17 Weeks

How I am Feeling:
Still feel good! I can't believe we are just a few weeks away from the half way point and from finding out what we are having!!


Sleep:
Still the same.


Cravings:
Food :) and still chicken strips haha


Best Moment of the Week:On Saturday we went to Rochester with my cousin Tarra to do our baby registries! She is a pro so it was really great to have her there to help us pick the right car seats, and what items we really needed for baby and stuff that was just extra fluff.  We choose to register at Target and Babies R Us, and were done with both registries by 11:30am! Which is amazing, considering our wedding registries took us ALL DAY! haha We are excited to start getting things for Baby C! We have a few things already, but we quickly realized there is some more that we need :)

Saturday night we were heading up to the cities to go to dinner with friends at the Machine Shed! We started this tradition back in January, and decided we wanted to keep going and trying new places! I choose this one, and it as really good! You get a lot of food and it was delicious!

Here's the whole group, we were missing a few though.

On Sunday we were ready to tackle getting some things done in the babies room.  We got a dresser from my cousin Nathan, Tavid has been sanding and is going to repaint, so we wanted to get that done, we needed to go pick up a dresser we had gotten from Ashley furniture and we wanted to get the babies crib put together.  It was a lot to do, but we got it all done and it feels nice to have made some progress on the nursery!

Here is a before and after of the dresser, it turned out great and we are happy with it!

Here is the new dresser we got from Ashley, it is really hard to find plain modern dressers! This one had a design on the top drawers that we removed to make it match the one above.  We figure, once Baby C gets older, if they want the design they can put it back on. :) This is the dresser we will put a changing pad on and use as a changing table.

The beginning of assembling the crib!

And the finished product!

 

We also painted this end table, it used to be black so we painted it green to pull out a color from the quilt on the crib above.  That quilt has been our inspiration for colors for the nursery.

We also had this ruler made by my friend Marne!

We have some touch up painting to do in the nursery, we still want a bookshelf, we need to get a glider for the room, Tavid is going to make a closet organizer and need to find some wall decor but overall we are proud of our progress!

On Friday, my friend Cassie and I headed up to Ikea after work to look for some items.  They are moving this weekend, and she needs some furniture for her middle child's room, as she is loosing her furniture to her baby sister. I also wanted to find some items for the Nursery. It was a successful trip! I picked up some shelves for the nursery, some drawer organizers, some decorative items,  and a shoe organizer for our back door.  It is safe to say, Cassie is hooked and we will probably be going again haha!
