Baby B nursery moodboard

You might remember when I blogged about Will's new room moodboard I said that I would probably leave his old room as is for Baby B as I didn't feel like decorating two rooms in a short space of time?

Well.... hehehe, do you think I could be sensible and stick to that decision? NO, the decorating bug bites hard and so here is Baby B's new nursery moodboard.

 

I've bought the cute whale fabric from Funky Fabrix and I'm using the teal, light blue, reddy/orange and orange as my colour palette as well as navy as the base. I'm going to make a cot blanket, cushion covers and cover the existing light shade with the fabric.

I've purchased the felt to make the rainbow cloud mobile (in the colour scheme colours only). I've got the navy curtains and because the one wall is already painted light blue I'm going to hang white tissue paper pom poms as clouds above the cot.

I think we'll get an ikea Poang chair to be my feeding chair but the navy one.

And I've designed the 'Somewhere over the Rainbow print' esp for Baby B (but might make it a new series to add to the shop - what do you think?) and I'll hang two chevron patterned prints on either side of it.

What do you think? I'd love your feedback! Any other ideas?

Thank you for your lovely comments on my new hair yesterday, I'm still getting used to it when I look in the mirror :)

Have a great day,

New Hair & a bump pic

Firstly thank you all for your advice re my change of hair colour :)

The general consensus seemed to be to go for the auburn with blonde highlights.

So when I got to the hairdresser I told her what I was thinking and then she got the owner to talk to me about the colour and I thought Hmmmm.... this is exactly what Trish said in her comment yesterday:

"Ok Janette, this ones right up my alley because I am a hairdresser!!!!
if you visit the same hairdresser all of the time he/she will give you great advice because they know you as a client, but being pregnant generally changes the rules. Often when pregnant at the time when you become really sick of your new body shape you will often opt for a change of hair to feel better, it usually results in one of those "hormonal" emotional melt downs, so NO good hairdresser would advise this. I would recommend a mix of auburn & blonde foils, perhaps a dark blonde & a lighter blonde, nothing to radical, to give you that slow progression towards going a little darker."

Which is basically what the hairdresser recommended too :) hehehe thanks Trish for the heads up!

So here are the results... 

(it's hard to get a good pic as the colour looks so different in different lights)

 

Not quite as auburn-y as I'd planned but quite a lot darker all over and the 'safety' of the blonde over the top.

  It's much closer to my natural colour so 'woo-hoo less regrowth!'

 29 weeks

 And here is a 'Baby B' bump update pic thrown in for good measure :)

So thanks again for the hair help! I wonder what Glen will think when he gets home :)

Have a great evening,

Bump update - 26wks

Good Morning! I thought I'd do a little bump update - I'm now 26weeks!

 

So here is me today... the weather is crazy and I never know if it's going to be hot or cold so I've gone for layers :)

The outfit isn't a maternity one at all...

 The navy and white stripe jersey dress is a super cheapy from SES and was about $8 or something crazy like that!

The navy top is from Seed and is very soft and cozy.

And navy/denim ballet flats from Walnut Melbourne.

All very comfortable which is the key at the moment ;) hehehehe.

We have nearly finished getting Will's new big boy bedroom ready, just waiting for the mattress and to put a few more things up. I'll show you when it's ready!

Have a great day everyone!

23wk belly update

Seriously! I'm only just over half way through and look at the size of my belly!

AHHHH!!!! I think this is going to be one BIG bubby!

 Last night we looked at a photo of my belly bump with William when I was in labour at hospital and you know what...? I wasn't that much bigger than I am now!

My back is giving me grief and I'm not sleeping very well - how am I going to do another 3-4mths!

My parents and sister came over yesterday and asked if we're sure it's not twins :)

Baby B kicks lots at night which is lovely to lie there and feel. It's all very exciting, I just can't wait for Glen to have his Christmas break so he can help me with lifting Will etc.

I hope you had a great weekend!

Guess what.....????

We're having a baby!!!

Yep, our little house is going to get a lot busier come April next year.

We are so excited and can't wait to meet little Baby B. Glen and Will think it's a girl. And Will refers to the baby as 'little baby sister' and talks to my belly in a high pitch voice with things like 'Hello little baby sister, you want a treat?'

Some of you may have guessed as it sort of explains why I've been MIA from the blog world for the last 3mths. My energy levels and nausea are starting to get back to normal - I'm 14wks tomorrow.

So yes, I'm joining all the other lovely bloggers who are pregnant at the moment so sorry peeps, there will probably be lots of baby and nursery posts to come :)

Have a great day!!!
