Well I think it's time to call it quits for a while on my big craft projects around the house. I can't seem to get myself into nesting mode this pregnancy and my guess would be because of all my crafting ideas that I seem to keep coming up with. Seeing as I only have 7 weeks left (give or take) I better force myself into nesting mode so I don't feel too crazy unorganized when the baby comes. I still have so many little odds and ends to get! I decided against a baby shower this time around so its up to Aaron and I to get all of what is left to get.
I had my doctors appointment today and it probably was one of the most annoying appointments I have ever had! We literally waited in the room for the doctor (not my original doctor) for an hour and then the appointment lasted about 5 mins. Not to mention this guy doctor was such a goober!! He was so awkward and weird it made me grateful that I have always stuck to girl doctors. I think the longest my appointments have ever been are 30 mins max. On a good note though I am on track with weight gain. I have only gained 2 pounds since my last visit and I am measuring EXACTLY 33 weeks. I guess that means Aaron and I were right on with the day I thought I was ovulating ;) I wont lie I am ready for this little one to get her!!
So my latest craft project was a headboard. We only decided to do a headboard because we got a cal.king bed and our headboard that we had was for a queen. It was so much work, but it turned out even better than I hoped! I got the idea off of pinterest and I was looking all over KSL for weathered wood, but everytime someone had weathered wood it was awful looking! So Aaron came up with a brilliant idea of taking down a section of our own fence and replacing it with new wood. The new wood was about $23 dollars so of course I was all for that as long as my mother was ok with it also seeing as it is her fence:) The plan was to have only the weathered wood, but after deciding a realizing that slivers could cause us to have a very unpleasant nights rest we went ahead and upholstered the bottom half and just sealed the top so it would help with the slivers. I am so happy with how it turned out! It was a lot of work, but well worth it! Of course if you get a new bed and headboard you have to get a new bedspread:) If you know me you know I love new bedspreads and I buy them often! This time I went out of my comfort zone and got a white bedspread. I was a little worried about it getting really dirty but its nothing bleach cant fix. Not only am I crazy about bedspreads, I am crazy and picky about my sheets!! 300 thread count is not allowed on my bed!!! I hate scratchy sheets and after I discovered 1500 thread count egyptian cotton I will never never never go back! I love these sheets and had to get more to fit my bed. So pretty much my bed is solid white and I LOVE it! I also made some extra decorative pillows to go with it that I put saying on them along with the date Aaron and I got married. It turned out perfect in my eyes and I love getting into it every night:)
