B's Nursery


I wanted to blog about her nursery
It turned out so beautiful!

Danny and I have been living in our home for a year now! Crazy how time flies. Although I have never hated the paint color of our house, I actually really liked it. That changed once we painted Brooke's room.. It's amazing what a little paint can do. I now want to paint every room in the house!
I knew I didn't just want to paint the whole wall a color, I was thinking bead board originally but going through Pinterest, I fell in love with wainscoting. My talented husband did the wainscoting along the bottom. We painted that white. The wall color I also saw on Pinterest, it is Rain Washed by Sherwin Williams. (If you are looking at the paint swatch, believe me, I know it looks TOTALLY different.) But trust me once you see it on a wall, you will fall in love. It's a beautiful light/aqua blue. I was kind of mad I picked this for her room because after seeing it on the walls, I wanted it for our master.

Brooke Moyes

It's been almost a year since I have posted anything on here. Although, I am sad that I haven't found the time or have found anything worth writing. That is all about to change. Danny and I are expecting our first baby July 23, 2015. Now this is something worth writing about. Let me catch you up on a few things..

October 2014; We decided we should start trying to have a baby. I have always been somewhat concerned I would not be able to get pregnant. I can thank cancer for that. We thought, might as well start trying in case it takes us a year or two.

November 2014; I had a long rough week at work. I thought a glass of wine sounded like just what I needed. First, might as well take a pregnancy test to be sure that was okay. (I had taken one a week earlier, which came back negative.) Peed on stick, positive. Scratch that glass of wine. Freak out a little! (in an awesome way) Greet husband at the door, "I'm pregnant! What should we do?!" His response, "Celebrate!!" 



 From that moment on we were so excited, we are going to be parents! 
We were in shock of how quickly it happened. We are so happy and so thankful. 

Pregnancy, lets face it, it has not been the best time of my life. I don't have the pregnancy glow. I am not one of the lucky ones that just gets a bigger belly. I have gained weight everywhere! And I mean everywhere! I have gotten so many stretch marks. I am still throwing up every morning. (I am 30 weeks pregnant!) I could go on all day of how much harder this has been than I thought it would ever be. But none of that matters because I am going to be a mom! I am so blessed that my pregnancy has been a healthy one. I have this perfect baby growing in my belly. I am so anxious to finally meet her. Have a mentioned we are having a baby girl? Her name is Brooke. Brooke (working on middle name) Moyes.
