Updates

Nursery
We are going to wait a few more weeks to take a video of the nursery, but in the meantime I will provide you with an update.  Last weekend, Shawn and Cassie put up the wall decal that we bought online from a decal shop in Florida.  Like every other "decoration" in this room, it was a bit of a process actually finding a decal and then deciding if it was the right thing for the room.  The crazy thing is that we actually purchased this decal before we changed the room totally!  It is a good thing that this decal still goes with the bew room decor because this was a non-refund purchase.  The decal itself measures 60 inches long and about 30 inches wide.  When they sent the decal they encouraged you to watch the video on their website about how to put it up on a wall and they sent practice decals.  Clearly, this is not my cup of tea because patience is definitely not one of my virtues.  So, this "hanging" project defaulted to Shawn and Cassie.  It took them about 2 hours to put the decal up from start to finish, but it totally makes the room and I am in LOVE with it!!

Baby
Over the past 2 weeks or so I have been feeling A LOT of movement in my belly.  It is very exciting and Shawn has actually been able to feel her kicking from the outside too!!  She definitely has her times of more activity, like at night when I am trying to sleep.  This past Friday she was particularly upset when I went to get a pedicure and I had the chair massaging my back.  She kicked me for about 45 minutes.

Clothing/Accessory Purchases
I am sure that people are going to think I am crazy when I say that I have never been on Etsy before.  However, I recently went on it after we had been searching for headbands and bows.  It is quite addicting actually and I have purchased several crochet type headbands with removable clips for her to wear.  The other thing that I have been looking for is any type of clothing, bib, etc. that says something about "my grandpa."  My dad keeps seeing all of these clothes that we have gotten that say, "I love my Aunt, Grandma, etc." and he was like, "Why don't they have any grandpa type clothes for girls?"  He actually has a very good point because you can find a lot of grandpa stuff for boys, but not girls.  With that being said, I decided to get something personalized for him.  As I was searching the internet, I came across a shirt that said, "Grandpa's fishing buddy." I immediately was like, oh my god, I have to get one made that says, "Grandpa's boating buddy."  I found a website that made personlized onesies and had it made to say just that.  It came in the mail yesterday and I was able to show it to my dad last night.  He was all smiles and absolutely loves it!
