The final items



Yay! The final items for the girls' room arrived. We got a rug and hand and foot print frame. I love the rug. I think it is a great addition. In the picture of the corner, there is the hand and foot print frame. Camryn's is on the right and Jordyn's is on the left. I am so happy with the room. I love that i finally have a theme and everything matches. We'll definitely add to it though. I want to add pictures of Jordyn below her name and i need to add another window vance so it doesn't look so weird.

We're sick again!

Camryn and I have colds again. It feels like we were just sick with colds and now they are back. Camryn has a cough. She did have a stuffy nose but that seems to be better. I definitely got it the worse. I had every symptom you can think of. There were several days where I couldn't get off the couch. Today, I am slowly getting better. I am able to move around which is the most important thing. I still have a bad sore throat, stuffy nose, and just feel a little out of it. I am definitely looking forward to March. Hopefully no more colds. It will be a busy month. I have dr appts every week, 2 birthday parties, my baby shower, my wedding anniversary and getting the last minute items for Jordyn.

So close to being completed



I worked a little bit on the girls' room today. The window vance arrived so i put that up. I started laughing after I saw it. It is so short. Nothing I can do though. The window looks so bare without it. Levi and I also put Jordyn's name on the wall. In the picture it looks really high but we put it high so we can put pictures of her underneath it. I decided not to put Camryn's name on the wall. I like it on the shelve. One more thing and the room will be finished. Tomorrow the rug should arrive. I am so happy with the room. It is exactly what I was hoping for.

Happy Valentine's Day!


I never know if I am going to get anything for Valentine's Day, but this morning I woke up to a beautiful bouquet of flowers and a card. :) That made me very happy. Thank you Levi for my beautiful flowers!

The room is almost finished






A few more things arrived today. Camryn's bedding and my new diaper bag. The room is looking really good. Just have 3 more things I'm waiting for and the room will be done. :) I finished painting the letters and the shelves. I am glad I repainted them. They look much better. Thanks Levi!

Jordyn's crib is all set



Now that Camryn is out of the crib, I put together Jordyn's crib. I'm very happy with the bedding I bought. On another note, I decided to repaint the letters. The pink was too dark. I will post pictures when they are done. It will take me a few days.

Camryn's bed arrived



Camryn's new toddler bed arrived today. It's a bit smaller than I expected, but it seems like a good size for her. She was so excited to lay in it. Levi wasn't finished putting it together and she already was trying to put her pillow down on it. As soon as he finished, she just right on. The bedding for it hasn't arrived yet so right now we have temporary bedding on it. Let's hope she does well with the transition.

The first thing to arrive



I got an e-mail saying that one of my items has arrived. Yay! It is 3 wall hangings. I didn't wait long before I went to go pick them up. I think they look really good on the wall. Levi doesn't understand why I bought them. But that's a guy for you. lol I also had bought a photo board that has baby footprints on it.

Waiting Waiting Waiting

The hard part of decorating the girls' room is waiting for everything to arrive. I'm not very patient. I checked the status of everything and it says the bed, bedding, and 2 accessories have been shipped. They should arrive between Feb 13-20. 2 other accessories are still processing but still might arrive that week. I ordered one thing from Target. A hand and foot print frame for Jordyn. I ordered it a few days ago and it says it should arrive between March 5th- 23rd. What???? A frame is going to take over a month to get here. That seems very weird to me. Luckily, I don't need it until after she arrives which could be April, but still. Odd.

Decorating the girls' room




First of all that sounds weird. The girls' room. Yikes, soon there will be 2 girls in my house. The process just started but I am having so much fun. Right now Camryn's room is not very girly. Levi and I went shopping for all her stuff before we found out we were having a girl. So instead of pink, the room is mostly green with a little pink, yellow and blue thrown in. When I found out we are having another girl I got so excited. I decided I wanted to completely redecorate their room and make it pretty and girly.

My first mission was to find bedding for both girls and then get a color scheme. After looking for a while, I found a cute bedding that came in both toddler bedding and crib bedding. It was pink and brown with flowers. PERFECT! I had to wait to get our tax return to be able to buy everything I needed. Luckily, Levi got his W2 pretty early and it didn't take long to get our return. I wanted to make sure the room was ready atleast a few weeks before my due date.

Last Saturday, Camryn and I went down to Kirkland. Met up with my mom and sister Kim and we went shopping. I wanted to buy as much as I could for their room. I came to find out that Target wasn't carrying the bedding I picked out anymore. BUMMER! I had to find all new bedding. After our visit to Target we stopped by my grandma and grandpa's house. We haven't seen them since x-mas. While we were there I looked on their computer for new bedding. Luckily, I was able to find bedding I liked at Walmart and it was so much cheaper than the previous bedding. SWEET!

After we left the grandparent's, we went to Walmart. I was able to find the crib bedding and the mattress for Camryn's bed at the store. Everything else I had to order online. So right now I am waiting to hear from Walmart saying that the toddler bedding, toddler bed, and some accessories has arrived. So while I wait I have kept myself busy with other stuff I can do. I went to our local craft store and bought some wood letters that spell out Jordyn. I am going to hang them on the wall above her crib. I painted them pink and brown. I also painted Camryn's letters. Her letters were light pink, yellow and green. I also painted shelves that are in the corner of their room. They were green, yellow and blue.

Stay tuned as I slowly decorate their room. I will keep you updated step by step and then I will reveal the finished room. :)
