I can feel.
I look forward to your birth,
when I can kiss your skin,
but for now I will just smile,
As I feel you play within.

i am so wrapped up in everything baby. baby blogs, baby magazines, nursery planning, day dreaming if this will be baby "E" or baby "A"...i think i am obsessed. philip and i have been doing LOTS of nursery planning the past few weeks (well really since i found out i was pregnant) but really starting to get things started. we even recruited puppa. thanks to his craftsmanship & free time we saved $255.00 on the changing station that matches the crib we are ordering.
